hi thb
Hi well you know I'm in devon not long since I saw you! I'm not a member of the devon tortoise group. For a few reasons really, but basically for the reaction that you experienced! Id be a bit a scared to go in and get my head bitten off!!! Maybe we should set up our own tortoise group THb?!

I couldn't agree more I have known Jenny and the Devon group for many years and to be judged like this by a person who in the first instance couldn't even get the name of the group correct and who has never been to any of the meetings is totally wrong. It is the easiest thing in the world to sit on your beam end criticising and whilst constructive criticism is good this sure ain't been that. I would respectfully suggest you go to a meeting and see what it's like you never know you might learn something!

Sorry havent read this thread in a while becuase it thought it might get heated :/
I didnt mean to cause offence to anyone on here, the tortoise group or this Jenny that everyone keeps mentioning. I wasnt directing this at the group as a whole, just the person that i spoke to! i wrote this thread to say how upset i was about the way i was told how wrong im keeping my tortoises. Can i just ask everyone.....How would you feel if you got in touch with someone just for a torty related chit chat and got slated? Would you seriously just go, oh, okay guess i'll change everything and join the group to 'learn something' ????

I meant as in people from the group? I didnt think people would take the word 'them' as the entire group?

I am "people from the group" but I am also a member on here so does that mean that we (everyone who is a member on SW) is of the same opinion as one another......no, so why would you think that about any group? |

I didnt mean to offend anyone and certainly didnt want to cause damage to the DTG. I merely posted a thread about how the person made me feel and what they said. This was the opinion of one person not the whole group, so slating the group wasnt my intention.
I know different people have different opinions (as shown in this thread) and i understand that you obviously have a very strong opinion about how great the DTG is and im sorry if i offended you or any other member for that matter. Maybe next time i won't say anything and just keep it wrapped up shall i? I just dont appreciate being spoken to like cr*p and made feel bad about how i keep my tortoises.

Since the person in question is unable to reply or unaware they are being accused I think it's unfair on the DTG to keep this going as their opinions may be completely different to those of that one person
