Why We Left Yt And Why We're Back

I didn't want to bring this issue up but felt it needed to be done.

The reason we left Yorkie Talk back in early July was due to some very unpleasant postings by some members here, and then my receiving emails off YT. Because of those very unpleasant emails, I changed our email address.

No, I did not steal someone elses picture for our avator, a very kind lady was willing to help me get our avator together and it was an honest mistake on her part, the lady that helped me with my avator has not been on YT for long, long time; since shortly after she helped me. I really hope all is well with her because she was very kind to help me and myself not being good at the computer, needed all the help I could get. Still do.

Truthfully I never paid much mind to the one picture till the gentlemen brought this to my attention. I loved the picture of Jack with Baby Blessing and that is the one I focused on and also the one of her with the measuring cups. The person that the picture belonged to, not one time was unkind to me, he or she just merely asked me a question and I replied back as I couldn't understand why I was being asked about the picture.

My gosh, there was no need for any YT'er to criticize someone else or myself over this and to say such hurtful things.

I am thankful for those that I have came to know here at YT and that know me and my integrity for what it is, yes, I am a Christian and love the Lord and when I was ridiculed, degrading my Christian Faith, that was a bit much for me to take. I don't care what anyone feels or thinks of me, my actions in leaving was due to my praying about this situation and I felt it was the best thing to do. I would never utter an unkind word to someone else, I will walk away and shut my mouth up before I do.

After all the ugliness from some, I will no longer post pictures here. I now have a picture in my avator it is of Cassie, she was the reason we found Yorkie Talk, after her passing away. I feel God brought us to this site and so I realized I was wrong to leave and so we are back.

Please know I am one that don't like unpleasant things and I will do what is neccessary to avoid them, there is so much in this world that needs our caring and prayers, just everyday life can be devasting to many that have hardships to endure. We know so well what it is and have had plenty ourselves. We don't need any added frustrations in life nor do I think anyone else does.

I certainly want to thank the Administrator here and the moderators when all this happened and the way it was handled. I truely believe this is a great site and is very well managed by caring people.

I guess in closing all I want to add is please don't jump to conclusions and let words come out that can't be taken back, there is so much upset in the world and this is such a great site, too many things have happened and I personally know of several that left and haven't came back because of unpleasant things they encountered.

I want to be here to share my love for the yorkie breed and yes pray for each other in time of need. I have came here many times and requested prayers and have witnessed the mighty power of them being answered for loved ones as well as ourselves.

I stay away from threads that provoke unpleasant things there is far too many wonderful forums here and I look forward being back and sharing with others the love we have for our yorkies and to read wonderful posts from others about theirs.

Sorry I didn't intend for this to be this long.

Have a nice day and no matter what anyone thinks of me, to those that said unkind things, the past is the past and I want to let it go. Please if you have something nice to say in replying here thanks but if you don't, please just ignore my posting.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Sincerely, Patti and Jack

I am not one for all the dust ups..so I have no clue what is going on...nor do I care....Glad to have you back!!

Welcome back, Patti. I wasn't aware of the problem, but no need to explain to me. You're always welcome here, and you were missed.

I wasn't aware of the issues either but I am really happy you are back Patti!

I am glad your back!!! I read a little bit of what was going on but I am glad you explained it because it now makes more sense

Patti, I have been a member here for awhile and I have seen some "ugliness" and I too stay away from it. I am glad I am now meeting you and would love to get to know you better as we learn and share our love for our Yorkies.

Wishing you the Best!!
Tammie

PATTI .... I am sooooo glad you guys are back on here .... I sure missed you .... you are my 'Rock' and you always cheer me up .....

I was stunned to hear you guys left ..... BUT I am glad your BACK .......

Hugs Jenny ;)

Patti, right about the time "whatever happened" occurred, my life was like the Twilight Zone. When I saw you had left, I just sat and stared at the words for a long time in disbelief! I decided that the next time I signed on I would find that it was just my imagination. Anyone who knows you, knows that you would never intentionally do anything dishonest nor hurt anyone else! You are loved here and I just prayed that God would handle it because we certainly couldn't!! :) I love it when I'm right!! ;)

Patti..
once again im sending you a warm welcome back!! :) you have always been so sweet to me and always have such gracious and caring posts! ;) i understand how you could be hurt by something you knew was all a big misunderstanding.. people are too quick to judge and i am sorry you had to be in the middle of something like this :( big hugs to you and i am so glad you are back and posting! ;) you were missed! as soon as i saw you weren't a member, it made me sad-im sure many felt the same way.. you are very genuine and sincere.. and your love for others and your faith are shown through your posts and caring nature! :thumbup: again, i am sorry you had to go through something so hurtful to you, especially since many of your hurt was fueled by false information/quick judgements. :( i have even more respect for you, seeing this post and being able to move on and not dwell on past issues, that takes a big person, no matter how kind! ;) your post was VERY well put.. you said everything perfectly & got off your chest what im sure many others have asked about. welcome back to the both of you.. there are MANY who are truly happy to see all has been worked out and to see you posting again! ;) xoxo. :hug:

I wasn't aware of why you left but welcome back.:)

I am also unaware of what happened, but, I am glad that you didnt let it keep you away! Welcome Back!:D

Don't really know of what happened as I make it a point to not post in drama threads but whatever your case is........WELCOME BACK!!! :D

I was also un aware, but, WELCOME BACK!! I try to remember this one thing: When I was once walking through lies about me...I knew they were lies, the peaople SAYING them knew and thank GOD people who knew me or cared about me knew they were lies ( I can't STAND lies ) however, it was still so upsetting to me b/c it went against every fiber of my being. One Sunday in church the pastor was talking about something and said " you know if Jesus woul have walked around defending himself against lies and accusations he would not have had time to do all the healing and miracles " From that moment on I never worry about what people say. Sure, I will try to clear it up for them, but I don't spend my engery if they are just set against me.

Again Welcome Back!

Patti, I'm so glad you are back. Your posts bring much needed comfort and support to this forum and to it's members. When I first joined, YT was like a family - closenit, loving, a few squabbles, but mostly an awesome group of people with one thing in common - our love of our furbies. As we have grown, which is a great thing, our family has brought in many new and different personalities - some super, some not so super. That's what extended families are all about. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. I don't think all the ugliness here is intentional - only people posting feelings or observations too quickly - without thinking about how what they say may affect others. Then the snowballing starts and things get out of control. Or posting publicly, not by pm'ing. There will always be bad apples in every family. Anyway, I'm so happy you are back, I missed you terribly, as did all those who have spent any time benefiting from your compassion for others. Anyone who "knows" you, knows you are an honest, caring person with a heart of gold who would never do anything intentionally to hurt another. WELCOME BACK and I love your new avatar pic:).

Welcome back Patii & Jack!!

Patti! I am so happy to see you back! I ALWAYS enjoy your posts!!
This is a great site and there are sooooooooooo many wonderful people here. Just ignore the drama and the trolls! It isn't worth the effort to respond or acknowledge them.
Welcome back sweetie!! :hug:
