Isn't that what you are doing right now? LOL! Get your story straight before pointing fingers please!

And as far as big girl panties and an open mind? If you had either one, you wouldn't be quoting me and making false accusations. Here's to happy debating!

Shall we go back to your quote? How about :

" Wow, why do I feel like I am back in high school with all the back and forth arguing and disagreeing going on? I think it's time to close this topic.

You are free to step away from a topic at any time. Per Yorkie Talk Rules anyone can give their opinion and go back and forth on a topic. You might call that high school, the rest of us call it free speech. Through the back and forth you get not only opinion, but the rationales behind the opinions that allow other people to make up their own minds about a subject.

Also, per YT rules, the only one who can call for a thread to be closed is the OP and a moderator.

From several of your posts, you have a need to have the last word and heaven forbid anyone say differently. So to that end, I am going to follow some sage advice here from Lovestodream and put you on ignore.

I do think it's because everyone here REALLY cares about their pets and they're passionate about what they believe in. But sometimes it can come across as a little "bitchy". I guess I grew up learning that there are more respectful ways to share your beliefs. I think it's the negativity that's a little disconcerting here, more so than the arguing. But I'm one to "kill with kindness", and not let anyone else's negativity bring me down. Not everyone is like this, and some even enjoy arguing, and that's ok too I guess. I'm just not used to it! haha

That being said, I really appreciate all the replies and good information! I don't think moms of puppies OR babies with ever agree on vaccines! All we can do is share as much information with each other as possible and try to make the best decisions we can.

Well not everyone is going to feel the same way and not everyone words are going to be read by others in the tone they were written. It is what it is. There is a lot that can be learned from arguing. After the argument some people may really think about things or go look them up and I don't even think its arguing its just more bickering if anything.

If you think this is drama goodness the real world must really be a killer.

Makes ya wonder...if they feel offended in regards to such a simple post, which has nothing to do with the topic in hand, how they will react to something that is? Oops, nevermind, we have already seen reactions. It's also evident as to who loves to argue and be negative...past posts don't lie!



Share? Yes absolutely. Critisize, argue and be negative? Childish!

Seriously? So you looked at every one who posters thousands of post to see they like to argue? You must have a lot of time on your hands. Who is being the childish one by downing our board and people you do not have to post here.

This is the best forum for Yorkie owners. Probably even dog owners. You don't know what you're taking about to say otherwise. Yeah we come right out and are direct, but one day some of this "criticism" or "childishness" as you call it could save your dog's life. We don't need professionals chiming in - we have a collective lifetime of experiences here on all things Yorkie. Now, what was that other forum about?

if people don't like our board I have to wonder why they post here I guess to start drama because that is what it sounds like!

As I quote Silkypoo: "As a newbie to this forum, I can honestly say there is more arguing/negativity in this forum than any other I have visited recently". Thats pretty sad coming from the OP.

If you don't like it here why are you posting sounds like your acting they way you say we are! Hmmmm whose the real drama queen?

and in the end us good drama queen members care about each other. Me and Cathy may go back and forth but she is the only person I would ask about certain things and she is always willing to help me and if she ever needed my help I would happily give it to her.

Kathy we do have professionals here, in fact many of them. Although I do not know what kind of professionals that gal is talking about.

And this is what I will say; YT is one of the best forums in doggeydom. The articles here, the research and links are invaluable, and I personally thank all current and prior members who have contributed to this massive knowledge base.

And many breed fanciers here have a huge amount of knowledge and personal experience to share.

What some can call bickering, or arguing, I call discussion. Many of the posters here are long time members of YT, and as such, we kind of know one another.

To a new member it might seem, that we are kind of going tooth n nail at each other, when in fact we are not.

There are many folks here I have deep respect for, and only a few of them are actual Yorkie breeders.

I am for the first time in my dog owning life getting a dental done. I have read all the threads, I did my own research. And my first dental will be with my large breed dog. I do not know of any of the large dog breeders who advocate dentals. But my boy will have one done.

It is directly through the information here that I changed my mind.

There is another thing or two I want to say to our newer members. YT is such a great support forum. When I lost my Zoey to cancer, when she had heartworm treatment before, when Magic had DLSS, when Razzle came up with low thyroid, when my cat died of cancer. Who was there for support both emotional and practical...

These self same members of YT, many of whom have posted on this thread.

I hope that all new members do stick around. When I first joined I had no idea how to research a posters past threads or posts. But do not judge YT on just one thread, or one poster.

Yes we can be raucous, and noisy, and passionate about our beliefs, but through our diversity joined together with an absolute love of this breed is what makes this one of the most knowledgeable dog forums around.

Peace to all

Who is offended over a post?
Debate does not mean offense.

We all talk to each other outside the public forum and enemies we are not.

FWIW, another member and I used to debate somewhat on YT. We are both scientifically minded and we both want to learn. The result? We are very close friends.
