  I agree.  Just because we have the right to say something doesn't mean it's the right thing to say.  And being "right" isn't necessarily right.   
Often we never truly know and understand what another poster is trying to express nor do we even try.  Instead of showing empathy we just react to our "feelings" about what we think we understand after reading a post.  In almost all conversations there is more than one right answer.  Each of us bases our conclusions on our life experiences, education, emotional status and maturity and not all of us are on the same levels.   
Our main goal here at YorkieTalk should have the best interests of our beloved Yorkies first and foremost.  If we can't communicate appropriately with other posters we can't expect our ideas and opinions to have a positive impact.
