What happened to this group?

I hate the term "thin skinned" Some have gotten enough abused over the
years that they try and find a group where ideas are given a chance, even
if not quite presented in the "right" way. This group is supposed to be
about the animals, not just one persons opinion. I have been called enough
names ands sworn at, by someone very ill, over the last few years to last
the rest of my life. Don't know why it is necessary to talk that way to
people. Nice is not a dirty word.

It doesn't help when a new poster, just feeling out the group by asking
a
question, gets a load of abusive name calling and swearing chucked at
them. One or two people have killed the group with this viciousness. It
just makes people delete the NG after the first post. In fact for a lot,
their first post is their last. All because of this nasty attitude.

Usenet is not for pussies. Pussy.

Some people are thin skinned
I've been to many different groups anf it's normal to rub someone the
wrong way
There is always the plonk key
