everyone has different ways of speaking thru posts and many times it probably comes across as harsher than if spoken aloud ....but I really don't think people go out of their way to come across as rude...I think there are some honest direct posts then some that maybe shouldn't have been posted...but the one thing I can say is most of the people who ARE posting love yorkies. It would be too bad if no one ever spoke up for fear of being bashed because they weren't as tactful as others.
I agree we should always be civil & the breeder section does seem to generate the most diverse opinions....we can either read and learn or get upset and not read...I prefer to read as I've learned alot in that section...not that I'm a breeder but you never know

.....one day maybe that could change ??
Kidding !! but I do find it interesting.
just saw your post txshopper - WELL said.
