If the word 'mutt' is offensive to you, don't respond to it. If others follow suit then its safe to say that it won't be used anymore or it won't bother you or anyone else anymore. Its not a matter of EVERYONE being PC... its a matter of picking your battles. An online forum is a nice place to go and escape the 'real world' around you, but not a place to get so worked up about an issue that someone you don't know personally posted about, just ignore it and enjoy the rest of the site, members, pics and posts!
Mixed breed, mutt, purebred, yorkie, nonyorkie, everyone is welcome to post here! All questions/comments/information and fun posts are appreciated, welcomed and loved by a majority of the members!
Please don't feel the need to leave!! |
I agree with you 100 percent..however sometimes its unavoidable.. Example.. when some one with a mixed breed will post something about thier dogs, such as "how big will my morkie get".. a simple question right? Well the OP will get responses like.. "its not a yorkie its a mutt so you dont how big it will be"
or "why do people continue to buy mixes" etc, etc and it turns into a debate making the OP defending themselves as to why the got the dog in the first place, making them feel very unwelcome, Ive seen it over and over again, in just the few short 2 months Ive been here.
