| Bold, straight forward honesty is not the same as ridicule, insults, harassment, and condemnation, and should not be considered or misinterpreted as such..... I try to be careful when responding to qst/comments, but will admit I sometimes see 'red' and perhaps need to pause and take a deep breath before posting reply. I do, however, very much agree with Yorkiemom1 in that wearing kid gloves and molly-coddling (uh-oh, showing my age again) the super-sensitive types isn't going to help anyone---least of all, and most important, the canines. Personally, in my year or so of reading this site, I've seen very, very few--very, very harsh posts; and while I have read some rather scathing comments, those are usually in response to being 'attacked' by confused individual who inappropriately went on the offense and evidently needed simple easy-to-understand clarification (redundant, yes, but part of my point). |

| OOOOOHHHHHHH!! Just read your reply, Wylie's Mom. I'm with you all the way. It was a very good post and a good reminder, but geez, sometimes it's hard to be good! I think maybe you should run for President, because you have way of making everything alright. Thank you so much, again and always! |

Of course, it will all continue as is anyway because it is the nature of online forums.

It happens here with words that are typed! People read and take what they want from it ... and then swear that their interpretation is gospel. There are many ways to say one thing.....I think that it matters not how some of say things, because if it is honesty that someone does not wish to hear, we will be leaped on no matter how we say it. Not saying that is true in all cases, but in many. I cannot even begin to imagine how many complaints you and admin must wade through. All for a non paying job. EEK

| As a really excited new member I agree with this type of behavior not being allowed. We all love our babies and are just looking for support on how to be the best parents we can be to them. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | What a wonderful post and obviously much needed! The fact that this topic even has to be addressed among adults is completely absurd to me. Like teaching compassion, mannerisms and filter. I have been a member for just a short time now and absolutely love the topics, interaction and site as a fun & most helpful resource to me. Our fur babies are like our children, they eat with us, sleep with us, go on vacation with us, completely interact and completely involved in our every day lives. I see posts where pet owners are completely beside themselves with grief and fear over there fur babies health and come with questions, concern, participation and feedback not attack. It all has to do with delivery, not sparing someone's feelings to the truth but as a human being having compassion, tact and yes sometimes filtering your response. it makes newbies such as myself not even want to participate but why exclude myself from such a wonderful sight for someone's poor behavior. I commend your addressing this issue, but somethings just cannot be taught |

I feel badly that someone looking for help or to vent or anything would be made to feel this way, so if they read this I share my favorite Coco Channel quote that I refer to whenever I've been made to feel this way in life "I don't care what you think about me, I don't even think about you". I think there's so many wonderful, helpful sweethearts here, don't let a few stinky apples discourage you. And please don't let them chase you away, the more yorkies the merrier! | |
