I support the moderator. Dec 9, 2020

KudoZ to the moderator, have a great day. He/she is working hard to clean the mess.

If everybody left this site just because they couldn't find something or didn't like one thing, there would be nobody left on the site at all. Couldn't believe the comment "I can't blame her", simply unbelievable.

Leaving the site is overreaction and probably one of the oddest things I have ever seen on ProZ.

If I understood it correctly, she left the site because:

If I understood it correctly, she left the site because:

1. She couldn't find "veterinary medicine" listed on the specialization list
2. Because someone asked her to clarify what "all things" means when it comes to specialization. This question was asked for a reason and clarification purposes, because I noticed a lot of different aspects on the list that could be broadly related to veterinary medicine one way or the other (eg. agriculture, medicine (general), livestock, etc).

It’s not what you meant to say but what you did say, and how you said it. I don’t know whether that’s linguistic, cultural or personal, but it also struck me as abrupt, hence my comment about bulls in china shops...

You can say my name. And I stick to that comment.

As to the reasons Mélanie left, if you had read her second post carefully, you may have found part of your answer.

I stopped responding to KudoZ due to condescending attitudes, but unfortunately every time I try to exchange on this platform, "colleagues" put me down in no uncertain terms.


Again, I can't blame her.

PS While I'm here. Is there any chance you can tone down the neon green frame around your profile pic. It's really heavy on the eyes. Thank you.

Edited for a dyslexic type of typo. So typical of me. Apologies.

Just the first two? Dec 9, 2020

Cue general rush to view Barbara's website ... I mean, do you have a counter there? Must be thousands more by now.

The third also invites some reflection, in my opinion.

Most delightful posts Dec 9, 2020

If there is ever a contest, by the way, for the most beautiful, delightful and wonderfully heartfelt posts on this site, my votes go to Exy and PLF (equally, but in alphabetical order). A tear often drips onto my keyboard, I own.

That's why I hide behind a giant cat. Saves me constantly having to beat people off with a stick. And it gives the others a chance.

My beauty is such that I constantly receive charcoal drawings. In the run-up to Christmas, they send wax models instead, which make for a lovely, cosy ambiance in the home.

Many thanks for your kind words, Mervyn!
I have no words. I can't find a blushing smilie here...
My posts are nothing compared to yours.
Believe me!
