Kimberley, I for one do not see you as a vulture
I enjoy reading your posts, and have a strong admiration for you. I understand completely where you are coming from. I am not much different from you, I pretty much say what is on my mind, and I can cope with constructive critisizm when I get it. I don't think that you or anyone else who TRULY cares about this forum are making anyone afraid to post. We all are VERY emotional when it comes to our beloved breed and it does come out in our posts at times. Some folks do need an eye opener at times IMO. My opinion on intentional breeding of tiny females is that it is just wrong and GREEDY.
At the same time I have to put myself in this person's shoes too. I had an extremely ACCIDENTAL breeding about 8 yrs ago with my small girl Chelsea, which I've posted about in the past. She became pregnant through the opening for the tail in her panties. I felt terrible, ashamed. But I learned from it and she and her babies ended up good in the end. I had her spayed during her c-sec and that all went well too. I'm the first to admit when I've made a mistake, and I don't see anything that you've ever said as causing others to be afraid to post.
Anyone who is willing to lay it out on the table should also be willing to accept the responses and opinions of others. I don't feel that being emotional and passionate about a paticular breed or practice is bashing.
I hope that Kandie and her babies are all doing well and I hope that her owner has maybe learned a little something here. I will be thinking about her and anxious to know about the outcome. Merry Christmas!
