I acknowledge this Kitty for her remarkable judgment. Good Day, Rebecca. You
may sit to me, if you so wish.

: : I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the wonderful work that
: : Mietze (by way of Melissa) has done for all of us over these last
: : years. She alone has remembered the names of those cats, dogs,
: : ferrets, other furs (even a snake or two), and hoomins who have
passed
: : to the rainbow bridge during the past years. She puts their names
in
: : her Walk of Remembrance and has worked tirelessly on the behalf of
all
: : of us to keep the names of those we've loved alive forever. This
: : year, my beloved Lissa's name was called after she died shortly
after
: : last year's Jellicle Ball. There has been no one more dedicated to
: : this task than Mietze/Melissa has been, and I wish to thank her for
: : that.
: :
: : That said (and I wish to make clear this is not aimed at those who
: : simply asked questions), I would like to add that those few of you
who
: : have *complained* should be ashamed. If rpcc no longer wishes to
have
: : a Jellicle Ball, that's fine, but it is a sad day when some in a
group
: : of people who have supposedly been brought together by love of their
: : furs should attack someone who has done nothing but try to give some
: : consolation and solace to those who have lost their loved ones. I
: : have to wonder if those who have been so quick to criticize will
step
: : up to the plate and remember those who go to the bridge this coming

gennle snippy

RPCC is NOT the same group that it was back in the day when it was RPC,
and we had to preface our headers with "MEOW", so that those that
wanted
to filter out our meowchat could do so. Some people will say that in
some ways, RPCC is a better group. Some will say that, in some ways,
it's not as fun for some people (having said this, there ARE valid
reasons that some RPC folks stopped posting, other than it just wasn't
fun anymore [lost internet access at work... don't have the time
anymore... there are even some people who still cannot access RPCC
through their ISP or newsgroup provider, even though it's been around
for a long time now. Some news feeds just don't carry it.]). I
personally prefer to just think that RPCC is different these days...
not
in terms of "better" or "worse".

You also have to remember, too, that people change as they grow older.
What was once upon a time fun just isn't anymore... not because it's
turned "bad", so to speak, but because the people have simply outgrown
that kind of fun (which is what I think has happened to me, to some
degree, as I've gotten older). Another reason things have changed is
because kitties' likes and dislikes change over time, as well, not to
mention that there ARE a LOT of newer kitties in the newsgroup. That,
right there, will "shift" the interests of the group, and that's not a
bad thing at all, I feel.

Indeed, Unka Cory, I agrees wif dis.

Every kitty and hooman that *posts* here
should feel welcome and have fun being here, and if that isn't the case
for you anymore, then it's time to bow out gracefully, rather than
ruining a fun time for everyone else.
