the original OP of this thread private messaged me and told me for now on shes just going to be a LURKER, not a poster. that she debated back and forth with herself before even posting this thread because she feared this kind of reaction to her, but in the end thought it important to find out what the risk were. People are often AFRAID to post. is that what YT is suppose to be about? Is that what you want or the others?

I have some friends on facebook who I met here on YT then later added to facebook that now refuse to come back to YT for the very reasons I have stated and more that I havnt. Is that what YT wants? I dont think it is.YT is suppose to be about helping people and more importantly, the dogs. I dont think having people be afraid to post and running away is what we want here, or not suppose to. How is that helping the dogs or people?

People need to understand that alot of people who come here first of all already have dogs, regardless of how they got them, and the average person is not as well if at all knowledged about how to choose a good breeder, or what a back yard breeder is, ect. the average person doesnt even think to find out about that stuff before going to look for a pup, its not until AFTER they get them and come to a place like this that they even learn about that stuff. That doesnt make them bad people, just ignorant on such things and thats not necessarily their fault. some havnt even heard of puppy mills. Ganted I find it hard to understand how people dont know about Puppy Mills in this day of age, some dont. By the time they come here, they already have the dog. so are we going to chance them off, or are we going to help them as best we can. I for one would prefer to help.

I dont doubt that it is very possible that people dont think of any of the dogs as being CRAP DOGS, but my point is, the way some people come across, that is how you make people feel. One of my friends on facebook use to come here and stopped because one of many reasons was she was made to feel like because her dog was not full yorkie but a mix breed, she was a bad person and her dog was insignificant here. Obviously this isnt something im just making up, I have spoken to people that have told me thats how they are made to feel here. Are we all making it up?

For crying out loud, for the umpteenth time if you don't like something report it, whining and crying and preaching and rolling out the words to paragraphs on a forum is really so time consuming...you keep saying a lot of people well a lot of people feel opposite to you, who and what you do behind the scenes and talk about is your business, if you don't like something just report it and stop trying to police people, you and those who think that way are trying to drive others off the board, in my humble opinion. There are many many people on this board and many many different personalities and these types of things have been going on since the beginning of YT...again, I say POST AND LET POST....But strangely there are always many many many people here....I'm not being condescending or judgemental, I'm just saying enough. Peace!!
