Your right. I don't want to be banned because I check in here every day

I think it'll be hard not to be able to log-in for a day. I already spoke up...very very nicely indeed.

I know how you feel... I've noticed some pretty bad advice being given before as well (and I think it goes beyond opinion...). I always worry that it will result in a puppy/dog being harmed and/or heartache for a family. I usually make sure I post my thoughts if I disagree

I post my thoughts if I disagree but I'm sure everybody knows that by now.

If you think bad advice has been given for whatever reason, then give different advice with plenty of references.

I hope I don't get in to trouble posting this but I am on the verge of not being able to hold my tongue on the person anymore and I am not usually like that! In fact, this is my first time on YT!

i know what you mean. I sometimes have to grit my teeth and sit on my fingers.

I haven't been on Yt very long, but I have learned who gives practical, knowledgeable advice. Sometimes the tone of the post sends up red flags about the advice being given.

I appreciate beyond words the sound advice that I have garnered from YT.

If I feel I can make a difference or make someone think then I will post my opinion. I feel we have a responsibility to try and help these little ones.

I agree ...Definitely nudge gently whom has got your mind to rolling. It is better to be safe than sorry.. You do not wanna live with (IF I WOULD HAVE SAID THIS THEN THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE OCCURED)

I love constructive criticism... Quite frannkly I learn from it.....

It is all in the person and how they react to you speaking with them that will definitely show you what type of "PERSON" they really are.

Im a big girl I can take it

Best of Luck

I feel having different opinions is important to our society in general. I personally feel that in an open forum such as this it is extremely helpful to us all to see a variety of opinions, this allows us to see both sides and weigh our options and then choose what works best in our situation. What works for one of us may not be the right choice for another. I do agree it is not up to a few select people to shove their opinion down anothers throat, but at the same time they have a right to be passionate about their opinion. I guess what I am trying to say here is take it all in and make your own choices that best fits each individual situation. There in no right answer in this world that everyone will agree on! Life would be pretty dull and robotic of we all followed the same mold.

I think people are asking for opinions! If it don't sound right- or feel right- no one has to take that opinion!
I think if it is REALLY bad- I'd PM them in a nice way- and tell them what you know! Becuse to me it is about learning!!

My Baby- Jazzi · 02-29-2008, 06:47 AM

I am new to YT and try to tread lightly,however I would really want to know if I gave bad advice. Maybe the person you are talking about would accept a nice message. Now everone reading post are worried it might be them. Way to stir it up!

4gracealone · 02-29-2008, 08:21 AM

I am new here, and I personally would really appreciate a PM if someone is giving me bad advice.

So, if you ever see someone steering me on a dangerous path, please send me a PM and say so!

Also, if I ever give bad advice... PLEASE tell me. I would not want to give bad information to anyone!

Sometimes topics like this are best kept to PM's to avoid drama.
