To this forum does not mean they are ignorant, does not mean their OPINIONS have to be rudely put down, and it certainly doesn't mean that from a simple profile you can assume you know anything about them.

Ideas differ, opinions differ, and adults can discuss those differences respectfully. I am more than willing to do that. That said, if I am talked down to or insulted, I will return the favor. I am new to Yorkies (I'm actually getting a Biewer, but this is as close a community I could find), but I am not new to dogs by a very, very long shot. I do not appreciate being treated like a moron because of this.

I can handle difference of opinion, but I cannot sit back and let someone's ASSUMPTION of ignorance go unspoken. Just a PSA I think some of you may need. I do look forward to getting to know you all. I will not be treated like I'm an imbecile. Your opinion, or mine for that matter, is NEVER the only correct one.

Hope you all have a great night.
