mydiamond Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sometimes I forgot that I practically grew up in H-O, which clouded my judgment towards internet forums in general. I have always told people if you're unsure about something, there should be a forum for that. But sometimes I forgot that not all forums are as great as ours. Sometimes I forgot that the online world is full of mean, mean people saying mean, mean things. Sometimes I forgot. When we join forums such as this one, the rule doesn't state you must be an expert. The rule will never state how many years of experience you need to hit that sign up button. The whole point of forums is to facilitate discussions so everyone can learn something new everyday - seasoned hobbyists and newbies alike. Sometimes we would have an opinion that we always thought to be true. But apparently once we throw it in people say it's inaccurate. That's fine, there's no harm in discussing it. And then there's the learning part again. But when someone gets a full-blown "wherever did you get that from?!" to a piece of information they threw into the discussion, nobody's learning anything. When the seasoned members threw thinly-veiled snide remarks to the new members because they apparently don't have a good grip on the forum rules just yet (what happened to clear communication?), nobody's learning anything. I joined this forum to learn. I join many others with the same intention. Nobody joins a forum to be yelled at for not being an expert. No forum should be yelling at people for not being an expert. Everyone should learn something new as they go, no matter how experienced or knowledgeable they are. But apparently, in most forums out there, you're not allowed to learn as you go. You either walk in a completely clueless noob, or an expert that is unable to say anything wrong. If you're in the middle, apparently, people will yell at you until you fit into one of either extremes. I never minded being corrected. That's how I learn. But there is no need to be mean about it either =\ end of rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 When I find a forum like that 'Liv I just don't go back. This place set a standard that not many can match. Those that are, are a pleasure to be a part of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Oh wow, you've been having a bit of a rough ride there, haven't you! l guess that's kind of a uniform problem with various online sites, you're always going to get one or two know it all's who will ruin it for everyone else. Thankfully we don't get that here and for that i'm grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 People suck sometimes .. but good can come of it as well. If I wasn't driven off another forum by big headed snobby people, I wouldn't have found this place probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's why I have always came back here. No other forum, especially husky forums, can match Husky Owners Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I must say, that this forum is very friendly. Hey, they took me as a member. I belong to some automotive forums, and they are vicious sometimes. You have to choose your words very carefully, and hope what you have posted does not encite an undeserved bashing. Not fun. I have often said, this forum is a special place. It's like home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Can somebody edit my post I misspelled "facilitate" and it bugs me to no end LOL and yeah... I can't really leave now as I need to update my foster's forever home on how he's doing, but once the fish leaves I would too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 well said Liv This place has never and will never be a place where anyone should feel judged and the staff make sure everyone is treated equally and with respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudlucky Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Its unfortunately not only on forums, but in life out there as well these days! Most people are just mean and think they are always right...but on here its much friendlier than real life, only thing friendlier is our Huskies!

mydiamond Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Which is why I so want another LOL can't decide if my next rescue should be a Husky or a non Husky. Technically once Dime comes over if I have the time and $, I'd have room for a second. That being said it felt sorta intimidating to approach a breed-specific rescue being a college student living in an apartment. Felt like I'm gonna get rejected right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said it felt sorta intimidating to approach a breed-specific rescue being a college student living in an apartment. Felt like I'm gonna get rejected right away I don't think a Husky rescue would reject you based on your knowledge of the breed and how good you take care of Dime! If they do just send them on here and we would sort them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Oh is that so? I thought people apply for a specific dog and then they'll figure out if you're a good fit. If not you get rejected. edit: and most rescues don't see apartments as the best living space too =\ Edited December 30, 2015 by mydiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
