The FAQS section very openly states (this is paraphrased) that if you cannot post a response that helps the person who posted questions, then do not post.
I believe that most of you in the breeder's section who have posted here have superiority complexes and no one will ever be good enough, ever...
Anyone who is actually willing to help as I have requested, feel free to PM me.  Otherwise, move on. |
Please allow me to step in and clarify a few things for you. First though, I want to welcome you to YorkieTalk
. I edited your post so that I could focus my reply on things that need clarification.
As far as the YT FAQs you mentioned, let me clarify that it does *not* state that members must "post a response which helps the person, otherwise do not post". A member's response could be helpful whether or not they agree with your actions - all members are welcome to post on any thread, whether or not they agree with your actions. If we asked people to only post if "helpful"...where would that leave room for discussion, debate, opinions, and a real "forum" - which is what YT is, by definition. We can't define what is "helpful" or not; what is "not helpful" today, may be incredibly helpful down the line (to both the original poster and/or to anyone reading).
I suppose in life that there are indeed some folks who have superiority complexes. Sure, I've seen it here at YT - there is no section immune to this occasional experience. I also see it in real life. I don't really see it in your thread; I see people sharing their opinions and experiences. What if some people here are viewing you as having a superiority complex? Does that make it true? My point is, if you think any member is acting 'superior' - oh well; to use your words: move on.
Lastly, you mentioned in a few of your posts that you were not given the kind of support you specifically wanted. Again, we don't ask that members offer support according to the poster's request. Also, PLEASE REMEMBER - that YT is a dog forum, and more specifically, a YORKIE forum. Therefore, members here will also give their opinions in support of the YORKIE, and the situation the yorkie may be in. You will also see lots of passion regarding breeding beliefs - and the spectrum of those beliefs is allowed here.

You all chose to write something on my post, but you had the choice to not write and allow someone who is willing to help me with my requests and leave your negativity out. Feel free to delete your posts. |
No member can dictate who may and may not reply, and under what circumstances they may reply. On that note, we don't dictate what is relevant or not; we may intervene if a thread is going completely off topic. However, the replies in this thread are definitely relevant.
Btw, members cannot delete their posts; what is said here is permanent unless there is a need for a Mod or Admin to intervene.

Calling YT members vultures isn't (to use your words) gentle or supportive. You're asking people to behave a certain way (as defined by you), but then not exactly walking the walk yourself. I mention this only because I'm a firm believer in that you can't have it both ways.

I'd mention here that it may be wise to keep your pups longer, and spay/neuter them before they leave your care. Some would say that breeding chocolates may result in devastating health consequences, as I'm sure you're already aware of.
In conclusion, I hope you have the passion to stick around YT - despite the fact that opinions differ, and sometimes things get heated. Like you, we all love our dogs SO very much - and deep abiding love will often illicit a lot of passion...not really a bad thing, ya know? We all can learn and better ourselves from passionate interactions - even if/when those interactions sting a little (I've been stung plenty, btw, and I know it can hurt...but don't let your emotions/reactions get the best of who you really are
).
