You seemed to think, if anyone says anything negative they are bashing Tinies. People just want other people to make INFORMED choices.
As far as rehashing the issue, I learned a lot from this thread; I understand more now about why someone wants the Ultra Tiny, and now realize there are other reasons besides them being a status symbol. For example, as some of you have mentioned the maternal instinct an ultra tiny can satisfy. You also must remember, many people read these threads and are not even members of Yorkietalk, they are just looking for information. In addition, there are new members everyday. If I can help influence a new purchaser of a Yorkie to look into the reasons why he wants an ultra small Yorkie then I feel I've done my job, again informed choices.
What I really hope to influence are those people who think other people are jealous of them every time they hear something negative. It's like the person won't have to consider what the other person is saying because they can just attribute it to jealousy and then discard the information. I think the members of Yorkietalk show everyday that they are not jealous. The praise, love, and support they show each other is considerable. So please when you think someone one is hating (slang term) jealous, please consider the other alternative, they might just have a different opinion and you can't handle it.

If a dog is tiny or large it is the right of that owner to have it and all that that intels. Just like large yorkie owners get offended by people making unkind comments so do small ones when people wonder why we would ever get such a small dog. So what's good for the goose is not good for the gander??? Obviously my responses are not being read clearly. This was not about giving someone an educational lesson to point out the good and bad faults, it was wondering why would you get a dog that has all these faults and problems and the fact they have become so popular.
As far as jealously (may have spelled that wrong) I can seriously go back and pull some threads where people have said somethings about there large dogs vs anothers small that shows disappointment and touches of envy at how there dogs turned out, I AM NOT SAYING THEY DON'T STILL LOVE THIER DOG TO DEATH, so don't misquote me (in general). To educate someone is paramount to the success of any breed. I will do that as someone did it for me. If someone was inquiring about it I would be honest and upfront on the pros and cons. But I won't do it if someone is insulting a large or smalll yorkie. Someone once said Jaxson looked like a rat because he was so small. It took everything in me not to curse them out like they weren't a Child of God! I had to realize that that was ignorance and kindly but dead seriously told them I would not be driving a rat around in my car.
Another point I would like to make is these post are not made by newbies you know. If someone was new here and asked these questions it maybe different. Anyway to each his own. Whether or not we disagree on a topic today and stand together on another one tomorrow I hold no ill feelings towards anyone and I will continue to add my 2 cents to serious discussions or issues on this board with the best for all Yorkies in my heart.
