rudeness is not good (in any circumstances)

well - unless you know for sure someone is really posting to make you nuts - then my advise is ....take a valium

Remember - it's a dog site. A site for friends too but still - the internet. You're going to see all sorts of personalities.

I'm cheering behind you on this good advice!!!

I have been a member of this forum for a long time and have seen it at its best and worst and sometimes i felt there was more worst then best. I try to come back on every few months but it doesnt seem to ever change. first time i have been on here since i got to Iraq 2 months ago and this is the first post under general. This website will never change i think and everyone can say what they want but you have to have very thick skin to stick it out here.

That is sad that you feel so negative about the site. I feel that I learn even from the very controversial issues and heated debates.

I do not like to see personal attacks, but even then, I have been on the receiving end lof those attacks and have survived.

somtimes two members will just not see eye to eye on anything, they should just avoid each other.

But overall I think it is a very good site.

I give it an 8

Debra, I am so glad that you replied to my post 'cause you added many thoughts that I wish I had thought of at the time .

I have a couple of random thoughts on the subject that I would like to add --

1) Just because you have the right to say something (type something) saying(typing) that thing isn't necessarily the right thing to do.....

2) With rights come responsibilities -- we have the right to voice our opinion and the responsibility to voice that opinion in such a way that isn't offensive to others.

3) We have the right and responsibility to give advice and offer opinions when we feel like a Yorkie's life or well-being may be compromised.

I have always considered you giving some great advise. I agree with you and I would like to add that Yes everyone is intitled to their own opinion and sometimes when its voiced you must expect consequenses and not take it personal. After all, this is the internet and we have the control to turn it off or on anytime we wish.

I know that everyone complains about the drama.. but you have to admit, it is entertaining sometimes. I actually love reading a good drama. I'm not one that likes to be the cause but do look forward to coming back and reading page after page.. I think half the time it is over something so trivial, which just makes it all the better... heck, better than alot of what's on T.V..

You haven't been here for some of the really good stuff

Even if you don't agree with everything, most of the time you will still learn something. With the number of people yt has you are going to have heated issues from time to time. With all the posts on yt if you don't like one post move to the next

sometimes the stories are so outlandish they are hilarious. It's so obvious that the stories are fabrications

They deliberately come on looking for a battle. It would not be nice to dissappoint them.

Sometimes they are true. I know a few of you on here thought I was "fake" and making up stories when in fact it was all true, sometimes bigger things happen outside of your little world that you couldn't imagine.

Thanks guys! I have been busy with no time to get online. I have checked in a couple of times over the last 2 weeks but hard to keep up that way. Family visiting, homecoming week, and some medical issues.....hopefully things will slow down next week. But I am going to have to limit time at the computer due to this old back of mine. Still, got to make some time for YT -- I miss it when I don't get to check in too!
