If you go reread my post, which I've not edited, I stated: "However, I don't think it's ever fair to judge a book by its cover.  I could not reach the conclusion you did based upon photographs."   

My post is in the framework of me, and what I think and what I wouldn't do.  I don't advise or lecture you to do anything. I'm stating my position for me.  Take it any way you want, but I don't see lecturing there.   

I never asked you to change your posts.

The bolded part above was in the same paragraph that you directed specifically at me. That is what I see as lecturing.

I never really got what this little animal chewing popcorn was supposed to mean, something derogatory or maybe he's bored, what?

I think it means he's watching a show, or something like that.  You know, sitting back, eating popcorn while watching drama played out between the posters.

I explained my post.  What you bolded is, as I said, my opinion -- to which I'm entitled.  I can't help your perspective if you want to take it as lecturing.  But I'm not changing how I post my own opinions because you choose to take that perspective.

Bingo.  I like both of the posters involved in the sub-plot going on in this thread.

Birdmama, I have not had a problem with Pearlee before either, in fact, I have agreed with and hearted many of her posts. Just directing that paragraph or her post to me felt like a lecture or a scolding. I was very nice about it in the begining, I thought, or I tried to be.

Pearlee, what was your nick before the change?

.I know this idea is 'out there' but I was thinking...What if these boys faked all this ...maybe they were mad at their parents for something and thought this was a way to get back at them.....

If those boys are still alive and I was their parents I would make them wish they were dead when I got hold of them!
