The statement below is very true. I also don't come to this forum often....but when I do there is usually a "breeder bashing" happening. I've watch some terrible things being said about outstanding breeders....including the one in this thread today. It's almost like a gang attack with more and more members piling on. I did a quick survey of the posts in the "breeder talk" section of this forum. It is astounding to note that almost any thread with anything over 50 replies and normally around 3,000 to 5,000 views is a thread about a breeder. Any other topics which to me seem worthy because someone is usually in trouble and asking for help for their bitch or puppies seems to demand little to no attention. This to me is proof that the bashing of breeders is far more attractive to most members who post on this forum. It also has come to my mind that some of the posts on this forum could be construed as slander and therefore I can see a lawsuit happening very easily. I still do not understand why the members feel the need to attack their fellow Yorkie lover with such vengence. It is appalling. One more thing the members of this forum should understand that many breeders are watching and I can assure you.....you would not qualify for a puppy from such breeders. The fact that many members can so easily attack surely is a scary thought to most breeders.....good and bad. JMHO

I am sure some people may be interested in the truth but there are some that simply go from drama to drama trying to point fingers and inflame the list. People jump to conclusions without ever knowing the people involved at all. If one statement is made, many take it as gospel. When the person that is attacked comes on to defend themselves and set the record straight, it becomes a witch hunt and everyone assumes that you are guilty until proven innocent. I experienced this myself recently without any provocation at all. Prior to that I was rarely on this forum. Since that time I have been monitoring the forum and I see this same pattern time after time. IMO, there needs to be more respect shown both ways and if you have a problem, at least try to resolve it privately before coming on here |
