It must take a long, long, long, long time to write a post like that when the emotions are yanking at you, not just for that dog/litter but for all the future little dogs that may be affected if nothing is said about why this should never happen again. Very often, if you do make the effort to educate without just the perfect words or tone, the OP gets defensive. The other members get defensive and attack you. Your job and those of members in the Sick/Injured Forum with a seemingly uncaring or heedless owner may be the hardest there are among YT members. I don't know how you humanly do it sans a halo and keep coming back. My hat is off to you. |
Articulated very well....thank you for having the acuity to envision the internal conflict some of us have, and then being able to express it so clearly. What often times is simply a sincere attempt to educate a poster, completely unspools the thread, especially if the poster is not looking for education on the subject, just wanting specific questions answered. The wonderful thing about this forum is that as long as adults maintain a sense of decorum, anyone can post their reply or their feelings on the subject, whatever they may be, whether the op approves of the message or not, again as long as the responses are respectful and are within the acceptable guidlines of YT. It is up to the poster to read and take away from responses, what they are interested in. Many of them do that with civility, while others, unfortunately, are offended and express their frustration and displeasure with YT. While "offending" responses may not help or impress a point appreciated by that particular poster, over time, there are multitudes of people, quietly "lurking" and reading and learning from any and all answers given.
