    I sent Anne a PM yesterday regarding her post in the "recruiting efforts" thread.  Here's what I sent:

    Anne,

    Your post in the "recruiting efforts" thread has been removed.  I understand why you don't agree with the motivations of that forum or its members, but we would prefer to keep such issues off the forums here.  Mods and Admins here do not have the time or inclination to police what happens anywhere else, indeed that is not part of our "job description" when we are asked to become staff, albeit unpaid staff, here.  

    I think there should come a time when we just need to realise that certain minds are not going to be changed, and that people are going to act the way they are going to act.  The best we can do here is keep THIS forum as pleasant to be a member of as possible.

    I would appreciate it if you could refrain from posting further about other forums, if those posts are not complimentary, as the potential to create a "war" that would be detrimental to this forum is huge.

    Thank you,

    Kate - dog.community Administrator

    This is what I got back:

    I pretty much expected that.  Don't worry - those *&%* won't get any more free advertising from me.  Now they will only get it from idog.

    I am fairly sure that if the link in question was to another forum Anne was a member of, and not one started by someone she hates, she'd be fine with it. 

    I know she's a long standing member here, and I respect her knowledge.  You guys have known her longer than I have, so I would love your opinions on this.

    She did complain off the record to me about the recruiting for chaz whatever.  But, not so much as this time.  I told her yesterday that I hope that they ALL go there and stay, and that she should hope the same thing instead of fussing about it.  I also told her she can't save the entire world and every dog in it from training she doesn't like.  And I did remind her that she's defended my using a prong with Thor way back when, so that perhaps others deserve the same.

    All these blasted CM threads need to stop.....they are stirring up more than they are calming down.
