I just think it gets silly when one of us gets a little off topic on something and we are told our posts will be deleted... :warning: Now I'm not talking about taking one thread to a completely different level, I'm just talking about our little chit chat back and forths which makes it so much more fun when we are discussing anything in paticular :rollingey anyone for some chocolate? :dribble:

I was really thinking of leaving yt for good. I started the thread for older dogs and
I am going to stay with it and even though this has taken the fun out of it for alot
of us, I am staying.

If anyone wants to add other reasons this should be bumped have at it!!! :heart to :lovewings

I am so glad that there appears to be some good "reflection" taking place in this thread.

IMO it is not all of a sudden that people are sensitive.....it is not about being overly sensitive in fact. It is about being kind and open minded and knowing how to get a point across w/o appearing overly harsh. There are many here who are good at this.....there are some who are not. It is not about winning or who is on your side or who agrees with you or whether you have 10,000 posts or 5.

It's about being sensitive enough to others to post in a positive instead of a negative way. even if your opinion is different, or you have something t educate about.

I think there are now more members who are willing to finally speak up and call some members out who have always posted in a rather "rude, arrogant, knowitall, my way or the hiway, only my opinion counts" kind of way.

This is not about breeders either...it happens in all areas of the board and on a lot of controversial and even non controversial topics.

People are not standing for it any more and I, for one, am so glad. I think this board can be an even better forum than it already is if we all start remembering that EVERYONE's opinion counts, everyone has value, it is not nice to ridicule or unfairly judge and it is always better to say something nice than to make fun of someone or say something mean.

Okay Irene...My wholepost was about being "positive".....I got really excited for a minute when I thought some of the members and the moderators concerns were being addressed here.....I really want things to get better.......I thought Simonandhallie's repost of your OP was right in line with the topic as you stated it as was mine.

I was responding to Posts 55-59. Was what I posted not in line with those? :confused:
