You can always try for change but if people don't want to change then you can't really change their minds.
You need to realize that this is a public forum with many many yorkie owners from all around the world. They all have different views, opinions and styles. What works for one doesn't work for another. What may be rude to one isn't to another. It sucks but it is reality and life. The world as a whole has become much more mean without taking others feelings into consideration before speaking or typing.
I do believe sometimes things may come off a little more harsh on the internet. One may read something and take it a different way then it is intended to be. I know I have been in that situation even posting with friends on MSN or facebook. The truth is that nobody can hear the tone in your voice, it's all typing and reading. It's left for the imagination.
Being on here I've learned to just grow a tougher skin. I think before I post things and I am always ready for the rude comments. Usually I like to say IF YOU DON'T have nothing nice to say DON'T SAY IT. I have had to put that a few times because you always get those who judge or those who have something up their behind. LOL
I went on a bull terrier forum trying to learn about breeding and I was bashed so bad. When I posted on their about the possible accidental death of my beloved first yorkie they all called me stupid and what kind of idiot are you. People are very hurtful. Usually those people who are so hurtful thrive on putting people down. They put you down to bring themselves up.
Just to add here. I know some of the members who posted in your thread are not mean people. They are very well educated breeders that take much pride in the yorkie breed. Dogs can't speak so sometimes they advocate for them, it may come off mean but really it is all in good faith. You wouldn't believe how many weirdos come on here.
