The whole 'you said this' 'you said that' thing is not helping anyone so I ask kindly to be more careful what you are writing in future as this is by many times, not the first time your replies are needlesly aggressive. I hope if you read the start of the thread again from an outsiders perspective you will see what I mean.

I was very confused by what I read throughout this whole thread, nothing to do with the original topic 'Dangers of feeding commercial food' which I agree is always a potential problem that we as cat owners need to be kept apprised of.

As a new member to this forum, I feel that one on one disputes need to be kept private and not brought out to the forum for all to see. A lot of what was said here is obviously coming from a history that I as a new member have no clue on and if I was a more sensitive person I would have left and asked for my membership to be deleted, but, as I am a seasoned pet owner and not new to forums and the chemistry between people I will remain and just let my discernment be known to the rest of the membership.
