My Thoughts after a year of YT

[myteddybear]

Honestly I am glad this was posted. I have been here for quite a while and love to come here and read and learn. I don't however get too friendly with people because of exactly what this post is about. I do know that as well as coming to look up whatever information I have come for that I can count on seeing rudeness somewhere every time I log in.

Opinions can certainly be given with respect. Being rude about something you are passionate about will just make people shut out your opinions and suddenly you have done nothing to support your passion and quite possibly could have even pushed the poster in the opposite direction endagering the animal in question.

There are a few Ultimate YT-ers (I don't know names as I don't gossip, stalk or follow folks like that) but I do see them often, that are on here that make it their duty to constantly and consistently down talk, impose ideals on posts people make that have NOTHING to do with what was asked.

This statement in your post would could be construed as "down talk"
to call people or to perceive people as "Naive" is not really a good way to not except responses like you are receiving... and if you see all these post all the time, then you must find them interesting to keep reading, the same people, all the time to know who you consider the "Ultimate YT-ers" if you do not stalk or gossip, then how may I ask do you constantly see their post????

Hello to you too! LOL

I will answer your question while keeping the positive tone of this post.

I am able to see these posts because I'm reading them in general as the title does NOT reflect that there will be answers such as the one you posted.

In other words it can say: Help sick yorkie diarrhea - then the response is as I stated.

This is how I'm able to read all these things if I'm not following it. Hope that clarifies things for you.

I do not think what I posted was ugly, mean, or abusive... I quoted you and ask a question.. I think the word "Naive" was uncalled for..

I don't totally agree with your last statement and you are missing the true point of the post, however I respect your opinion.

I know to many that may seem PC but it is the truth. It's interesting how those getting on the end of the discussion now are more having the tone change.

I will not be at the computer for awhile and won't be able to respond to everything as I have been. I do hope this post stays upbeat and gentle.

I ask those that respond after this to please keep it as such. There is no need for typing to be abrupt or rude. It hasn't been thus far and this conversation has been going on for over an 1 hour now.

There will be some that don't read the whole thing and others that may need to re-read to get a feel for what has occurred and those that are stating the same things others have stated that I responded to - please read the previous posts and many of your "contradictory" statements will be addressed as Wylie's Mom - Moderator already stated along with others to me and I did my best to clarify.

So Happy Days!!!

You are welcome to read thru all my post, you will not find a mean or negative one, once again just ask a question... just to clarify things for you

Understood - yet, 2 things you did in "Web Posting" Red, and bold. All you were missing were caps. This is why I responded to you as I did.

I wasn't calling people Naive in the way in which you took it. Yet, I still respect your perspective and understand why you quoted what you did.

No worries.

A lot of people say that everyone is entitled to thier opinion, of course they are, I am just saying that they can certainly be given in a respectful manner and that if they aren't then people are scared away and the one to suffer will be the animal that would have benefitted form the information.

No turning of tone here, I think your points were well made and I totally respect the way you did it with a smile.

People usually are more receptive to education when it is given with kindness. Education and Support is the two major ingredients of YT.

**************************

I'm writing to correct the first part of my statement for this as I was just confused on what I just read with another post. So I apologize and appreciate the follow up.

The 2nd part of my response wasn't intended for this poster it was just so I wouldn't have to write another one to respond to the late comers. That is all.


Are we on the same page, y'all? GREAT! Love it!!! Yay and Thank ya'!

I agree.

Someone posted above: "I can count on seeing rudeness somewhere every time I log in."

Um...well...yeah, but one can also see:

Support
Kindness
Education
Joy
Happiness
Information sharing
Friendship
Compassion
Love
Advocacy
Community
Passion

WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON, HMMM?

Just read this quick, PLEASE:

One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that was going on inside himself.

He said, "My boy, the fight is between two wolves." That certainly got the boy's attention.

"One is evil," the old man continued. "Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego."

"What of the other, grandfather?" the boy asked.

"The other is good," he said. "Joy, Peace, Love, Hope, Serenity, Humility, Kindness, Benevolence, Empathy, Generosity, Truth, Compassion and Faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Do we all have such wolves fighting inside us, grandfather?"

"Yes," the wise old man said.

"Then, which wolf wins the fight?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Thank you, Ann. You saved me from racking my brain trying to figure out how to respond to this.

I couldn't agree more!

I forgot to thank YT member "Doodlebug" for recently reminding me of this Cherokee tale. It has always been one of my favorites, I just *love* it! It hits me just right. Anyway, Doodlebug sent it to me in December...and I really needed to hear it.
