Thread: Differing Opinions ....

Sadly once again I'm having to defend the actions of the administation first thing in the morning, it's really not pleasant going around in circles on this issue.

1. A SUB FORUM is certainly not necessary in addition to the diet and nutrition forum to discuss the risks of raw feeding. That idea doesn't make sense, do you see yourself posting new threads in there daily?

2. Whereas the subforum for RAW FEEDING is, I repeat there solely for those who DO raw feed to discuss the matter and recipes etc to ensure people do it properly. Whether you or me think thats right or wrong, it happens and will continue to happen.

3. A SUB FORUM is certainly not necessary in addition to the diet and nutrition forum to discuss the risks of raw feeding. The majority of forums on here are for general debate. You wouldn't go into the Breeders of Scotland subforum and start discussing the risks of interbreeding, so why is this any different!?

4. The fact that you claim people are being silenced and driven off the forum is Ludicrous!!!! - The person who has left, left entirely by choice and was extremely hostile on forum. If you cannot debate issues without turning on the other members when people are not swayed to your way of thinking then leave by all means, regardless of your stance on a topic there is NEVER need to throw tantrums and belittling the other members just because you don't like their opinion. This above all my points is the most frustrating as it feels I'm repeatedly discussing toleration and respect for others with my kids.

5. So just to clarify you disagree with the admins, (who are trying extremely hard to keep balance despite receiving abuse via PMs themselves!) because a. we haven't created a dedicated subforum which will probably only contain one single thread in all likelihood. b. because we've allowed free discussion of the debate but clearly stated we won't tolerate abuse for the protection of all our members, and c. because we're encouraging 'friendly' debate you think we're unbalanced.
