I think what bothers me the most is when an op ask a question and a part of the question become a major debate with a lot of negative coming down on the op.
Sometimes the original question is even totally lost - for example an op asked why her pup's hair was sparse and the post turned to the fact she got a pup from a byb .. I can think of many more.

I also am a bit tired of the "debate" over small (say the 3 pounders) vs the over standard size. Why is it ok to brag you have a big dog (happy for you.. love the dog) but you are attacked if you have a small dog.. heaven help you if you say you want a small dog...aren't both out of standard ? Of course I am not talking about the tiny ting unhealthy dogs.. just a normal small yorkie.
Oh... heaven can't help you if you want to breed...or if you want a parti.

I also think sometime a member is "ganged" upon.. but it seams to workout somehow. I have seen when someone post a comment on a thread and everyone "agrees" .... but I wonder if they really read the post. One time I had some one post something negative that was misquoted and taken out of content... and there were a bunch of I really don't think the following group really read the post.

Saying that, after being on for a year I realize seeing people make the same mistakes can drive you crazy!! I think some members come on a bit too strong because they have been there so many times.. and the sugar coating just doesn't work for them anymore. I think they don't mean to be rude or sound harsh. If you notice most of their post they are kind caring people.

I would rather have people who have passion and maybe step on a few toes than a bunch of sheep I have learned a lot about Yorkies and have changed my opinion about a lot (for example... I had thought of breeding my female... now I know I will not... maybe in the future when I know a lot and have a mentor I will breed.. but not now). And yes, I do get annoyed when someone ask me if Remy is a tcup.. (now she is a piggy -- 4.5 lbs-- so maybe they won't ask anymore lol)

All in all .... I love this site and I love the people

I agree with this. I cannot COUNT the number of times that I have heard or read" I would NEVER want a dog THAT small" (said looking down nose)! What if I were to say to a teapot owner " oh I HATE big Yorkies No way would I ever want to own one of THOSE ~ they are WAAAAYYY to BIG"

People just have double standards. I understand why the stand is made in certain situations but ALL of us with tinys don't deserve to be be told that our dogs are less than because they are small IMHO
