Oooo! A dedicated "plants" forum. Bobby and I could get behind that! /sarcasm
I think the point being made here is that a suggestion was made and discussed in the "Suggestions" forum, and a mod recommended that anyone in support of a Pets Forum start topics to test the general interest of all the members. Several of us took on the challenge and started pet topics of interest to us. They were generally well received and had numerous posts of suggestions, opinions, further questions and links to more information. I found the input by others valuable to me, but I can't speak for anyone else.
Then it becomes rather obvious that the challenge to start pet posts (well received by other members) is somehow tainted because we responded to the challenge given?
Give me a fucking break. I stopped posting or starting new threads the minute I saw that hand writing on the wall. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Lady Sage decides to not rock the boat and says she is out of the discussion and she gets this response:

Why? Because you aren't getting your way? There's no other way to put that.

Hal, you and your mods own this decision and it was unfortunate that y'all didn't see an opportunity to be encouraging and supportive of your current and new members. New folks would find a pet forum a totally "safe" place to engage with tfp, feel supported, and move on to other forums.
There is some serious short-sightedness going on here. Analog's continuing insults to members in not at all helpful. These aspects do not encourage the growth of membership at TFP imo.
