I find this thread pretty bad too. Lots of people do come here for support & maybe some questions seem pretty stupid to experienced bandster but having this thread where they are mocked & made fun of isn't very supportive!!

In general I am pretty patient with newbies, as are most of the people who posted on this thread. But the truth is, newbies ask some pretty dumb questions. It seems to me that a newbie should be inclined to run a couple searches before asking "what is a pb?" We can be patient with dumb questions, and give people the support they are looking for 99.9% of the time. But just this once, I think people decided to let off some steam over these dumb questions. To me, this seems acceptable. I think the Karma gods will forgive. I think that people will find the support they are looking for. But just this once . . . After all, if I have to answer "what is a pb" one more time, I may loose my mind. :heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh:

You are right, some of the questions are a little bizarre. If someone is constipated all they need to do is say, "I'm constipated, is this typical for others and what do you do about it?" Instead they have to go into complete detail about what their pooh looks like, what size balls it comes out in, how long it took to pooh, and details that honestly... we don't need to know.

A little class can go a long way.

Reminds me of something a friend (and poster here) was telling me recently. Her son hurt himself at a football game and she was taking him to ER for an xray. A pregnant female at the game had a vaginal discharge and in the middle of the game she decided she needed to go to ER that minute even though this wasn't a new problem.

On the way to the hospital she took her underwear off and showed each person in the car her discharge. Including the 14 year old kid.

Again... just a little class would go a long way.

Sometimes the questions here are along that level.

Or when someone flat out explains in their post, I don't chew well, bites are too big, I eat too fast, and eat all the wrong foods and I get stuck. Do I need an unfill?

What the heck, how do you respond? They already know the problem so why are they asking? It's a reason to start a thread and post. Can't they think of anything they actually need to know or want to discuss?

Oh my, then enlighten me. Just how many IDs are you posting under, Liz?

[sweethazel 1]

wow, you really are very paranoid aren't you? In almost every post I read from you I am discovering that everything I herd about you is true.

I don't buy your little speach either. You are not required to answer newbies questions. i think you should let someone else who is better at dealing with people assist them.

If I read your posts right, you believe it is acceptable to answer a newbie's question then come straight to this thread and make fun of the very questions they ask. That is exactly what you have done. You are not required to answer newbie questions. This isnt your job. Maybe it is your LIFE but it isnt your job.

I feel so very sorry for you. I bet you have a housefull of cats too dont you?

Yes, you are correct, I think that is perfectly alright to answer a newbie's question and come straight to this thread and make fun of the very question they ask. I would not make a habit of it, but I think it is perfectly fine to do one time. And I also know that if I were a newbie, I would think this thread was very funny too. I am quite capable of laughing at myself.

In any event, your indignation and heroic defense of the little guy has been duly noted. Thank you for your contribution. All 26 if my cats are duly impressed.

[sweethazel 1]

well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here to ask, should expect to be met with such contempt.

no one is required to answer newbie posts. if you don't want to answer them, then just leave them be for people who do want to give back.

Being an animal rights activist (to put it mildly) bless anyone who has a houseful of kitties. I can only surmise if they do, that they have adopted same.

Well I like parrots- my parrots talk to me. Do your pets talk to you?

[ingyrob 1]

I like parrots too, but I could not eat a whole one. I also like children, but my band won't let me eat a whole one of those either
