I think dog V4 is sad. I don´t think that you have to punish yourself.

I don’t really think it’s necessary for you to do that. If you’re referring to that particular thread From the weekend, then what you said was not offensive, rude or otherwise.

It was a neutral comment that was not out of line. Unless you’re referring to any other comments that you’ve made, then why worry yourself? It’s not necessary to punish yourself.

It was *that* thread which is gone now. It had potential for massive harm. There are victims on here and that thread had the potential to bring their nightmare back to life. I spoke to Tree and the result is that thread is gone. I have no idea if others also complained.

Sorry, I should have said thanks for the supportive comments. I'm still very shaken up by what happened.

I know it was. And honestly, there was nothing wrong with what you said. I fully agreed with you then and I fully agree with you now. despite the further information, it was still a sickening thread and the upset that it caused was obvious. I’m glad that Tree removed it.

And I know what you mean. Be kind to yourself but don’t punish yourself. You’ve done nothing wrong,

Thanks. The ball was in my court to do something. I just feel that saying something in that thread has upset an awful lot of people. Doing something about it may have too.

No. Doing something about it is way better than not. despite the additional information That came later it was still disturbing and sickening to read. And its okay to feel some compassion but give acceptance is not possible. You did what was right, and I’m glad that you did.
