It just makes me sad that "social sense" means run with the herd or be attacked.
Differing points of view are important. Whether we enjoy them, or not. It helps prevent blindness, and what is by definition, ignorance.

As I read it, Wert made a statement of opinion. The attacking and aggression originated not with him, but with the "kind and compassionate ones." Ironic, that.

Obviously was a personal story that the OP put out. That kind of sets the tone as to what's acceptable to say.

The OP was obviously distressed - so maybe it was time to stop...I am stopping now.

Ok, fast forward...I waited nearly a year, and finally got another friend for mannies, she is not the same color as boo-boo was, looks nothing like her, but....she and mannies had babies recently and low and behold there is a little female that looks just like boo-boo and here is the kicker...this baby has a hawk on her chest!! Look at this pic.

Illusions, I think that is exactly what Wertdagf meant, I doubt he meant any harm. I kind of agree with this method of leaving but personally, I plan to be floated down the river on a pyre
And seriously, ignoring the guy because his views differ? Thats just what I call "censorship".

"I plan to be floated down the river on a pyre "
your rotten stinking corpse just floating on a River,
What you are saying is "my corpse is going to poison a River"
"And seriously, ignoring the guy because his views differ?"
Unintelligent views on matters as this calls for ignoring "the guy".

Although I love people, I have always had a great love of animals and nature. I had a cat once that I got from the humane society and if he heard me sniffle like I was crying he would run jump in my lap and lick my face. They love us unconditionally and we could learn much from them I think.
