Thus why I got banned from that other website.

Re: Well if you only listened
The breeder dude who said I am quitting. What happened to him?


On this one board, you say one little thing they don't like, and they start acting mean to you. We were talking about the movie Herbie and someone said: "I hate talking cars" and according to the new one... I said "it's not a talking car, it has a mind of its own" and they are like "dumbass" and then I posted why they got angry at me for that they suspended me!

Re: Well if you only listened
That member is not a member of this site. They are still a member of the other site and are currently waiting for their last preg, sow to give birth as she was bred before the girl decided to stop breeding.

The original thread on the other forum is closed down now because it became a bit of a breeder debate and lord forgive anyone that dares question breeders and actually call a spade a spade when their actions cause death and suffering.

Re: Well if you only listened
oh, okay. So you discourage any type of breeding, even if you are a good breeder?

Re: Well if you only listened
Define for me what a "good breeder" is in a world where animals are put to death every day due to overpopulation and not enough homes. Tell me why there is a need for "purebred/show quality" guinea pigs when all they are good for is pets. Explain to me why it is fun or educational to breed an animal.

If you can give me decent explainations to those things that stand up to a logical argument then I will concede to "good breeders" can breed. If not then maybe you will understand better why this forum is anti breeding.

Re: Well if you only listened
I mean a breeder who has a lot of cage space, and doesn't torture the guinea pigs with over-crowding. I guess it isn't such a good thing, but there would be no guinea pigs if there wasn't any breeding.

I thought both forums were going to be quiet about each other now?? Looks like that forum has managed too... but not this one.

Huh? First of all, in no way has the 'other' forum been quiet about anything. They've kept their 'bitching about us' post alive constantly and the propaganda against our forum has always remained on the home page of their site.

And this thread was almost a week old before you decided to keep it alive.

So, no, that forum has 'not' managed to be quiet and neither have you. Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Ha! They have been keeping quiet? You have got to be kidding me. There are new posts everywhere saying stuff about us, not even considering the fact that their bashing thread has been open since day one, while any thread that an argument may be starting that involves someone from here is immediately closed.

That gave me a good chuckle.

Re: Well if you only listened
I'm sorry I did not realise week old threads were classes as ancient here. I just assumed like all the other forums it would be ok to bring the thread up.
OK I must have missed the threads about cavycages then.. just that I haven't seen any! But then again I'm not a regular member on there.
fourbwabbys, aren't you a popular member on there? Or is that another forum?
Glad I made you chuckle.

no I haven't really seen any bashing threads there either, a few memebers have been told to come here due to the members leanings towards what we stand for and yes that thread is on the news thing which means it is on the front page but there have not been any threads like this particular one here.

It's not unless the only reason you bring it back up is to tell us all how awful we are for talking about it in the first place.

I've seen them. Their ridiculous "truth" thread remains on the front page, encouraging members to post, which they do. There was just another thread about cages where one of the mods Talks about how they "don't talk about this site". Seems like an oxymoron.

If you noticed they are usually told to come here after the breeders roundly abuse them for their welfarist views and they are told to come here like we are some sort of forum full of maniacs.
