Sharing Recipes

rec.pets.cats.anecdotes ): "Bobcat" wrote in message . .. I've heard privately from someone else in this newsgroup (rec.pets.cats.anecdotes) and have apologized to them for crossposting. Further, I think a group apology is required, so this is it. Sorry. My only reason is that I have an aversion to persons - especially trolls - who attempt to disconcert readers of cat newsgroups for their own warped pleasure, and was expressing my aversion of them to those readers. Bobcat We always welcome a chance to share recipes! ; (Other groups trimmed from this message - YAY I remembered this time!!!) Hugs, CatNipped I see you took the opportunity to snipe on my sarcasm about recipes. My intent wasn't to put down trollbques. Not in the least. I like em, and have read some recipes I'd never see elsewhere, and laughed at what probably confused the troll being torched. My point was that some of you enjoy a good flamefest as much as the groups you profess to dislike and it was even more evident when a reg crossposted a flame. I admire Bobcat for the apology and IMO it should have been left at that but you just can't resist posting a subtle jab at my expense. I think honesty is refreshing, in this group in particular. [the rest is not for you Catnipped] Some of you may have noticed I don't post anymore, most of you are probably glad or don't care one way or the other. I've been reading, we've been sending silent purrs for those in need, and smiled over the happy news, but I've also seen attitude that I've never witnessed in this group before. Maybe because I've only posted for 2 years, and maybe there was more of this before, but the side-stepping flaming surprises me. Maybe my own attitude has changed, but I dare any of you to imagine having a life-changing tragedy that doesn't bring you out of it on the other side the same person you were before. I've always liked this group. I'm sad to have to leave it, but most of you don't treat me the same anymore, or even seem to care about me. I never thought I'd think that about you. Thank you for the past, and the cards, and being with me when I needed you then. -- Cheryl /unsubscribing Cheryl! You will be missed. I understand perfectly what you're saying. This group has either changed, or my perception has changed, and I"m not sure which. I still read and post occasionally, and I suspect the change is part of the normal ebb and flow for any group. Some of the core members are the same sweet bunch that were here when I first started posting 3 years ago. But for the past few months it's very easy to start feeling like you're perennially on the outside looking in. I try not to take snipes personally, whether just perceived or real, on this group, and on the other groups I simply don't care. Take care. Sherry |

I know I must have missed something, because I didn't see any sniping going on. I did see Catnipped's post, but it seemed ordinary and innocuous to me. But maybe there's more than meets the eye. My eye, anyway... Joyce |

But maybe there's more than meets the eye. My eye, anyway... I didn't see any sniping either. Perhaps I can shed some light on the matter. Back on Sept. 7, a new thread began, broaching the subject of lack of feedback to a couple of posts, posts that the author felt merited more follow-up. Unfortunately, Cheryl had just opened up the same topic in a different thread and took the newer thread to be a callous attempt to satirize and ridicule her. I have the misfortune to be the author of that second post and it could have contained some of the remarks that Cheryl refers to. I apologized to the group and privately to Cheryl who probably had good reason to feel that my article was a dig at her. I regret the remarks I made, not only for themselves, but for their unfortunately timed, but I assure you quite accidental, juxtaposition in time to Cheryl's remarks. I count myself blessed that I was able to attract one new poster to rpca, and would hate to see that good deed blotted out by driving a valued contributor away. Please stay, Cheryl.

Cheryl, if I hurt your feelings in ANY way by anything I've posted, I am SO sorry. I love you and value your postings. I'd been worrying about you not posting as much recently, but thought that you needed some space to deal with after Eve's death. Please don't leave the group because of something one (or more) of us said. We love and need you. Pam S. |
