First of, everyone --- this is meant to be a FUN thread - with some seriousness thrown in
What personal "rules" do you follow when you participate in forums like this one?
I'll begin:
Number One Rule (for me): I must be Humble.
Number Two Rule (for me): I must Remember that not everyone is as humble as I am
Number Three Rule: I must avoid being rude, crass, abusive, or otherwise offensive becuase what I give will be dished out to me somewhere along the line
Number Three Rule: I must remeber that there will always be one or two or many who will disagree with my views, opinions and experience - some gracefully and some quite violently
Number Three Rule: I must remember that when my opinion, view or experience is not shared by one or some, it does not diminish ME as a person, nor does it automatically invalidate my opinion, view or experience.
Number Four Rule: I MUST remember to appreciate the wealth of information shared freely in this forum and be generous in turn with my own.
Number Five Rule: I must remember to ENJOY myself, other posters and their fab pets as I read and participate in discusions.
Number Six Rule: I must remember that forum members come from different walks of life, will have different world-views, opinions, experiences... but we there are at least two common denominators that unify us: a common passion for our pets and the desire for better and safer food and meds to give them.
Number Seven Rule: I must remember that God and the angels are watching everytime I am tempted to "chuck a nanna" (tantrum)
Number Eight Rule: I must remember that I am human and that sometimes... I break my own rules
