I don't mind people disagreeing with me. And - at times - thoughtful responses have caused me to change mind about different things.
I'd rather people come aboard and say what they think - (and be willing to listen and consider other options) - than reply with something like -- "I know I may just be thin skinned, but I feel that you are all mean and picking on me, and I'm going to quit this forum and never never post here again!!!"
Sometimes - posts do get "jumped on a little" and a lot of people do disagree with some things. But - what the heck! In this instance, instead of feeling sorry for yourself, I think people should just gracefully bow out and go onto a new topic and enjoy themselves. This is not a "life or death" forum. It's just a bunch of people who have and love their Yorkies and like to ask questions and share information.
I think there is very little contention and few arguments considering the number of people who visit here.
**** I appreciate people identifying themselves as being a new poster. And - I wish that young people would let us know that they are very young also. I would certainly respond to a child differently than I would to an old bat Yorkie owner like myself who has owned dogs for a hundred years. Wouldn't you?
We should say what we think - be respectful of other people's ideas - and not get upset when people disagree with us.
