If Plan A works, then I will take over in silencing this scary so-called "breeder." (Belle Noir, you are on the right track!) If if Plan A doesn't work, then we have a Plan B which will be trickier, potentially more time-consuming for Lily, and require my immediate involvement. There are many more aspects to not just OP's dilemma, but poor Lily's as well. But that is OP's story to tell, if she so chooses. I have let OP know that she has many supporters here, which came as a relief to her, because she was rather hurt at what she perceived were several attacks on her when she simply asked for help. To Jezebel Whatever: You are correct; I should have said I have been following for years this "site," not "thread"; and as for my date of officially joining: thank you for correcting my math. It has been a long year, and I was very busy when I took the time to type that response. So to be clear: I have been following this site since at least early 2009, and officially joined eight months ago, although I never posted until last week. In fact, to cheer up OP, I told her about stumbling across a thread I had missed one recent Saturday afternoon, and by 10:00 pm I was still reading it with my mouth hanging open. The back-stabbing! The melodrama! The threats! The misinterpreting of the law! The cast of characters! The "banned" that appeared next to every name who posted a differing opinion! The way the thread kept disappearing, and like a sleuth I had to track down its reappearance elsewhere! The horror and hilarity of it all! Anyway, she had a good laugh, and she certainly needed it.

This and your earlier posts in this thread are rather dramatic.

To the OP: You are in a vulnerable state and I hope you are not taken advantage of by anyone on the internet. Protect yourself. Don't get involved in anything that may land you in hot water, and don't hand over any money.

Just to be clear, nobody is banned for having a "differing" opinion. If that were the case, half of the heated debates that occur on YT would not occur...many among long time members who do not meet eye to eye on every issue...but of course since you've followed this site for "two years" you already know that. Members are banned for personally attacking other members, and NO ONE is exempt from that. You are simply speculating by assuming these members were banned for having differing opinions. I would also like to add that your conjecture is extremely offensive because you are implying that the moderators and the creator of this site have some sort of agenda or slant that they are trying to advance. The site would ultimately benefit from having more members not less, so to assume that those who disagree are not welcomed is silly. Here's a link to the rule and guidelines of this site which details why members are banned: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...uidelines.html

There would be no drama here if everyone would just be patient, as I originally urged. And I hope you are not suggesting that, in offering to help Lily and her mom, I am attempting to get money from her. That's a low blow, even from you. Would you like a list of all my clients for whom I provide pro bono services? And it is better to leave the practice of law to people who actually practice it. In fact, a person who attempts to practice law without a license if is subject to criminal charges.

Even from me? Do you know me?

Is warning the OP to protect herself your definition of practicing law?

Are you admitted to the Colorado bar?

Or ... you could try to find some good-hearted lawyer to provide you with pro bono services. Good luck!

Good god. I made no speculation as to why "banned" appeared next to every name that voiced a differing opinion. I merely noted the obvious: "banned" appeared next to every name who voiced a differing opinion. Period. And I have read your link, but thank you for posting it. Try to enjoy the rest of your day.
