| Please Read ok, i'm probably a little out of line but i have to say something and i really hope everyone reads and adds their two cents. benjisbuddy has been posting some really terrible things and seems to think they are cute maybe he/she is just kidding around but it isn't funny for example the post about smacking the dog then bathing it in the sink with a knife and the poor dog got 1/2 of his paw cute off. or punishing puppies by taking their food away! what kind of person would do that to an innocent puppy? just check out some of his/her posts and replies some of them made my jaw drop to the floor and some made my heart break. i am not a rude/mean person but when i get offended or feel what someone is doing is wrong i speak out about it and i apologize to any other members who thinks i am in the wrong but i think benjisbuddy is the one in the wrong!! |

| I would have to second your opinion but i would think most of what was said was probably just a terrible sense of humor that doesnt translate well into words (i hope)....... |

| I honestly think this is probably someone with too much time on their hands coming in here to ruffle feathers. I've seen it happen on other message boards, some people just like to cause trouble. I'm praying that they were lame attempts at jokes and they just wanted to get a rise out of someone. On my weight loss surgery message boards, we get people who come in and make fat jokes, knowing they are going to upset people. I hate that it happens, but unfortuantely it does - but the good ones are still here - so that's a plus, right? Love you guys!

| It appears that this person is a troll - someone that is coming into the community to instigate. I've reported the posts that I felt were offensive and encourage others to do the same by clicking the exclamation point icon at the lower left corner of the post you feel is inappropriate. I'm just a newby and don't know yet how this board is monitored/moderated but I hope that this person is dealt with quickly.

| I think this person is just here to BUG us, obviously he/she have nothing useful to add...only shows no respect for these animals. It is either somebody with a lot of free time on their hands or somebody who deserves to go to jail for animal cruelty....anyways, I hope something is done about it soon!!! |

| i e-mailed the administrator to let them know the awful things this person was saying/joking about and they decided that was someone that wasn't wanted in this forum and banned them. i'm am glad too. i am fairly new here and i love getting on here while i'm at work and reading posts and smiling about them, i don't enjoy reading posts that bring tears to my eyes. i hope it was just someone trying to stike a nerve with someone but with the people these days you never know. i felt sure that no one else appreciated the comments from that person. |

| I saw the first post he made to Carter's Mom and thought, "this guy is rude." Or thought maybe they were joking between each other ... then I ofund the flea post and realized he was a troll. I say three strikes and trolls should be kicked off. Next time this happens I will respond more quickly. Y'all are right -- this Benji wannabe was just here to upset us lighthearted and sensitive yorkie owners! His/Her writing skills were too good for him/her to be a real fleamarket-van-owning-17 mix breed-havin' fool anyway. All that stuff was made up I'm sure. Glad it's over. |

| i'm glad everyone agrees. at first i thought maybe i was being a bit too blunt and maybe a little rude but the more i read the more i was offended he/she even called her own kids mixbreeds now that is awful!! i do pray that it was just a game to them and there aren't 17 dogs suffering somewhere. but on a good note i just found out that a lady in our area that does Americas Cover Miss pageants is having one to benefit the OASIS Animal Shelter and you can enter photos of your dogs for photogenic. i can't wait to enter nala's photos. i wish it was a pageant for dogs but pics will be ok. hopefully the clothes i ordered from spoiledyorkies will be here in time. the are really cute. i've been trying to finish up a roll of film so i can post some pics of her for you guys but i've decided to borrow the digital camera from work so i can go ahead and introduce her you all have such cute babies and i want you to see my precious bundle of joy!! |

Administrator | Yes, it was taken care of immediately after we were notified. We depend on our members to self-police the community, as it's growing by leaps and bounds this past month. We do accept humor, but this individual just seemed to post sick jokes just to tick people off, which is definitely unwelcome here. In the future, if you find any posts that are offensive please email us at webmaster@yorkietalk.com, or hit the Report Post button, which is the red triangle shape icon with a ! in the middle. Thanks! |

| That is so sad I hope this woman gets what she deserves and maybe her kids can get a new home too. It makes me furious whenever someone abuses animals by witholding food! This fool should be arrested. |
