As I’ve written about before, I am a member of two of my local Freeclye groups<\/a> and while I love the premise of it all,\u00c2\u00a0 it never fails to amuse me how many rules and regulations the\u00c2\u00a0 moderators like to impose and how heavy handed they are in their issuing of “sanctions” when there has been a perceived breaking of these rules.\u00c2\u00a0 Give someone\u00c2\u00a0 a bit of power and it goes straight to their heads – However in saying that there are a few rules in whic I agree the main one being you’re not allowed to offer animals –<\/p>\n

As an animal lover I agree because I feel animals should only be dealt with through reputable sources – guaranteeing the welfare of the animal along the way – but if one were to be offered in a group I am a member of I wouldn’t feel it my place to say anything as that’s what the moderators ARE there for, which is why when this following post appeared today it amused me so much – why anyone would want to take it up on themselves to have issue with another member is beyond me but to get it so very wrong along the way is just absurd – I saw the initial offered posting so I know this is accurate:<\/p>\n

I have just had the most rambling email of a J**** S****** about my treatment of animals, as follows:<\/p>\n

“Sorry, but I have to say what so many others are thinking. You should be ashamed of yourself, rehoming a living creature, on a site like this, to what I presume was a stranger! You know the rules, along with everyone else on Freegle, and they are there for a reason! You obviously didn’t care about the dog, otherwise you would of rehomed it in one of the appropriate, and more caring, ways!”
\n<\/em>
\nWhich was in reply to my offer as follows:<\/p>\n

“I have a large dog teddy, its real cute bout 4 ft long, cost \u00c2\u00a360.00 Would look great in nursery\/kids bedroom. Needs a wipe as some coke was accidentally dropped on it, collection asap or off down the tip.”<\/p>\n

Please if your going to complain and make a fool of yourself J**** then read it first.<\/p>\n

Thanks M****<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
