| Sorry I would like to apologize because I apparently didn't do what I was suppose to for the GE. I'm sorry. I had a great time picking out my gifts for my buddy and loved seeing the thought my buddy put into my gifts and thanked her in my post with pictures and in a pm. I was told multiple times by another member how I was not up to her standards. It really became misrable with her badgering. She finally said it was because I did not post on everyone's thank your thread. I am sorry I didn't. I don't always know the right words to say something so I didn't. If I ruined anyone time again I am sorry that was not my intention.

| It was ME it was ME I take the credit for what most of us thought. I guess my idea that each member of the exchange do the polite thing and post at least one comment on everyone's thank you thread is just to much for some or should I say one. For those of you in the exchange just think how would you feel if you only got one comment or view on the thank you thread you took so much time in preparing or on the gifts you spent so much time choosing. I loved what my buddy got me and quite honestly if I could I would have shared it with the world. Is it really to much to ask to have each of the GE participants look at the thank you threads and comment, isn't it what the month of waiting and then shopping is about, it's to see who had who and what kinds of surprises were received.

| GE I have never taken part in the GE and do not know the rules and etiquette. So please forgive me if my comments offend anyone. I found it sad that Taylor had to write such a public apology for not thanking people in the right way. If she thanked her buddy for her gifts, was she also expected to write comments for all the others in the GE? I thought thanks were from the heart and not given according to rules. I really believe that Taylor would have 'done the right thing' if she had known what was expected of her, and realized that omitting to do so would offend people. Whatever the rules sin, I think the above posts are not very kind. Just my uneducated opinion. |

| I don't engage in the GE because Zoey doesn't wear clothes nor can she eat treats of any kind but I do enjoy seeing the gifts that others receive. The anticipation of receiving gifts and sharing photos with the forum is a wonderful part of being in the GE but making someone feel bad about the way they say "thank you" is disheartening. Think I am glad not to be a part of this.

| Honestly if you were in the GE you might understand better and feel a little differently. Taylor has been a VERY vocal member of YT for a long time and has no trouble posting on threads outside of the GE just about every day and is closing in on 16,000 posts. We had new members with barely 100 posts, members that have jobs and families, single mothers and so forth in the exchange, yet all managed to post at least one comment on each of the GE threads. I even posted a thread reminding everyone to check out the thank you threads.

| Sorry, but I don't think being on the GE would change my opinion of what I consider to be a unnecessary " rule". By the way, I have been reamed out by Taylor for a post reply regarding lost dogs but I don't hold it against her as her opinion is just as valid as mine. You have to let "stuff" roll off and worry about the important issues in life. JMHO!

| once again if you were in the exchange you would understand how much work goes into them and part of it is participating in the end which is the thank you phase. Normally I would never say anything but it came up in another thread where Taylor was posting over and over again, and she carried it over here. Had this been a new member with hardly any posts it would be different, but when a member is as vocal and as opinionated as she is I feel I can be the same.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I was really looking forward to being a part of the next GE...now I'm not so sure. I'm not a person to be controversial, and I haven't read any other posts regarding the issue, however all of this sounds a bit childish to me. It reminds me of my students and my children, not grown adults. It's really disappointing to know something like this would overshadow something that was supposed to be fun. How very sad. |

You are correct you rubbed me the wrong way since I joined Yorkie Talk and that is because within a week of me joining you picked on something I said and questioned me to death like I was a child that needed scolding, you had me in tears because I saw how many posts you had and I thought perhaps you were a moderator or someone one very important on Yorkie Talk, only later did I find out who you were and like you said " I don't always no the words to say I don't know if it's because of my social anxiety that I'm scared I'm going to be judge for everything or if it's my possible Autism that makes those things hard for me If this statement is true how do you find the confidence to write so many posts voicing your opinion over and over again, you are almost up to 16,000 by now. I really don't think it is fair that every time someone calls you on the carpet over something you said or posted that they find offensive you pull the autism card. To me you can not have it both ways if you feel confident enough to be a regular poster on here you can not cry disability every time something does not go your way
