Adult Guinea Pig
So, I've been going around the forum looking at threads (Mostly on tips or help) and a lot of people have given there personal opinions and straight away someone have jumped down there throat telling them that's wrong. Now.. unless I'm completely wrong, the point in this forum is for people to give there personal experiences, opinions etc. Its actually upset me how some people have been truly rude to other just on there opinions. I know, that everyone is going to have different views on things etc, but there is no need, no need at all to be rude about it, or get dam right aggressive towards them.
Which then leads me to attitudes and the lack of tone of voice. Pretty obvious, but we can't hear how each other is saying things. So.. if your in a bad mood one day.. the chances are the way you say something (typed) is going to come out pretty crappy. Equally... even if your in a good mood the way you type something may not come across the way you mean it to. I think we just all need to really look at the way were typing things, and re-read it before we actually post it. Its making a lot of the threads become really heated in places.
Also, Its not mine, or anyone else's place.. to tell people, bluntly, how or what not to give/do to their piggies. Its all advice! And at the end of the day, my opinion can be completely different from someone else's... I may have a wonderful experience of something.. and someone else might have a really bad experience! Its the person who posted the threads choice on who to believe and probably go with the majority view.
Anyway the whole point in this is to help people see that the way you say things on here, might not always sound great. I think we need to take a step back and re-read out posts before posting them up, like I said. This forum is amazing for advice, and I think a lot of people rely on it when buying things for there piggies etc, but arguing and having heated debates over 'personal opinion' isn't going to fill anyone with a load of confidence. We all need to chill out.. and be friendly...
