People just need to be nicer to each other.

Funny how a car can be such a joy to ride while others are 'just a car'. I was a better driver in a vette than I am in the car I currently have

Honey...you would look good driving a Pinto...

We have also owned two vettes. The first one was a 85 coupe red on red. The current one is a 08 C-6 Convertable Jet Steam Blue. Neither one was a stick. However I did have a Fiat X-19 that was a stick that I have to learn how to drive. Also still own a 91 Mazda Miata. White and Black. That also is a stick.

Outright rudeness is wrong but differing opinions are what makes the world go round - what one may see as a 'bad' post - someone else may learn something

just something to think about

Drama...it is mild compared to some years ago..haha..but I agree with Vee..I will say each person has to figure out why they are here and what is their priority. If you are here just for friendship then yes you will see a lot of drama. If you are here for the dogs first then you will see a lot of passion and people fighting for the dogs. Strangely we have many members who really don't care about the dogs as much as others...Some of us get lucky and have both. I am always amazed at new members who come to YT and then try to start changing it ...

I am not meaning anyone in particular as all have different issues, but it's disheartening to read all this bickering.
Love you all, and wish all the best!!

I mean no disrespect and I am not aiming this reply to you individually but I really wish newbies would hold back on their criticism until they have been on here for a while. I think they would understand some of what is going on with certain members after reading as many posts as we older members have. I check the number of posts a member has when they make comments like this and in almost all of the cases they are new members. You haven't been a member long enough to understand the frustrations! If you have doubts about posts why not send a pm to the member in question and ask them about it instead of posting a critique of the people on the thread?
You might find, in a lot of cases, the person you are criticizing has seen way too many yorkies abused and mishandled to count. It is heartbreaking to see bad owners continue to ignore common sense suggestions and therefor extend the needless suffering of the dogs we all love so much! And that is at the bottom of all the messages posted on this board. Love----the love we feel for this breed of dog as well as other breeds. I'm here because these people are the only people I trust with my feelings about my little ones. They understand my feelings and hopefully I understand theirs.
OK sermon's over.

BamaFan121s · 06-15-2010, 06:06 AM

Right on Lou, right on.

I find that kind of thing far more distrubing than any snarky comment I could read. The way I see it is, if a snarky comment here and there upsets me that much, then I probably shouldn't be on the internet to begin with.

I used to cringe when I saw people flexing the 'senoririty on the forum' card, but now that I'm in those shoes, I understand it more and more. (It's akin to growing up and admitting that maybe your parents weren't half as stupid as you always gave them credit for.)

Hell no...I am calling your Dad & Mom right now and telling them what you admitted in print...Lordy...the heavens are opening up. It has always amazed me how people join a new group and then think they should start making changes. I think the first 6 months I was on YT I was just reading and trying to understand the players. I realize sometimes things can look a little "snarky" at first but if people would take the time to see other posts by the members maybe then they would understand who is in it for the dogs and who is in it for themselves....before they made posts.

You wouldn't dare....

(Besides, I only gave them credit for not being HALF as stupid as I thought....there is still that other HALF to contend with...)

This is the best on I have ever been on. I may not agree with everyone, and I do sometimes fly off the handle, but remember, you do not have to have dinner with me, socialize with me, or talk to me. However, I may just have a tiny bit of knowlege that you are looking for, or some past experience.

Seldon posting here does not resolve the issue that you are having. Well, that is my opinion, and my opinion and $1.90 will get you a Grande Coffee at Starbucks.

Amen, Brother. And I LOVE Starbucks, but it is so very for me to order -- I don't want a Grande or a Frappe, or a hootchie cootchie, all I want is a LARGE CUP OF COFFEE with extra cream (the real stuff), and 2 Stevias.

It is a neverending cycle -- things will be peaceful, then peaceful to the point of boring, and then the pot stirrers get started brewing trouble. Trouble takes a while to bubble out and cool down and then it's peaceful once again, only to get boring, and so the cycle begins again.

I've been gone for over a month and just came back yesterday to take a look at what is up and see how things are going and disgusted to read some of the threads! Same drama as before, definitely have not missed it!!
I feel much better not coming on here too and listening to the bickering and rude comments I used to get! I can say that Zach Lola and I are all HAPPY and healthy and doing great without yorkie talk and the drama on here. It's a shame because I love some of the people on here and it was very fun last year.

Oh yes I would....in fact I might post it on FB...and when you get to my age you will admit to the other Half..haha..

shodanusmc · 06-15-2010, 06:35 AM

What threads were you disguisted to read? Seriously, I am curious. Sure there are some disagreements. Show me a forum, or better yet, show me a family where there are none. Heck, if that were the case, I would not be talking to any of my family members. However, the kids realize now that I am a lot smarter now than when they were teenagers. Thats the great thing about a forum. You can come, ask, answer, interject your opinion, right or wrong, stay, leave, come back, make a friend, make an enemy. Regardless, if you are here to share and learn about Yorkies, dogs, life, whatever, its all here! If you ever want to know about Infantry, Artillery, supporting arms, fields of fire, final protective fires, or how the NVA and VC fought, all you have to do is ask. For more in-depth topics, I rely on my wife and those here.

Your age? Ok, how old are you?

chachi · 06-15-2010, 06:36 AM

I will never knock someone for being passionate or having an oposing opinion. Problem is there is some that not only state their opinion they try to force their opinion and that is wrong. Write you opinion and let it go. I have also seen people called mean or rude just because they arent agreeing with the op so I understand the fine line when someone is called rude. I do agree with Lou the longer youve been here and the more you have seen Im sure your opinions will change. Being here for any lengtrh of time will definitely make you more passionate in your responses. By the way the large starbucks coffee is the venti. I know because thats what I order

shodanusmc · 06-15-2010, 06:40 AM

Yes, Venti. I never get that one., I am a Tall and Grande.....thanks, I will now remember it. Now I have an urge for a Blueberry Muffin and a Grande Coffee. Well, wife is in Vegas, so why not. I will put Maxine in Charge of Carlo, and head over there and read the paper while I am at it.
