Girl, you need to chill out, relax, maybe have some chips and dip. The reason the vets are generally "bitches" is because, to be honest, they have the right to. They've been on this site a while, and have seen the same shit popping up over and over again, and they generally know a lot more than you (or I) do.
Picture this: You're working in a zoo, standing right next to the zoo directory. It's a nice map that has a "you are here" light, and shows directions to all the exhibits.
Now despite being right next to a directory, you get about three people every minute asking you where to go to see the elephants. Would you be able to stand there, every day, and direct the same people to the same places, despite standing RIGHT NEXT TO A MAP that would give them that information, if they bothered to look?
I know I'd sure as hell get a little cranky.
Now apply that lesson to the forums. These amazing women have been here for a while, and they've seen countless threads pop up asking the same questions or making the same remarks. After so many people being too lazy to use the search or even scroll down the page, I'd say they have a right to be a bit grumpy when someone comes in and pulls a stupid.
Not to mention the attitude they get anyway. This isn't Gaia Online or Facebook. This is an actual community, that cares about it's members. We take care of our own, and anyone that attempts to spoil that harmony gets shown our bitchy side. You can either adapt and become a member of the community yourself, or you can leave.
None of this was meant as a personal attack, mind. Just some observations.
