: I have to agree that that there are some immature people on this board looking for attention. Guess what! I ignore their comments just like some of the people here do. You could do the same. I have coming to this board for a while since I have
: found that this board gives me alot of information about these adorable creatures. I come to this board to learn about sugargliders. I want to learn as much as I can before I bring one or two home. I have to commend those like Bourbon, Jane,
: etc. who dedicate themselves to educate people about sugargliders because they are not for everyone. These people have put alot of time and effort to learn about sugargliders and deserve credit. I don't think school can prepare you like the
: hands on experience can. I just wish there were more people dedicated to educate the public about other pets as well since there are many out there looking for homes or put to sleep because of ignorant people. I don't think of my pets as God
: but I think they are very much like people. They have feelings and emotions therefore they are part of my family(kids). Pets don't ask for anything else but love, food, and shelter and they are the best loyal friends you can have until they
: are gone. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and many feel very strongly about them. That is ok because if we all thought and felt the same way, this world would be a very boring place to live in. We don't have to agree but we can take it
: for what it's worth.

: : All of you need to stop and take a look at yourselves.Now look, do you notice, that the same people who talk on this page everyday is the ones who have to gossip about nonsense.
: : Their are others here that donot know enough info. on gliders and want to learn, but how can they? When most of you are in a, so called, (click) and dont like responding to others that donot know anything about gliders and need help.And when you do, you act like they're stupid or something.
: : None of you have "experience" with any glider, unless you have indeed been to school and studied them.
: : Each of us has to start somewhere with knowledge about one.
: : And its a shame that people who write on this board cannot get any info. because some people acting so immature and like a fifteen year old child due to being jelous over another.
: : Whats up with misspelling words. Most of you do it.
: : I really dont care if anyone here thinks this is a bad message, but its true.
: : Alot of new people, leave this board because of the way some talk to them. I dont blame them.
: : Some are acting like they own it or run it and its not right.
: : Most of you have only dealt with gliders for a year to five maybe. Thats not enough knowledge on one species.
: : I love gliders with all my heart, but never will I put any animal before human kind.Most of you talk as if they are gods. They are animals. Dont take that wrong, I love them dearly.But in time, their may be a reason you cannot keep a glider anymore, and you have to give it up. Then that is fine.Its their choice to do so. They are not humans, they are pets.
: : I know alot of you are going to get mad over this, but like I said, I dont care. You need to look at how your acting. Some of the kids on this board act more mature than some adults.
: : All of us have questions and all of us have answers reguarding gliders. Now its time to unite as one and help eachother. Thats what friends are for.Although we have never met, nor, talked privately, or have not been here a while, we are all friends.We all have the same conversations over gliders and we all need some advice every now and then.
: : I'm not telling who I am cause its not important.And I'm not affraid of who might say "this" or who dont like me, its the issue of who you really are.
: : All of us are good people. Some of us disagree how one does things, but that is basicly life. You have to accept these things or this world would never get along.
: : Remember this, there is always someone who knows more than another, and is always better at things than another.
: : Thanks for your time.

I totally agree with you, but I normally dont write on this board. I just read it alot. And I got tired of people making rude remarks about this and that.
Expecially kids, who probably did want a glider just because they seen one in a magazine.
I've just been reading and reading and got sick of how some of these people talk to others.
I love my gliders like I do my kids. I would never get rid of them for the world. Its just, some people take in these animals not knowing what they got into.
Some have to move or cant keep them no longer. That doesnt mean, others need talk bad about that person. I appreciate your honesty and not getting rude with me unlike Jane. I followed up with her and I was rude back. I was trying to be an adult with what I said, but I can see how really immature she really is.
I am tired of reading this board only to find smart or rude remarks by other, telling people they should not get a glider because of this or that.
It is completely stupidity.
This is a board for glider gossip. Not who knows more, who knows less. Its questions and comments.
Alot of people have left this board because of certain people. Most are young adults and kids who really need info. and help. They have gone elsewhere. I always read up on Bourbon's responses because I do feel she has alot of knowledge. Her methods have worked for me in the past.As well as others.
Everyone is taking what I said, in a negative way.
I might not be the one to word things correctly, but I get it out someway. I'm just upset by the way people talk to the new ones and eachother.
Arguements over things that really are not important.
I wish some could understand that this is a comment and question board.
I want them to see how others that dont post here, just read it, see what kind of nonsense is going on.
Dont get me wrong, Their are people here that are really trying to help others, but some people just like to make the ones who are new to gliders feel like they dont know crap.That makes them feel like crap. I talk to alot of glider owners, they mail me to ask advice because they dont like coming here.
I understand the problem.
