See, the only thing I meant by anything is that the OP never said anything about money and I felt it was worth mentioning that nothing was ever said about affording anything. You asked that how they could afford vet care without being able to afford grids, but how did you know they couldn't afford grids. That's all I meant, and even added in the end in case I was wrong how they could save up money. But in response I get this long message about absolute assumptions and realistic views of the situation. Never mentioned anything about that and see no reason you should have either. And I see no reason now that there should be any mention of conflict over advice I felt like sharing. I also see no reason to state your authority by telling me how long you've been on the forum. I've been browsing this forum for a very long time also and I only said anything because there is a ton of instances where the longer standing members really assume things and end up saying things that have nothing to do with the original post and mention how much more experience they have and it does come off as accusatory and rude. I told you it came off that way because I already know how helpful you are on many posts and I thought you'd want to know if you accidentally came off in a bad way. Just because you've been helpful a lot before doesn't mean you're not being rude now and because I figured you didn't mean to seam that way I mentioned how we shouldn't assume. Just to let you know though, it doesn't matter at all how you meant what you said, it matters how the person listening takes it and though I tried to just nicely say something in the beginning I'm being told more things that have nothing to do with the things I said. I never said anything about new members not needing new information, I never said anything about you not being helpful on other posts, I never doubted how long you've been on the forum. Ive gotten to where I don't even want to be apart of this forum because the longer standing members always respond this way when people try to give them advice on how they handle things and when they only want answers for the questions they asked instead of being interrogated about stuff they never mentioned. I would never have been this upset if you hadn't acted like no one could perceive the things you said as rude or wrong. And the problem is that no matter what I say you will only respond telling me how wrong I am over me pointing out one thing I felt shouldn't have been said. Anyway, I'll drop it. But you really should consider that sometimes the administration on this forum, including you do assume sometimes and you do mess up. I still can't figure out how "I have thirteen grids" means I can't afford more grids, but I do highly regret offering my own advice even though I do still think you were assuming things in your original post. Again, was never trying to be rude, I was only trying to be helpful and somehow that turned into me being told I was interpreting your post incorrectly.
