I am so out of the loop...have no idea what the drama is, was or going to be. Of course then again, I am on a bit of meds that between my thyroid and the meds my memory is just about gone....hmmmm...so I hope I am never the one to start the drama.

The saying that opinions are just like a@@holes....everyone has one kind of suits here. Ha! :idontknow

Ditto. Might I add, if you see drama in a post and don't want to be included, then exit

:bravo:Exactly! And anyone who thinks YT has a lot of drama hasn't spent any time onother forums. YT has way less drama than most forums.


I think that is a perfect term- drama hunters. Some people will find drama anywhere and I can only assume they are looking for it. I had no idea anything had happened until this very thread. I still don't know what happened and I don't care. I am grateful that YT is, for the most part, a happy and helpful board. I can't believe some of the amazing, outrageous generosity I have seen here. I think it is sad that some people continue to look for the bad amongst so much good. You can always find negativity if you're on the lookout for it.

I totally agree. :thumbup:

This topic comes up entirely to often. It doesn't solve anything.

If anything, it just adds drama to the pot.

maybe just because there are so many members with dif. views,
...Thankheavens everyone on here is not like that, but it gets depressing when you do come on and find it still continues....
I used to post FUNNY THREADS on here for people to have a laugh over, and yet it's mostly the drama stuff that got the posts and feedback.

I too am a member of multiple forums like 4 i think :rolleyes: and ALL start out drama free but as more and more women gather (and a few guys :p) it adds up...because we are ALL so different and thats what makes it fun! I think if so many think there is so much drama here then why log in?????? I log onto the forums I enjoy, and I dont waste my time bashing them as its senseless ...Thats why there is drama, mindless posts beating a dead horse....IMO too much time on your hands if thats all you can think to do.

The reason we are all here is because we are passionate about dogs/yorkies. Passion breeds strong opinions and, boy, do we all have stong opinions. Ultimately, We choose whichs threads to post on. Some are obviously drama hunters and others are a little less obvious, but I feel if you'd rather not get involved, don't post. So many women, there's always gonna be drama!!

I have to post this and no it's not to cause Drama, but to make people realize that people are staying away from the forums for this very reason. Good people, newbies like me that may not have enough courage to forge ahead into sometimes shark infested waters...

Highland Yorkies...I agree with you. I joined in 2005 and lurked while I was looking for my yorkie. The negativity and drama made me stay away and almost afraid to post anything. Getting over that now though I'm trying to stay away from all drama and take everything with a grain of salt.

When you get down to it, every breeder and old timer on this forum thinks their way is the best and too many people contradict each other and you can never find just a simple basic answer.

Will I do the things that "everyone" recommends probably not. I'm a rebel. My pup is coming home before she's 12 weeks, I'm going to feed straight kibble with a treat here and there, will I take her to the vet for shots every year no, every 2-3 yes, every time she sneezes, no.

I understand every aspect of how much a dog costs and what vet bills run as I have talked to every vet in my area in order to make an informed decision.

Too many breeders on here need to get over themselves, they are not always right just as every newbie is not always wrong. That is the main problems with this forum They are quick to tell you what you are doing wrong and never get around to telling you what you are doing is right.

Take care and look for the people around here that steer clear of the drama while trying to make some friends that share the same interest, that's what I'm trying to do. I wouldn't be writing this now if it didn't hit too close to home for me.

I think that with any open public forum you will have differences of opinions and people handle and react to it in different ways. I do think YT and the staff here have tried to make it a safe place for us all to come and share our love,compasion,experiances, freindships and advice with eachother. However there are some that like to stir the pot so to speak and we have to try to stay positive and try to focus on the good. YT has been a wonderful place to come and i for one am happy it's here, I have made great friends learned important life saving things and had a great time here. Yes there have been bad times but the good out weighs the bad and there are tremendously amazing and caring people here:) Lets focus on the good and try to forget the bad.:)

well I agree with you about certain breeders, Not all by any means....I too was a lil overwhelmed at first. My post was not about breeders tho. So I apologize if it came off that way but i dont think thats what this thread is about. I could be wrong. I was talking about drama in general and that if you dont like it here why post??? This forum saved Diggy's life at one time becasue o posted and a TY'er reached out to me and guided me thru what my breeder failed to do and OF COURSE it happened on a weekend when no vet was around :rolleyes: Look past the drama, admin and mods of most sites do a good job of moving threads to the proper forums. Pictures, health, emergencies, etc rarely have drama and are so fun to look at! They have a lot of life saving info on them and you can figure out which ones tend to have it and which ones don't. I hope YT is as helpful to you as it has been to me. I have enjoyed myself here and i hope you have the same experiance. :p Hopefully we can all make a lot of wonderful friends and help each other out! Thats what it should be all about :)

I wanted to add, that shortly after I came on here Otis had an elevated BAT and was acting weird. Several YT members offered their time and knowledge to help me understand what my options were and calmed me down. I'm am eternally grateful to these people. Yorkietalk is a wealth of knowledge just by searching and reading through past threads. You can learn so much without posting on a single thread. That was the most important thing to me....was learning. I read, and read, and read and learned so much. Thats why YT is so important to me.

Am I bad for thinking that this site would be REALLY boring if there wasn't ANY drama?

I know, I know! I mean, I don't go looking for it...or starting it. But I'm not going to pretend I don't like stating my opinion and debating! It's part of my personailty!

PS - This site is NOT that bad. It used to be MUCH worse. Its really good now. There are so many people here willing to help. We go through bad periods, but those only last a few days and then its back to normal. We're like a family - we can argue without holding grudges and hating each other. At least, that's how I see it. There are WAYYY more positive posts than negative posts anymore.

HA imagine that we posted the same thing at the same time GO FIGURE now GET OUT OF MY HEAD SISTA SLEDGE

I love your posts Megan! Wise beyond your years as usual :)
