[AlpacaTalk] Re: AlpacaTalk

Dear Shari,

I would like to apologize to you personally if I offended you. I did
not intend to offend anyone. I was frustrated and tired of folks
throwing mud at each other when it was not necessary. It has gone on
long enough. Earlier in the week I had asked folks to step back and
take a breath and look at both sides of the story…However the
situation still became inflamed.

Alpacatalk is a good site that has much to offer us breeders.
Sometimes it may not read fun but that is rare. Most often there are
good discussion….sometimes the discussions are on the warmer side but
rarely do they become this inflamed. Alpacatalk is a place that is
free speech…unedited.

I do apologize to you and anyone else that I may have upset. I hope
that you all can understand that I can not handle watching punches
being thrown and I am the type that will step up to the plate and
call it as I see it. I am human and I am willing to take
responsibility for my actions.

Sincerely
Toni Kester

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: AlpacaTalk

Look. I don't want to remove members. If people dislike discussion, the
choices are to delete those emails, read on the web only, or if it's
really that insufferable, you are free to unsubscribe yourself. The
link to do this or change any settings on your membership are at the
bottom of emails from the group, or if on the website clink the link
next to your name at the top left where it says "Edit Membership."

If you prefer to view only certain points of views or to limit speech,
there are plenty of other groups out there.

Best wishes to you all,
Heather

[AlpacaTalk] Fonzie and the eye

hi - just to let everyone who shared their experiences, information and resources with me know that Fonzie's eye is much much better - only a little puffy around the lid still. The BNP ointment works wonders.

he is feeling good - thank heavens he didn't stop eating through this whole ordeal, the boy has a good appetite for such a little guffer.

thanks to everyone who emailed - it made a huge difference to not feel alone in this.

Shari,
Good luck getting removed. I have requested to be removed since the
nonsense has started and guess what, I am still here. I delete 99.9 % of
all AlpacaTalk that comes in.

To the AlpacaTalk moderator. Please delete me from this group also.
If you can't then tell me how to do it myself.
