It just seems that sometimes these threads can and do get pretty heated up, and when they do.. you just Then found out that person you were upset with is only a young adult, and you feel pretty bad about it because some of the language that was used or what you said, should not have been addressed to a child, let alone another member of any age. So I guess I would say we need some type of sensorship  I feel YT is for everyone at any age. my concerns are for the protection of a younger member . if we see a thread that upsets us we have a tendency to verbally abuse this post. Not even considering that this person might just be a child, and only made the mistake of not have worded their post correctly. An adult can usually handle the situation ( or should be) getting upset with a child and (not knowing) how old they are is a concern for me. I really don't have an answer for this, So the only thing I could think of was an age requirement something that would protect all members of any age. |
Well, I don't want to offend anyone, but the new YT rules say that no one should be saying that sort of thing to anyone. Like you said, "if we see a thread that upsets us we have a tendency to verbally abuse this post." Well, no one should be verbally abusing any person of any age on this website. I think that having younger members on here is a good idea so that everyone remembers to control their anger and not say something they are going to regret. JHMO
I also wanted to reply to one of lovefor3yorkies posts.

I do not agree with that. Several of the younger members have never acted anything like a child. I know that myself, Jhordan, and Megan have never whined. We have very few misspellings and grammar/punctuation errors, and just for the record, I am only 14, and I know many 16 year olds who can't spell at all, and they don't write very well either. I do not think that you can put an age on things like that because everyone is different. Not every 16 year old has good grammar and spelling. I can spell and use punctuation better than both of my older brothers and my stepdad who are 16 ,20, and 41! They are very intelligent, but they aren't very good in English. I hope that I didn't offend anyone. I do not want to start any big argument or anything. I am just fighting for my right to be a YorkieTalker because I love my Yorkies! This is JMHO.
