Heated threads! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I'll post if I have a strong opinion on the subject. I get a little nervous about offending someone because sometimes things don't come out on the written word the same way that they would come out of the mouth and can be taken wrong.

It depends on the subject. If it's something I feel strongly about I will
give my opinion if it's something that is going way off course I just leave.
I'm not here to get into a heated conversation.

Yeah I am like that too. Sometimes I do post if its not too heated but usually I just stay out of the overtly heated ones. I will read what everyone says though.

I bumped into one of your threads that had this in it so I had to vote and maybe bring this back, as I feel a lot of those issues are still the same and I am still a newbie.

Thanks Amber for starting this I have a lot of the same opinions that you do.

I dont mind a heated or any discussion. But it seems like its the same 5 or 6 people arguing about the same things over and over and over.(YTCA,AKC,Apri,Ckc,parti,choc,blond color,genetics,etc) Lets face it: we will never change each others minds on these things. And alot of the same people think I am coming off as rude or opionated. I am no ruder or opionated than anyone else in these "heated" discusions. I am just passionate about the direction this breed is going in.(or the direction its not going in thanks to the YTCA) About the only thing almost everyone here agrees on is the breeding of T-cups and puppy mills.

i read the heated topics, but rarely post because like others said things typed can be taken the wrong way and i dont want to make others mad or have felings hurt. plus i have made my share of mistakes and feel like who am i to talk.

I wouldn't post anything on a heated discussion not out of fear but it's just not my nature. I will admit though certain threads that I read that (& they probably were not intended this way) the link between a newbie & maybe trying to be a scammer at a future date did make me squirm in my chair just a little & it did make me feel a little at first like I NEEDED everyone to know that I'm a genuine newbie- I have nothing to scam for, I only want to gain info for my puppy from trusted knowledgable people & make friends with the ones that love the yorkie as much as I do & I'll probably spend alot of money on things for her here! LOL!

People should not get mad. If it is a sensative topic they shouldn't even post it. They are only asking for it if they put it out there for everone.

I have a tough skin and nothing someone says can hurt me but I can become angry if someone keeps going on and on about it.say what you feel and leave it alone.

However I don't ask for advice If I can't(or don't want to hear it)

take the negative as well as the positive opinions.I think most people know before asking if it is really a contraversial
topic and people will be strongly against it.

there are some people who will ask for honest opinions and then are hurt by the opinions.they need not ask for advice.

If you are a reader and have been here a month you know already

I feel there are some really good people here that are taken advantage of by the lier's and scammers here. I have seen a few posts like that and it seems no one else could see it,but I didn't post because I don't think it would have helped or changed anything.

You can Say what is on your mind with out being Rude or condescending
