Great post...

I know I have left YT and only come in to check my PM's from found friendships here and to post rarely anymore. I have found some members have very strong opinions and they really don't care who they hurt to express them...

Maybe in the future I will be back on a regular basis, but for now I rather not.

I would still like to thank all the moderators and Admin for trying to keep everything fun loving...

JWebb · 02-09-2006, 09:15 PM

Kimberlly, first of all let me say thank you so much for everything you do for us YT folks. I am new to this forum as well and it has been heaven sent to me. I have really depended on YT in the last couple of weeks with my Cricket. Unfortunally she is one of those "tinies" that just happened in her litter. Her mom and dad were small but certainly not like her. Anyway I have had an issue with her and everyone has given me hope and encouragement. I don't know if we can pull Cricket through this but I will always be grateful for YT. I have learned so much and know much more than before I found this site. I too learned quickly that "tiny" or "teacup" can cause some discussions but when you have tiny you still have to raise them and give the best you can. After everything I have been through with Cricket I would do it all over again and yes I still love the little ones. I have owned a 4 pounder before and lost him to old age. Cricket may be little but she has the heart and determination of a lion. I took everyone's comments about tiny as information and not necessarily to make me feel bad.

Once, again thank you for giving us scared mommies someone to talk to and a place to share our love for them.

: Thanks for the reminder. It does seem like that's going on a lot any more. Some one will ask a question and someone will come back with some thing rude. or some thing that has nothing to do with what they asked. And I can see that some of the new ones may be afraid to ask a question .......It seems like the get the 3rd degree.and never really get an answer to their question. and that's not right.

We are suppose to learn and help each other out. :thumbup

AsCeNsIoN · 02-10-2006, 12:51 AM

I know I'm one of the "know nothing and ask lotsa dumb questions bunch". I'd like to just say thanks for being patient with me. If anyone was rude to me personally, I missed it, and I'm glad I did. I'm sure everyone was a first time yorkie owner at one point. It's good to know that some of the older members in here REMEMBER THAT

P.S

Yorkie Talk Rules!!

I was glad to see this thread to because Im sure Im not the only person who has seen a new peron post and thought "poor thing,she is gonna be SO punced on for that!".Its not fair and I HATE to see this which is why Iv been quite an angry poster up until now.
This is supposed to be an educational forum,we arent supposed to point our fingers at someone just because they want to breed etc or because they ask questions that some members seem to think we should ALL know the awnsers too.
We arent here to JUDGE anyone,neither are we here to point fingers or give someone the third degree..we are ALL here for the same reasons,we all have yorkies and want to learn.If some one comes on and asks how they should go about breeding,then lets just awnser and leave it at that..if someone wants to not spay or neuter,then thats fine,explain the downside but dont make it look like this persons yorkie is already dying (I have seen this)..etc etc Its all about limiting your self to awnsering the question that has been asked,plain and simple.
No one wants to inocently post a question and come back to find she or he is being called an iresponsable fool or see that an argument has started.
Im totally against deleting posts and freezing threads,I honestly think it makes peoples blood boil and worsens a situation because after a thread is frozen,sub threads are started,the pm section enters meltdown and the situation gets worse...but threads wouldent have to be frozen or deleted if there was more tolerance,respect and a little sense of humor.
Im getting down from my soap box...Iv said what I wanted to say after two years!!!

I feel ALOT better now

Thanks, Kimberly!! I know we do seem unappreciative sometimes but we really, really do love & appreciate those of you who make this forum so wonderful!!

devotedtoyou · 02-10-2006, 03:46 AM

I also am a member who was attacked about a year ago. I was really hurt by it. I decided to stay, but that's unusual for me,,,,,usually I would have RUN. We weren't all born breeders of yorkies and know it all, so here we are. It's not very hard to just be a kind person.

Lissie · 02-10-2006, 05:23 AM

Thank You Mods!

lol...I wish missed it.......yesterday I admitted to replying to a rude post....when I should have just reported it and kept my mouth shut.

I just want to say that sometimes we DO get overly involved ...and in retrospect... it's pretty silly.

So this is a good reminder that some things just need to be left alone....As someone who's spent too much time on this site I guess it's easy to get sucked in to certain games being played... I wasn planning on not posting any more here - but changed my mind....from now on - I'm staying way clear of it....it's just not worth it when there are so many really nice people on here.

crystalsmom · 02-10-2006, 06:13 AM

I cheer all you moderators on yorkie talk for all you do to keep this site soemthing we
really enjoy. This was something that needed to be said and the mob mentality here
was getting to be just too much.

I hope people mean what they have posted and will continue to make Yorkie Talk what
it really was meant to be.

kara · 02-10-2006, 07:07 AM

Thank you so much for saying what has needed to be said for a long time. I have found myself spending less and less time on YT because of these issues, and that has made me very sad and disappointed. Logging on YT used to be one of the funnest parts of my day, I used to get so excited and I used to be so proud of YT and everything that I learned as well as everything that I could share with others. I hope that I can soon feel that way again.
Your job as a moderator is very tuff. Thank you for all you do.

Sugar's Mom · 02-10-2006, 07:09 AM

i am glad someone with authority actually posted what has been on many minds recently. Can we make it a sticky? Thanks for posting this.

Good reminder!

Thank you for posting this.

Yorkieluv · 02-10-2006, 07:18 AM

Thanks for the great reminder!! You moderators do so much for this forum, and it is very appreciated. You're right, we need to make new members more comfortable here and teach them all we can...After all, if we upset them and make them leave, maybe they won't learn the things they should know about raising a yorkie
