YT 1000 Club Member | Enough already!!!!!!!! Okay people, This really has got to stop. I can't stand to see all this dissension . With over 42,000 people on this forum there is no way we are all going to agree on any one thing. If that was the case then yes the world would be a better place, but hey it isn't. We are all dealt the hands we are given and sometimes we have to help someone along. Yes some may take what we say as rude, condescending, or us being know it alls. We are only trying to help. There are alot of us that care more about our animals than others, some of us are trying to learn how to show, breed, and make sure we don't make mistakes and yes there are some who do have oops moments. Of course there are some that make you want to scream. But it all comes back to helping, teaching, and learning. If you post advice that someone thinks is rude don't argue with them just walk away (so to speak). I think this is a great forum but it would be even better without all the melodrama.

| Exactly what i was saying in a previous thread:thumbup : I'm pretty new to YT and every single thread I open up somebody is complaining about another person's advice or opinion being to harsh or out of line. I dont see what the problem is. People come here for advice whether good or bad nice or "mean". Hopefully we are adults here and can consider the fact that people are gonna have opinions whether we like it or not. People spend too much tme worryng about how the person responded and not the informaton in the responses. I have yet come across an "out of line" response to a question just honest heart felt opinions. Some things you just cant take to heart and think that they are attacks. If it was verbally said i'm pretty sure it wouldnt come off as harsh or out of line, it would just be two or more people having a discusson or debate about some thing that touches them deeply. Take what you can out of the answers to the question people ask. Nobody says you have to agree with what is being said but we are entitled to our opinions. The reason for this forum (at least that's what I thought) was information, opinions and what you can learn from others experiences whether negative or positive. It's not about who's better than who or the competition, it's about the knowledge whether good/bad. Take what you can out of all the answers. If everyone agreed with each other this forum wouldnt be interested and there would be no growth in the knowledge you can get from here. Stop all this complaining and get to the real deal which is the fact that people are gonna have opinions. Agree to disagree. I wonder what the Yorkies are thinking about this nonsense. P.S. Dont take this as an "out of line" comment, it's surely out of good faith

| What a boring forum if we all agreed on everything. Different opinions are what make us individuals, discussions and debates is how we learn. People just need to learn to be respectful. That being said, I have seen threads on here where someone comes asking for advise, but then they don't like the advice that is given, even when it is given in a very respectful manner. Like my 3 pound month old female was accidently bred by my neighbors 20 pound male. She is due anyday now, what should I do I, can't afford a C section Whn you have been around a while, you will begin to understand. Last edited by JeanieK; 09-29-2009 at 04:34 PM. |

When you come onto a forum and ask advice, expect to get opinions; some you may like, some you may not. It is the nature of the beast. | |

| It gets so old when all the drama starts. I love this forum and it is a great source for all yorkie lovers new and experienced, we should all try to be civil.

I know what you meant about those and sure some don't like the advice they are given because they are looking for a quick fix to the problem. In the meantime though, those of us trying to learn about showing and breeding and proper care are afraid to ask any questions for fear of being categorized into these same situations. Like me for instance I had a girl that cycled regularly like clockwork . Now I have one who seems to start to go in, the boys get interested, then she stops. It's frustrating as all heck but I don't ask because of all the drama going on. Anyway I know this would be a boring forum if everyone were nice.

You just have to ignore those people. As for your question. I have heard of split cycles, you might want to research that. | |

| We learn from reading different views from our own. I love debates -- what I don't like is the condesending tone that some members take because in their opinion they are an "expert" in a certain area. I have read post after post from certain members stating that they are "entitled" to post their opinions and they don't care whether it hurts feelings or not. Each and every member here has valuable information to share -- and we can all learn from each other. Newbies and oldies alike who find themselves in a crisis situation and ask for help -- they NEED help -- not snide remarks. Whether or not they choose to follow our advice is their perogative, but most people are not willing to listen to criticism when they are reaching out for help. Some people are just ignorant (uneducted) and others are just plain stupid. We can help to educate the ignorant members by gently educating them. BUT why is it necessary to bring YT down to the level of just plain stupid by arguing? I am always amazed at the patience and fairness of Admin and the Moderators. It is up to each and every member to help combat the rude and abrasive members by ignoring and refusing to engage in arguments and by reporting members and posts using the report button and through pms. Each time we reply to "one of those threads" instead of reporting them we become part of the problem. |
