I wholeheartedly agree that moderators deserve the right to their own opinion ON ANY issue, but it is highly out of the ordinary to argue with the same people you are deleting, admonishing and closing their threads. It becomes very difficult to see where the "edict of the moderator" stops and "personal opinion" starts. I apprecate that Wylie's Mom owning a tri-color dog herself, makes for a difficult predictment. Perhaps someone else could exercise moderator powers in threads where one moderator wants to engage in debate?? Just asking and again, just my opinion and suggestion -- not in any way saying I would not accept what already is in place. Just throwing an idea out for consideration.

Did I read this right? You are calling Ann unethical? The woman who bends over backwards and works harder than any of us can imagine to be as fair and impartial as possible to EVERYONE here?

What you've read into Ann's post and assumed here leaves me speechless. As do your disparaging remarks. My respect for a few people has taken a hard hit today.

Ann posted in answer to two previous questions that had been asked on this thread. And she expressed her disappointment in the inability to come together and discuss tri-colored yorkies calmly and rationally. She was not at all argumentative and she in no way tried to force her opinions on others as many here have tried to do. Even though she may personally disagree with your opinions she has not closed this thread - it is still OPEN. That fact alone shows me that Ann has not abused her Moderator position in any way.

I am beyond words here. And very saddened.
