I don't usually do this.........

But seriously. You have just blocked one of the oldest, most kind, caring and supportive vets on this board. Un-******g-believable. GROW UP.

Edited to add, since I'm on a tear apparently: I can't believe that some of you think we're "mean". It's almost laughable, considering the hundreds of people I have supported and helped over several years. Speechless.

Well, likely not. Come on back and challenge my advice and support.

 I may not always agree with you, I do however respect your advice and look forward to your posts. So whomever blocked you doesn't deserve your knowledge. Breathe and don't let petty people ruin your evening.

I don't care if you agree or not, quite frankly.  Live with this for 6 years and be completely successful and then talk to me.  People post on a PUBLIC board, ASKING for guidance and advice and god forbid those of us who actually have experience express an opinion.

 As I said I respect your opinion and look forward to your posts. However if you chose to take the fact that as human beings we do not always agree on everything that is your right. But I would look at the fact that what I said was you were respected and people cared what you had to say.

Oh, I totally respect that people don't always agree on things. And I thank you for your comments, as I respect you as well, Alicia.  I suspect you can understand where some frustration and disrespect comes from in feelings in people such as myself.  I meant no disrespect to you.

 None taken, and thank you that means alot coming from you. 
Just know that those of us who want to go into this well armed and with all the knowledge that we can, read what you say, take that advice and file it in the do or do not list!

 OMG I hope you're okay!  I don't post often, but I read every comment on this board and you always have honest and heartfelt advice.  Please don't change!

Oh, I can't change. LOL This is me. Some people have very defensive, and I suppose "hurting" self esteems. It makes it difficult to give honest, serious, good advice at times. It's too bad and I wi**** wouldn't happen, but it does.

It's their loss and leave it at that.  I have some that blocked me for being blunt and honest and that's fine with me, they are the ones missing out not me. 

Yep, done.  The sad thing is that it makes me hesitant to help other new people unless I'm all "rah rah" even if they're doing something dangerous.  Done with this one.
