And also to share in their wonderful experiences they with their amphibians. Yes it's very sad when some one loses a friend because of mis-information, and it's very frustrating to those who read it, but more so the person who lost their frog or toad because of ignorance on their part!?! Think about how they feel! Next time you want to respond in a not so positive way please PM the person. My concern is that if someone is in need they won't look for help here and isn't that what community is about, helping those in need?
Oh !!! I can't bear it . I have to chime in- with my acknowledgment to and respect for Frog Forum.

I have (several times) been taken back by a reply to a post. I have logged off thinking I will NEVER go back. Maybe it’s just me; I’m sensitive. I have tried very hard , personally to “get along”, if you will ?

There is a pull here for ME though. It is John. ( and frogs hehehe ) Read his posts ; he never sounds like this !!! Have respect for the founder of this forum! It’s that simple!!

Everyone has heard people disagreeing. Sometimes it sounds funny and sometimes it sounds merely unpleasant; but whatever it sounds like, I believe we can ALL learn something very important from LISTENING to the kind of things (FF members) say to each other. They say things like this: 'How'd you like it if anyone did the same to you?' or “You are wrong” !

What is interesting about remarks like this is that the person who makes them is merely saying that the other person’s behavior does not happen to please them! Unfortunately, some NEVER reply. Sadly, the just go away

AND we ALL know who these members are

Right or Wrong ?- “ The Law of Right and Wrong” aka “the Law of Nature”
These reactions are human nature. But remember, if you leave a fellow FF member unsupported ( in any way ) in mid-air, they will fall like a stone.

I hope you will not misunderstand what I am trying to say. I am not trying to preach, and I do not make believe I am better than anyone else here. I am only trying to call attention to a fact; the fact that this year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed conduct ourselves in the way we should have.
