Don't give up by any means, there are alot of good people here. its just that there are some rude ones also which you have to weed thru to find the good ones.

Why I hardly post, just read,hateful people say what they want with no punishment,nice people kicked off with no warning.Want to learn about my yorkie,get advice,notget involved with highschool behavior.Read rules before joining but different from ones posted on site,not being followed,confusing.

I was appalled also and it is this kind of thing that makes newbies afraid to even join and be part of the group. She was very nice to everyone even when she was being drilled by the select few. I couldnt believe people had the nerve to ask her how she acquired certain dogs like it was any of their business how she got them.

Yep and that why she didn't answer the rude comments alot of the time! My friend is a true lady staying polite even under the worst of attacks.

There are ways to educate without hurting anyone's feelings and if we were all PERFECT ... we wouldn't be here attempting to learn more. Sure, I could get turned off and leave YT altogether, but I have also learned that there are those here that will overlook the fact that you might not know what everyone thinks you should already know and then they take the time to educate you with open hearts and minds.
THIS is what I LOVE about YT and why I will stay and learn as much as possible.

Maybe this is the problem. Too many of us tend to CHANGE THE CHANNEL and let it happen instead of putting our foots down and letting people know when they have crossed the line between educating and being just plain hateful.

I sure don't like to get into these kinds of conversations but I have to say something about my own observations while doing my own research for a baby. I saw Natalies website a LONG time ago and were astounded at how beautiful each and every one of her yorkies were. I was at first blown away at the size of her yorkies that are breeders as well as her prices, but I also have been there many times and each time I have become more and more a Natalie fan. Her yorkies are beautiful and you can see that they are well cared for. I myself would not want to breed such tiny yorkies, but I guess I started feeling that she must REALLY know what she is doing because her babies look so healthy. After reading her posts here I have so much more respect for her. What a kind compassionate woman she seems to be. I know all things are not as they seem, but you can read in her posts how polite and compassionate and PASSIONATE she is about her babies. Natalie, I hope you stick around because I think you have a lot to offer this board. I am so sorry to hear all of the negative comments that were posted in your sale thread. Although I wouldn't breed such tiny babies myself, I respect you for your beliefs and for your dedication to your babies.

I never saw the post... But, it sure is getting outrageous these dayz. Infact, Im to a point where I could care less about any negative feedback that I get from this site or online period!!! I mean, it is the INTERNET, right??? Dont get me wrong, it sucks for someone to have their feelings hurt... But she does know who she is and what she does, right??? So WHO CARES about someone else's opinion online....especially someone(s) that one has never and will never meet??? You'll have to forgive me for being a little blunt, but more and more people are getting seriously offended by some of the feedback they get online and I just dont understand it

I get online to network with others who love their pups as much as I do... And quite frankly, Im not on here for negative people or "haters" as I like to call em'... To play into some else's ignorance is something I just wont do... So I dont pay em' any mind and I think thats pretty much all we can do.....

I mean, to get so upset about it only lets them know they've gotten the best of you.....

I can tell you why no one speaks up. Because to do so, to speak against a "regular" here, will get you flamed and ostracized. Then that person that you spoke against doesn't get even a slap on the wrist around here. That's why. I've seen it happen on this board, and MANY others

I just try to stay outta crap like that, got NO time for it!

I agree with this. I've seen it a lot too. It is a shame.

I have to say I've seen this also....I don't post as much as I used to.... sometimes it's like walking on egg shells wondering if I worded everything perfectly, I usually just delete my post and say forget it....there does seem to be an agreement that "those few" are making it hard for people to post on here....

LunasMomma · 01-02-2008, 03:35 PM

I was even hesitant to post that, that is how bad it's become

That's why we all need to speak up and make sure no one is being attacked here!
