Personally - I find when people want to air their "dirty laundry" in a public forum nothing gets accomplished except for building a long thread of posts of debates between those who do NOT know what is "going on under the surface", as you've said, or taking sides when we don't have a clue who is right or wrong. All our opinions mean nothing - we will all believe who we feel is right. At this point nothing we say or fingers we point will help this puppy which I think is really everyones main concern.
Sometimes I think all we do is fuel the fire - and maybe time better spent welcoming a newbie to this site, offering understanding and compassion to someone who's baby is sick or injured, or just enjoying each others stories and pictures of our babies. This is truly an amazing site full of caring people with a mountain of information and I for one am glad that when I came on here and have posted about concerns I was having with Bridget that there were those out there who had the time to help, and were not involved with a thread where no one wins.
Thanks for "listening", and hopefully I didn't make too many enemies here. |
You didn't make any enemies...
I just know when you have threads like this you have to understand this is how woman wage war...especially between breeders.
I will never forget a thread I read about how a breeder was ripping off a potential breeder. Everyone jumped in and said how awful it was until they found out it one of YT' very valued breeders and then she told her side of the story...Wow..very different.. Sides were drawn up and it got uglier and uglier. Then a lawyer jumped in, new websites were started and lawsuits were flying all over the place and friendships were ended. It was ugly and is still ugly as the lawyer has a website up about as cold hearted as I have ever seen..even after the breeder died. The lawyer is laughing about her death and says the breeder deserves to be in hell.
Given time you will start to be of the same belief as some members on YT..it is natural...but even then sometimes you will disagree...it is okay.
I have learned some people are here for the dogs, some are here to sell dogs and some are here just to hear themselves write.
