Lone–YOU’RE KIDDING!!! That may be the best thing I’ve heard all week!!!

Did anyone mention that the animated versions of these animals bounce on their testicles as a form of travel? Probably, but an important fact!
*boing boing boing boing boing

I’ve never heard of these!!
I looked at the title and saw “Raccoons” but didn’t see any “dogs”!!! This is so cool. I’d love to have one.

berthaslave—They can’t get me to talk about big testicles, either. No sir!

there so plump!!!
I just want to squweze one

How comes we get the only *modest* tenuki boys around?
Hmmmph.

Group hug. We all lurves the kyoot!

(and I am eating pudding right now, caramel vanilla, with a warm dog on my lap who is snoring. I appreciate this no end, because I have a horrible cold and my big furry fellah seems like he is breathing in tandem with my soul)

Life can be so good, if we just focus on what is love-filled.

Peace, folks.

Okay…I’m so sorry if this is out of line here, but I think the biggest problem is that people don’t read other posts before posting themselves. I realise it’s not easy when there are over 100, but you should at least skim.

Colleen, had you read how many people had already posted about the fur etc. and how many times Theo had to edit, you most likely wouldn’t have posted your comment. Theo was basically saying, in general, “Enough already!”

I’m a mod on a couple of other boards and I know the printed word can often be misunderstood. As Colleen said, we can’t see each other, so why don’t we all imagine everyone smiling now, okay?

Group hug?

Didn’t take the “physically beat” comment seriously–apologies if that’s what it sounded like. Just expressing my general frustration with the tone of speech folks so often allow themselves because it’s “only” the internet. (I doubt this little convo between you and I would have escalated so quickly in person–but I can’t see you and you can’t see me, so we make assumptions about each other) And I would NEVER want Theo “removed”–gah, perish the thought–hoping for more foster kitty stories myself . Just saying (or trying to say)– to Theo alone–maybe take a little breather before you bust out the sarcasm, please. And that’s all. So now I’m out too–off to see if I can turn my scrap yarn into a ping pong ball cozy.

I think you might well have taking my ‘phyically beat’ crack seriously.

Try not to. Cause it wasn’t serious. Just using words to express the fustrations that moderators go through when getting flack for doing their job.

Don’t take things so literally for crying out loud. it’s kind irksome.

Yeah, totally done now. Chow Bella.

1. Perhaps you should take a serious look over the posts that spawned the hardcore nuffing and the rare harsh response. Perhaps that will answer your own unfounded fears and prove them, well, unfounded and show that you are making a bit of a fuss over absolutely nothing at all.

2. I object? Actually I’m just fed up. Perhaps its because someone on the forum I moderate on actually picked up the phone and called the board owner trying to get me not only removed from my mod position but banned from that forum altogether. Why? I made the terrible mistake of expressing my opinion on a subject that disagreed with their own and furthered that evil by using the open post window to actually conduct mod duties by asking everyone in the thread (a touchy subject was the topic) to keep it nice.

So I guess you can say that, being a moderator, I know what it takes and I know EXACTLY how it feels when someone publicly complains over several posts about how they don’t like what the moderator is doing/how they are doing it. Because 9 times out of 10 it’s over nothing at all.

Like this time.

You aren’t the only one edited. Others were. Theo stated that he did not see your original apology because at the time it went up HE WAS DOING MOD STUFF, and yet you keep on compaining.

It’s over. Deal with it.

Cause I’m done this discusson with you.
