I honestly feel there is a difference in bluntness and being downright mean. I personally would rather someone be blunt and easy to understand with me whether it hurts my feelings a little or not than to cloak it all in kindness so much that its hard to ferret it all out. I am a firm believer in treating others as I would like to be treated but I like all of you am human and have my faults. There are some new people who come here and it seems they really don't want advise, they just want a pat on the back and someone to agree with their practices. When it comes to yorkies or any other breed that we join a forum on I think we also need to know that people feel very strongly about their babies or they would not be members here. I have posted before on this same topic and I do agree with politeness and above all honesty. I think just as in real life there are going to be those who push our buttons a little more than others. |
