Everyone: can we TURN UP the COMPASSION here?

[Ringo1]

I agree that we need to let the people that have left - go. Forget about them and concentrate on our own forum. That forum that is supposed to be so 'positive' really is not. So . . let's just do what we do best - help the dogs by helping their owners. And, yes, we can all take a look at our posting style - myself included.

YT is so great about helping others - a helping hand is always ready and willing even if the tone is not always what one would like. Even if one gets bashed in the breeder forum - they still hand out their phone numbers for someone really in need.

And for all the drama complaints, those threads are the ones that get the most response! I see it on all internet forums . . not just YT.

Sometimes they do get old and sometimes, they are just more interesting. Perhaps there is a happy medium we can reach.

I still love YT!

Exactly!

And there's no doubt in my mind that YT will be around for however long Admin wants it to be - which I hope is for a long, long time.

This place has so much to offer and all of the information and friendships are being overshadowed by the egoes of a few.

I'm hoping everyone on this board can stop and consider whether it is possible for them to be more compassionate to their fellow members.

You don’t have to love everyone. You don’t have to like everyone. You don’t have to like anyone, for that matter. But we do ask that you be respectful…that you try to be compassionate.

None of us have walked in anyone else’s shoes but our own, as far as I know. So until one of us has that capability, let’s not pretend we are overly fit to judge.

Words hurt people. Insinuations can hurt just as much as words. Before you post something…think of how you would feel if it was posted to YOU.

We don’t have to gush over each other (although it is welcome ), we don’t have to be fakey-nicey. You don’t have to be a Pollyanna. But please, do remember that every action, kind or otherwise, has consequences – in some way or another.

Thanks for reading this and for making YT such a wonderful place!

Amen and if that does not work the ignore button does if someone is upsetting you use it. I have and it has made thing her much more pleasent.

Yes, ignore can be a best friend!

Or it can be totally confusing! I had someone on ignore once and I could not ever tell what everyone was talking about! I missed an entire thread because they were the only one responding to everything! Lol!

Considering the amount of YTmembers and YTthreads going on here...the few hiccup threads here & there are unfortunate but still "few" when you think about it.

So, how do you "ignore" someone and what happens if you do? I have never considered it, but I'd like to know how it works, LOL

[hartygirl]

It really is just a few, so YT continues to be a great place to come and to learn.

The people that log off YT and continue to put the learning practices to work are the real winners here, the others that log off and try to create ways to cause havoc are something else completely.

There is an ignore button, it prevents you from seeing what the "ignored" person has posted. You can still see it if someone quotes them though.

I don't use it anymore, I grew up and just don't take things personally anymore.

Seems like that isn't very positive, is it?

Sooner people decide to move on the better. If you keep letting drama from "faceless" internet people whom you may never meet get in the way of enjoying a forum created for the dogs, not the people...
. . .well then shame on you, right?
