I have to say reading the "On line Reality Drama's" has definitely been interesting - I find myself checking back to see where different threads are going....it's like a bunch of mini-drama's. I kind of feel like a "Peeping Tom" hovering and watching how they turn out. LOL

On a more serious note, What amazes me most is that people would never say half the mean things they do to each other on line if they were face to face and knowing that they may be hurting someones feelings. It's like they forget that there are real people on the other end of the keyboard. I like to call it Keyboard Muscles.

I's say every other week we have a real life drama thread on here. Sometimes 2 . Yes, they so become very charged up quicky. Sometimes, they are sad. They bring out all kinds of emotions in people. Our yorkie's are like our children and my gosh does it bring out the best/worst of us !

Yorkielove1 · 03-30-2009, 10:38 AM

I hear ya, a couple of weeks ago a neighbor of mine took a look at my little Sully and said I got "ripped off" cause he was "too big" to be a real Yorkie. It was like someone just called my kid a moron.

I got a lump in my throat, went in the house and called my vet, rechecked his puppy papers....and then after hubby calmed me down, we took Sully for a walk hoping he would dump a tootsie roll on her lawn.

The one thing about on-line drama is that you can just get up and walk away and come back later and catch up lol!! I just think so much expression is lost in type and you don't know what tone someone means it in. Plus alot of details are left out because it's too much to type.

I think a lot arguments happen, because we have different opinions about Yorkies and how to take care of them. People have to learn how to respect different people's opinions without getting upset MHO. Not everybody is going to agree with our own opinions. Different opinions sometimes cause arguments when we are passionate about the topic discuss. We all are passionate about something, and we have to learn how to disagree peacefully on opinions. When it gets heated on threads, I try my best not to respond before it gets out of hand. Sometimes post are not read how the poster intended them to be read which cause arguments. We are humans with emotions and sometimes they get in the way.
