slow coach advert

newforestmum · 02-07-2006, 10:03 PM

just got back from bristol decided to check my emails

found a nasty email from someone in reply to a advert that I posted on slowcoach

I had advertised for female iberas to even up my group

the person who sent me the email was not at all nice

I did reply to the email "How dare you judge me when you do not even know me"

I am very upset and have emailed slowcoach and requested that they remove my post.

who are these people? do they take pleasure in upsetting others?

not a nice end to what was a lovely day

That is not kind. Dont let it put you off. You are offering unwanted torts a good home then carry on.
People may be unkind but dont let them win.

I posted an ad too on that site and reptilekeeper.com - while most of the replies were good you did get some people that felt the need to throw their opinion and direct some rather nasty remarks to you so I can understand how you feel. It clearly gives these people a sense of power when really they a busy bodies with nothing better to do than sit online all day, believing the world needs their views and picking fights...

well done for wanting to take on torts and keep your ad up you've done nothing wrong!

Hi Lisa,

When you advertise regularly people become suspicious and tend to judge the advertiser too quickly. I've had it in the past when I used to advertise regularly. Don't let it put you off though. It of course does not give permission for anyone to send offensive mails.

You should stick it out. Withdrawing your ad means their e-mail had the desired affect.

All the Best
