not sure what to title this... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Potter · 02-28-2008, 06:40 PM

I have been going through some posts lately..I sense that some (maybe just one or two) member in this forum are trying to offer their so wrong advice to newer members who do not know anything and asking for advices. My fear is what if someone really think it is okay to do so without knowing it is not. I can't stand thinking of it happening! 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!

if i disagree with a response i always post my feelings.

4doggiemama · 02-28-2008, 06:45 PM

Yikes! Hope it's not me. I don't claim to know much but once in awhile I will say something. Man, if it is me, please, please let me know. Certainly don't want to cause anyone harm.

If you see something you don't agree with don't hesitate to post your information, just do so in a civil manner.

From my experience here, if the information someone provides in incorrect, another member is usually quick to point out the error.

I agree, please if you have a different point of view, and do not agree, there is nothing wrong with posting your feelings, thats what open forums are here for, Everyone is intitled to there opinon...

I try not to give information on subjects I don't know about but if someone posts something that I don't agree with I just try to post my experiences and try not to make it sound argumentative.

nikkinack · 02-28-2008, 06:57 PM

you could always pm them and say it in a nice way.

Potter · 02-28-2008, 07:05 PM

I don't think I will PM this person. I am not a confrontational type of person. I think she will get in to trouble on this yorkie lover forum sooner or later because of what she is doing. I will just keep watch and do so in a civil manner.

Knockz · 02-28-2008, 07:33 PM

If it were me giving bad advice I would appreciate the correction. I only post on topics that I have experience in and something that may have worked for me may not be the best thing in somebody elses opinion.

If somebody has a question, giving them more than one option is sometimes a good thing.

As long as its posted in a nice tone I don't see much a problem. If you write something like "That was stupid advice" then expect to get some retaliation.

Apparently this is a bit different than our run-of-the-mill threads with several different opinions posted? I often see people offering completely different points of view. And most of the time, it's even done civilly.

jrincon17 · 02-28-2008, 07:39 PM

heck if you disagree , speak up. what are they going to ban you, or come beat you up. i like a little trouble

If the information they are giving out is incorrect then please correct them nicely. The last thing people need is bad advice that can potentially hurt their baby.

Beabble · 02-28-2008, 07:48 PM

I agree to disagree with people, lol. Keeps the pot from boiling over. Discuss it rationally and express your concern.

Ladymom · 02-28-2008, 07:58 PM

Lots of times there isn't one "right" answer, just different opinions on a subject. It's always good to share your opinion and give another perspective, especially if you've had experience with the issue. If it's done politely and respectfully, your input can be very helpful.

I agree 100% with this post. What works for me might not work for someone else.

It is always a good thing to have a lot of different ideas so that we can pick and choose what works best for each individual.
