I would like to chat about another forum I went on. It is called Guinea Pig Lynx. I have a guinea pig. (Now I Have two as she was lonely and I got another girl ). It was recommended by several sites I think by this site too. Initially it was ok and I read some useful stuff on how to look after the guinea piggies. Then I started getting some kind of aggressive/negative messages saying that I should not get any animals if I cant take them to the vet etc and that I am irresponsible - all this without trying to understand what was happening really (It was true I could not always take them to the vet -but they were all sick and all at the same time and then I got sick and had to have surgery and another one again). So after several members supporting each other in making negative comments to me I have not appeared on that site again. I was wondering was it just me they responded to so negatively due to the fact probably I was so stressed as a contributory problem or is this site known to be a bit on the negative side to some people? If so why?! This is not to gossip or just to vent but I would like to understand what it was about in there... I am not too sure at the moment.
