For the first time yesterday I was involved with a thread where a newbie left YT after all that mess. It wasn't the subject matter that I disagreed with it was how some posters worded their posts. I know that there are many smart, educated members here with a strong passion regarding some hot issues but some newbies come to YT to learn about those issues or have questions regarding those issues and want to learn. From them learning they can educate others and that's why YT and other forums exist..not just for pretty pictures and funny stories but to learn about our Yorkies and how to make their world a safer and healthier place.
Yes and by the time most people read heated threads the bad posts are deleted so some question why all the fuss? If they only saw what was deleted then maybe they would understand.
