I was asked by someone to remove the Halloween pics, well i hope im not being victimised as i see pics of horses hens ect which ALSO are NOT setter related so is the person who asked me to remove my pics also going to aske those members to remove theirs??? or will it be a case of who is friends of who????
I did not see your Halloween photos, however this is a site dedicated to our beloved setters and primarily this is why we come here ....to see photos of setters, to talk about them and to hear all about them! I suppose there are other sites where you are free to put any photos you like and about any subject you like! I don't think this has anything to do with 'who is friend with who'. Please don't be offended, this is just my point of view.
I totally agree with you Catherine, personally I don't want to see any pics of halloween, horses, cats, wedding pics etc. this site is Exclusively Setters, people should " read what it says on the label" !!!!!!! regards Linda.
Harsh words indeed Linda...
Seeing photos other than Setters gives an insight of members lifestyle. First time since joining have I read such negativity...
I do think this is a rather narrow point of view, trying to somehow make us all stick to a certain formula.
I have enjoyed seeing Carmels newly-painted red gate, Dee's lamas and Susans new kitten as much as I have liked looking at pictures of irish setters running, hunting and playing.
If we dont like the selection of photos on this site...we dont have to look at them.
And I for one do flick past loads of photos I find boring.
We dont all have the same tastes and interests, but seeing photos of chickens, lamas, elephants, weddings and babies does give a more complete picture of the person.
And in a way that is also what this site is all about...getting to know each other better and perhaps learning a bit more about our breed at the same time.
It sort of goes hand in hand... we are all free to choose the photos we want to look at and the blogs we want to read or comment on.
And thank god for that! :-)
I Have to say because it was MY page i could do what i wish as long as it was not rude or dissruptive...seems thats not the case, but i will be watching in future what gets posted
Is there anyone inparticular that moderates this board? The person that told you to remove your pictures looked to be just a member, is she also the moderator?
Then Carol should be able to post whichever pictures she wants on her page. The board is set up so anything we post in OUR album is there for everyone else to see. If others are posting pics of barnyard animals and such, then another member should be able to post Halloween pictures.
No member should be ordering around another. I get bored with some of the pics, too, but everyone has the right to put anything they want to in their albums. AND, it would be nicer to REQUEST that a member remove something you don't want to see, there's no need to demand it. No one here died and made anyone else the boss.
I did not see the photos but were they in any way offensive or could they have been seen to be offensive to some of our members? I am only thinking aloud really here.....
Astrid thankyou also its nice to think we have some fun loveing people on here ..i love seeing everyones dog pics and i love my dogs also but i dont eat sleep and talk dog all the time i also have a job and a family
