| Feeling bad vibes on YT ?? Hi guys, like yourselfs im an absoulte YT nut, hubbys always giving of to me saying, are you on that yorkie site again. I dont know about you guys, but recently i have noticed that some people here are getting very bitchy and darn right rude towards other members. This is realy upseting me as i have learned so much here and knew if i had a problem, i could come straight here and have my question answered almost right away, in the nicest way possible. Now when i come on i find myself having to defend more and more members, as they have been asking simple question and the next you no they are getting bashed right left and centre. Maybe its just me, but does anyone else feel this way.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I agree. It makes me sad. I haven't been on much lately. and that's partially because I've been so busy, but when I'm not busy I just don't want to come here to see a bunch of closed threads and angry people.

| Old Sayings.... A few old sayings came to my mind when I read this.... Some things you have to take with a grain of salt. Some times you must consider the source. Some things you have to let roll of of you like water on a duck's back. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. If all else fails, if you don't like what you are reading, move on to something more pleasant. Pray for your enemies. Love in Christ, Teri

Hello suz it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums? We'd love for you to become an active member here! This is exactly why I don't post on here. Thanks for getting this topic out of the closet and into an open area!! If people would think before posting, maybe it wouldn't get so bad!!

Donating YT 14K Club Member | One must understand the reasons behind blunt posting...especially in the breeder's section. When people with a heart felt passion hears about tiny yorkie mommas that are being bred to produce tiny yorkies, it breaks their hearts. Many, many years have gone by where respected show breeders have tried to perfect our breed and then for someone to come along and purposely do something to change that genetic pattern to produce what is "in at the moment" ticks people off! Owners control the breeding of these girls. A dog isn't going to understand that sitting out or not being bred is in their best interest. Once their bodies go into season, they'll just respond as nature has programmed them to do. People may see shocked responses as being rude. I do not. It's one thing to flat out call someone stupid or other names. It's another to question their breeding practices. Females will continue to have heat cycles well into old age. Does this mean that they should be bred? Heavens no! I know that as a human adult, I'd hate to be pregnant when I'm in my 50s. A dog that is 6 years old has earned a healthy retirement and should be spayed so that she can live the rest of her life as a lap dog. We all want what is not only best for our beloved pets but for other people's pets as well. JMO

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | everyone has different ways of speaking thru posts and many times it probably comes across as harsher than if spoken aloud ....but I really don't think people go out of their way to come across as rude...I think there are some honest direct posts then some that maybe shouldn't have been posted...but the one thing I can say is most of the people who ARE posting love yorkies. It would be too bad if no one ever spoke up for fear of being bashed because they weren't as tactful as others. I agree we should always be civil & the breeder section does seem to generate the most diverse opinions....we can either read and learn or get upset and not read...I prefer to read as I've learned alot in that section...not that I'm a breeder but you never know .....one day maybe that could change ?? Kidding !! but I do find it interesting. just saw your post txshopper - WELL said.

Donating YT 14K Club Member | It comes and goes. One can't expect a forum of over 20,000 members to have happy sun shine days 24/7. It'll cool off after a while and everybody will be holding hands again.

| Freedom of speech is what America is made up of. What I see happening is that others are interpreting constructive criticism as "bitchy" and "rude", and it isn't even directed at them, yet they feel the "need" to jump in and stir things up into a bashing frenzy. Had they not taken things into their own non-understanding ways, it would never get that far. I'm sure the folks here can address the issues put in front of them in a more intelligent way without having the flame throwers starting a riot and getting everything taken out of context making the situation bad for everyone. If someone just makes it a point to come out and make remarks that they know will cause a major riot, then why don't you join the intelligent ranks and ignore the unintelligent remarks so that they just tuck tail and go away!! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I recently was on an 'all breed' site and OMG they were out for blood...and for the smallest things ...Same with some of the Techie sites...I usually try to find computer help by reading forums that pertain to the problem I may be having and man oh man - there's far more going on out there than I've ever seen here...YT is pretty tame when compared to other public sites Edited to add - remember all the great posts & the good people here - there's bound to be a few heated discussions but overall..this site has far more good threads than not.
