I know what you are saying that some people are mean.

I just believe that the MEAN people need to ask questions and know the WHOLE story about the OP's before they make direct attacks. So much text is missunderstood here on both ends. I love YT and appreciate peoples opinions and take them constructively.

But heaven forbid, that wasn't the question asked, just answer the question and give them the info they want....:thumbdown:mad:

Thank heavens there are enough people on here who don't care if they are called nasty names by people who are over sensitive and will speak up in the best interested of the DOG FIRST and the person responsible for the dog's suffering LAST. :thumbup:

:thumbup:I totally agree that in these cases - YOU MUST SPEAK UP!!!

People come on here for help and guidance and there are ways that you can respond to the OP without telling them - "What are you stupid". Some people do not bother to go through the threads - and you should guide them to read research and educate them - NOT TURN THEM AWAY. Because then, you certainly did not help that poor 3lb puppy mill female - but instead turned the uneducated, unprepared wanttobe breeder away to make a horrible mistake.

(Oh, and as for why people post that they are tired of these threads....it's called sarchasm. I thought that was pretty obvious, but I guess not everyone "got it.")

Now this is a perfect example of why I said "the good old boys club". Why address some and not all - when a thread like this is like a bunch of people in a conversation - not just a few that you want to talk to and exclude the rest. Its like you're moking someone - right in front of them???

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. :(

Yes, when you are new . . . it does take a while to figure out that most everyone is well meaning. And it takes a while to get a handle on everyone's internet personality.

Once you have been here with a dog in need (as I have) ~ and have seen the overwhelming support that is available . . . you will see with new eyes
I promise.
