I'm not going to touch this with a 10 foot pole.

That's where my bluntness and strong opinions come out, posts like that!
When I see posts & posters with what is considered by many unethical breeding practices, I speak up!
After four years there are more and more people using this site to sell puppies and though there are plenty of reputable breeders on this site, there are way too many that are highly questionable and any potential buyer should be made aware of breeders that scream out "red flags."
I think the OP has every right to post this and and everyone that responds has a right to defend one way or another.
Bottom line, people are going to speak up with frankness, bluntness. People are going to continue to help, educate and call out questionable breeders, etc..
I know I will!

I think being totally honest it's breeders, sick Yorkies/vet care and buying situations that bring a lot of heat to posts and since this site is dedicated to the love of Yorkies, that isn't going to change!

Have you actually read the OP's other thread? I doubt it, but if you did, I'd love you to point out the posts you consider rude.

Same goes for posts you consider rude/mean/etc... don't like it, don't read it.

heyyyy i AM the OP. and as i stated plenty of times in this thread, that OTHER thread is not what i was talking about! so thanks =]

i also said that there are plenty of of responses i have gotten and seen on other people threads that i thought were RUDE.

I haven't responded to any post I thought was rude, mean, etc. I have read some and shook my head but I go on. I like to be nice about things and not let things bother me. I love it here. ;)

@Bamafan....I agree with you on some things...

Now I don't know about everyones elses encounter with "rudeness" on here, but with what I have experienced...there's no OPINION. It is as clear as filtered water that that this person was being rude.

I started a thread when I 1st registered here at YT. It was about me lookin ( & still looking ) for a yorkie, how I'm in college yadda yadda yadda. Well this breeder posted & she is clearly one of the elders here....been here for years & had thousands of posts under their belt. They were VERY helpful & knowledgable (sp?) about breeders & picking out yorkies. Then they recommened a breeder to me...but they were too far, & I told her I wanted to stay local. They were being helpful & kept giving me reasons y I should pick this breeder but I kindly rejected the offer & said I wanted to stay local. Well they mustve gotten fustrated with me & said: "Well, the breeder I recommended would probably have 2nd thoughts about placing a pup with a college student anyway."

.... HOW is that ^ statement helping me....is that advice?....NO
& if you KNEW this from the beginning why would you recommend them?

Now this is the opinion part....I felt that was said out of spite. :-\
Since I didnt want to go to your breeder...all of a sudden they wouldn't give me a pup ANYWAY? Hmmmm....interesting......

I must admit I did contradict myself because I asked about a breeder in TX, I had a dumb moment...but that was AFTER they wrote that rude comment. I thanked them for they're help & info & went on my merry way. I have seen that same member in other threads really helping people out that's why I kinda let it go.

from what i've seen and experienced, the "elders" some but not ALL tend to PUSH their opinions on people. and get VERY upset if you don't follow their advice. and that my friends, is an example of a meanie. lol.

It is okay to call. people who dont agree with you meanies, gangsters,rude but what if they called you the polite police since you think all advice should be sugar coated

lol well i'd take that title proudly! i kinda like it matter of fact :) . . . maybe its just the way i was raised *shrugs*

Nope, I actually didn't. I wasn't basing my response to the OP's experience. I'm basing it off of MY experience! & one of my points was if the OP felt disrespected in anyway they have the right to express that.

I think you've posted in my thread & gave me good advice ( or maybe I've seen your posts in other threads & thought it was great advice ).......idk..... but I have no problem with you, & nothing in my response was directed towards you.

& to be honest I don't want to read that thread because it has nothing to do with me. That's between you & the OP. :)

How can you not read it if its in YOUR thread & directed towards YOU!
Its like you come on your thread to see all the great responses then you see that one unnecessary comment & its like Where the HECK did that come from?!? Lol

I think we need to get tee shirts! :lol tears:lol tears:lol tears

Snort!

ROFLMAO.. Love it... I take 3 T;s medium please.

Ooooooo! :eek: I would Definately wear one of those shirts! I like the green one.
BUT! It has to say "But they'll have to earn it 1st!" On the back! Lol!!! ;)

Don't you agree??


P.s. do those come in Yorkie sizes too?? :-)

I don't think that she was rude or mean either. (Then again, I'm not so easily offended.) I never said that she was. On the contrary, I said I actually understood where she was coming from. She read something she felt strongly about and responded in a strong manner--the SAME thing that others are being called "mean" and criticized for. So really, we're not all so different, eh? She said that she agreed with some of my points, not with others. I feel the same way.

In addition, I thought she made a very good point. Would you get a free pass to push someone out of a wheelchair, just because you donate 1000s to charity? (Of course, my first question would be, what did the guy in the wheelchair do?;)) It's funny....100s of positive posts are not enough to justify someone as a "good person," yet a handful of negative ones are enough to condemn them. How's that for logic?

I'm not going to say that "rude" or "mean" comments don't cause for negative vibes on YT...but so do threads like where everyone has a whine-fest and calls names. So yes, IMO, that is like the pot calling the kettle black. Thing is, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I'm certainly guilty of venting about things and blowing off steam, who isn't? But if you express an opinion, you can count on someone else viewing it the opposite way. Doesn't make anyone "right", just different. In the end, it won't matter. Like previously mentioned, this topic has been discussed 564254 times before. In the end, either people will learn to deal with it, or they'll let it upset them. A few years from now, you'll most likely either 1) not even be here anymore, or 2) have a completely different understanding of opposing points of view.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I have read some that I thought side swiped the op. I was like what???:confused:

No, I do not agree. The red ones are better....it is a fact. :p

(That's jokes, kids.)

...UGH! Red is soooooo last year!





Lol j/k Bamafan ;)

LOL! You guys.;)

What you call side swiped, someone else might calling out the BS. Again, it's a matter of perspective. Meanie/Whiny = perception.

Again, if you read something in a post you originated and you don't like the response, just gloss over it. Your blood pressure will thank you for it and you'll live longer. :p

But when you come on a public forum and you ask for advice/opinions, be prepared to get them. No one is immune to having their posts taken the wrong way or being perceived as mean/rude etc. And if the advice given doesn't apply to or fit your particular situation, move on. But it just might help the next person or make someone think before doing something.

As for the shirt colors: Does that come in pink?

I have read this thread and have to admit that everyone is right!

(I am Switzerland.....and am remaining neutral, and thats that!:D )

I haven't asked any opinions. I'm just saying what I've read. Sorry

I think she was making a general comment, not observations intended solely for you and you alone. :cool:

I haven't responded to any of your previous thread/posts because I felt YOU were rude to me on your very first day of YT when I offered advice~up until today when I saw this thread~tell you the truth I hadn't bothered to open another not sure why I did today :rolleyes: Yes sweetie you were VERY RUDE to me..........but I sure didn't start a thread about the newbie with the attitude. Nope~its a forum and we all have an opinion and mine was decided back in July. ;)

BTW~I am one of those people that have been a shoulder to turn to when one is needed. I've offered tons of private advice both in PM and by phone. I'm a strong supporter of rescue and I'm there when others need someone for help. It is when all the positive members offer advice and their experience that make YT a great learning place. It's too bad that it is not better appreciated. :(

Oh ok, I just thought it was intended for me since my post was quoted. I'm still learning. I don't get on enough to be able to see the whole picture. I'm sorry again.

Yes, I meant the general "you".

So you did mean me?
