@txyankee66: This forum is full of animal lovers, most who view their own fury babies as human family members, and would stop at nothing to find them if they were lost. You have everyone's well wishes and hopes that Patches is being cared for well until returned home. No one here would dispute that.
I can see that you just joined this sight a bit before 2:30 A.M. this morning, so it makes sense that you might not understand forum traffic from the perspective of regulars here. When the same handful of posts, all about the same topic, keep getting bumped over and over again, day after day, long-term once the "negative" comments occurred, it keeps other new topics from being at the top, and artificially pushing others down, keeping them down. It's not your doing, but multiple people were posting on your behalf, some with tech issues, posting multiple duplicate posts that had to be removed by Admin.
People speak "negatively" out of frustration over what can appear to be manipulation of the normal flow and traffic. Everyone here is intelligent, saw the pics, read the details and were on the lookout. They didn't need a fire storm of reminders, bumps and multiple copies of the same picture, details, etc. People were not intentionally cruel, they were frustrated. Multiple, rapid fire "reminders" to those already aware did not and will not bring Patches home. The regulars understand your motivation, so please also understand the perspective of those regulars who were frustrated at the situation.
Everyone hopes and prays that you find Patches, and wishes you both the very best, and many more happy years together. 4951
