Want to clear something up !!! This post was in the Missy Elliot Thread in Gen Disc. SORRY IT's SO LONG !! I NEED to clear the air about this post - While the person said it in the nicest way - It told me something I didn't know. I didn't know I was being considered controversial here on yorkietalk and want to CLEAR THE AIR because that really bothers me ...so I copied my answer and put it here for people to read below but wanted to address this first. Some of the threads I've been in DO get controversial. In the future there are just certain things I'm going to stay away from - I will always be against Mills and Pet Stores selling live animals but there really have been some threads recently that I just should have NOT posted in and will try not to anymore - they go nowhere and only continue to create drama. That is SO NOT ME. I would much rather be lauging or reading good information than defending certain things over and over. The last thing I EVER want to be is labled as 'controversial'. I'm not - far from it - I get along with EVERYONE in my life and on yorkie sites....in the future will be watching how I post as I would rather be considered as an asset to a board.....not a person who likes drama. I don't like it and I sure don't want to have a rep as someone who is involved in it. So for those who have that opinion - I hope you can see things a bit differently after this thread. I know there are certain people who already made their minds up - but I hope those people have open minds.

You always seem to know the right things to say when someone is having a bad day or a tragedy. Makes me feel better knowing that you are making them feel better. And I, for one, don't find you controversial AT ALL! Well rounded, kind-hearted and way FUNNY!!! My original Response I do get a bit passionate about certain things - and try to center the passion on 'controversaries' that I feel very strongly about which always will be Pet Stores and Puppy Mills - I think there are those of us who do speak out but it doesn't mean we like debating - I personally do NOT....the only debates I really get into usually involve the same subjects. I'd perfer to be helping people and laughing then be involved in drama and I spend ALOT of time offsite doing pictures for members who need help etc...I feel bad if people think I like controversary and maybe will need to stay away from certain posts in the future. If you knew me in person - I'm VERY VERY easy going. too easy going sometimes - My husband says I joke around TOO much but I LOVE making people laugh. If I can make someone smile everyday - then I'm happy. |
I need to add....someone pointed out to me that I have tons of posts - I Do. I've been on yorkie sites for 2-1/2 years now. I probably DO have upwards of 15 thousand posts and in that amount - I get along GREAT with 99.9% of the people I talk to. In these past years - I have never been considered controversial and don't want to start now so I hope for those who had that Idea - maybe this post will give you a different view. It's very hard to really know someone on the net - but usually with me - what you see is what you get - the 'drama's in between are very NOT part of my personality. I'm a lover not a fighter :D |
Red98vette, I dont get on here a whole lot but from what I know of you on here I think you seem to be a very nice person. You have helped me on here before with the pic frames. I dont know what this is all about, I must not have read them all but, I do believe that everyone is intitled to there own opinions and believes, so you should not feel bad for that. Just wanted to say I think your nice and funny! |

I loved that she said what she said - it opened my eyes ....and from her NICE post - I learned something. I just need to stay away from certain things because this IS a fun site and that's why we're all here. |
I REALLY DIDNT READ THE THREAD BEFORE TILL NOW. I THINK YOU ARE ONE OF THE NICEST AND SWEETEST PERSON HERE.SO I DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE SAYING THAT.YOU ALWAYS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY TO MAKE A PERSON FEEL BETTER. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE BABIES ARE SICK. LOVE YA GIRL YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!! :p :D :) ;) I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS : :D |
1 Attachment(s) Thank you !! This is more for anyone who thinks I post in 'controversaries' because I enjoy it - I DON'T !!! It's NOT something in particular - I do post against Mills and Pet Stores all the time - maybe I just need to tone it down some - I just don't want people having the wrong idea when they see my name - I know this is a small community and I really love being a part of it - I'm the kind of person that likes things out in the open - which is why I posted this thread. For the laugh - THIS is another reason I need to tone things down a bit. :D :D :D |
Yorkie Talks Sunshine Queen! Quote:
Your loving personality shines here on Yorkie Talk! We all love and adore your friendship here...and you have helped me with so many questions about owning my first Yorkie~ ;) Your like sunshine on this board...I had to go back and re-read the Miss Elliot Thread...because we are close to the same age...and ...lol.....I told you that I have to go to MTV.com to find stuff my kids talk about~ lol :p The threads on this forum that have turned controversial....is in no way because of you.... :cool: Some of the threads I've seen started...and then the poster will sit back and just watch the discussion ensue...(thats the part that bothers me most) :confused: So what we wind up with is many folks here on YT supporting each other by the trail of dust that comes from those type threads.. Your a doll...a true sweetheart...and I think 99.9% of us know that... :) I usually don't respond to the ones that I know will become that way...and if this one does...then we will see just who is controversial ~ :rolleyes: My main concern...right now..is that this is a Holiday Weekend...and you are bugged by this one comment that the poster meant in the nicest way....and I think some of us are still smarting from the events from the last few weeks.. You keep being your wonderful self...I for one love you to death...and feel like I know Chanel, Cheri, & Tessa from the wonderful stories you share... I can't seem to get enough of seeing your girls...or hearing about them...and yes... I'm the first in line to purchase ONE OF THE SPY GIRLS BOOKS!!!! :D yorkie hugs your way.... :) |
I SO agree Melissa and thank you for saying that. There is really so much in our country right now that I wasn't going to even post ....but sometimes we just need escape and this is a perfect place to get it - This site should not be used for Podiums and I have been guilty of speaking up over some things but with this SAD state of our country - That's one reason I thought today was a good time to say what I said - We all need to be thankful we are safe and have good lives......we have enough drama in REAL LIFE and don't need to see it here. There'll probably always be minor differences of opinions - and I'm glad to say I'm not involved in every thread that has controversary. If done in a healthy way - people can learn from it..... but some do get a little off subject and I have been guilty of that also - so I wanted to apologise for that. |
Villette - I can't believe that someone would call you controversial. if stating your own opinion for the good of yorkies/animals then go for it! You have always been helpful to me. Your posts are ones I always try to read! You created picture frames for my avitar and was your own idea - you came to me asking to help me! You would be terribly missed - here at YT! We love ya! Someone told me (because I am a type of person that tries to please Everyone and get upset with myself when I can't) - that you Cannot please Everyone - and this is okay. All you can do - is be yourself and be the best person you can. I think you are doing just fine! :) T. |

YOU guys are the best - it takes all of us for a good site....and while we do have many many personalities here - I just wanted you all to know that mine is usually ALWAYS what you see - I love people and I do hope that shows. Thank you for replying - I wasn't wanting to sound too dramatic - but I DID want to address this. Thank you. |
HAHA, I Love the picture that is soo adorable. I think you are a great person and I am so glad you are on YT. And I love to see the pictures that you post of Chanel and Cheri they are adorable. |
My 2 cents!! I have been a member for EONs! In the beginning, it didn't take ten minutes to read and comment on all the posts for an entire day!! :) I vividly remember when Villette joined! Sometimes there were days when, if it had not been for her cheerful, witty posts ... my day would not have had a single bright spot!! I believe that I can [because of lots of personal interaction both on the board and off] vouch for the fact that she is absolutely not controversial but very caring, compassionate and hysterically funny!! Her heart is always in the right place and for this reason, I have also seen her "baited" and drawn in by controversial "debates" while her posts are from the heart, they are either misunderstood or twisted to mean something entirely different! Villette, we who know you already know that you aren't controversial but a very sincere, caring ... "nut" ... and I do mean that in a "good way"!! If anyone would judge you, perhaps they should get to know you first?! We love you! ;) |
Bettyanne - I SO remember you too ! When I first joined you were SO great and I felt such a welcome from you that I've never forgotton you - It sure does seem like a long time ago doesn't it ? It's you and members like you that make this board so great - Thank you ...that was so nice of you to post. |
Villette-- You controversial? Hmmmm I have to disagree...I see you post what YOU BELIEVE...If people think that is controversy then that is their problem not yours...Your posts are HILARIOUS! AND yes some are on the serious side, but either way you are a very valued member here and WE ALL ADOREEEEE Chanel and Cheri! :) Now go fix that lil girls bow!! LOL!! Lots of yorkie hugs! Fran and Sammi |
villette, i don't find you controversal at all. i can't beleive that someone would call you that!! i, for one, just LOVE you, and your girls!!! i agree with melissa, i'd be waiting at the bookstore to buy one of those spy girl stories!! i really feel like i know you, just from being on different sites with you, and from what i can tell you are a sweet, kind, loving, FUNNY person! you have helped me and my family so much from first joining to losing bandit to getting tucker and everything in between, thank you so much, this site wouldn't be the same without you! |
Controversy is NOT your game at all. The people who said that about you just want to make themselves seem less controversial by placing it on you. You say what you feel and so do I. Anyways, you don't need to worry yourself about what that .5% says about you because the rest of us, LOVE YOU AND THINK YOU AND YOUR GIRLS ARE THE BEST! Love ya V P.S. FOR GODS SAKE FIX HER BOW...POOR THING. :p |
I dont think your controversial and I didnt see the post where someone said you were. I think your just passionate about some subjects and there is nothing wrong with that. |
Villette, I'm shocked that someone labeled you controversial! :eek: You've always tried to keep the peace and this is very surprising!!! You're one of the sweetest people that I know! Don't worry about what other people say. People WILL talk and there's nothing you can do about that. They'll get over it and move on! People can label me whatever they want and you know what? I don't give a rat's ass! I know what I am and many others know how I am. Am I going to sit and stew over negativity? No and neither should you! You have lots of friends and people that care a great deal about you. I don't know everything that was said but put it behind ou and move on. And yes, you are laid back AND I GOT YOUR BACK! |
As you said you have alot of posts! .. I've been reading and enjoying things you've written about a long time. I don't find you controverial at all. I actually find you amazing in you're response to everyone. ...you always seem to say the right thing! Sometimes I zoom through and don't read closely enough what others have to say . I think anyone would admit the majority of things you comment back to people make them feel good. We would all miss you if you weren't around . |
Thanks for the nice replys !! I wasn't leaving...but wanted everyone to hear from ME that I don't intentionally try to be outspoken. Our lives are stressful enough...we don't need it here. I do think many of the topics on yorkietalk can really help educate people on things many aren't aware of - Mills...Pet Stores etc.... and I will probably always be outspoken on those topics - but there were a few cases lately I could have just stayed out of and THAT is the reason for this thread. So....Thanks ! Chanel And Cheri & I are very lucky to be in the company of so many nice people. :) and we would SURE LOVE spellcheck here ..I think I edit most every post for spelling fixes. |
Now that is hilarious!! You have to be one of the nicest people I've NEVER met and it pisses me off that you're in Texas and I can't have the pleasure of meeting! That makes my heart ache! I know that there's some here that like to START the controversy but it's always you that end in in a dignified way. Now about Cheri's hair! LOL!! I feel like posting a picture of Brutus right now and how he looks. Mr. needs a bath, hair in his face, chlorine smelling, tangled mess, beggin for everything stud that he he is. But they're still cute! |

Listen gal, I like you so much that if you were wrong I'd stick up for you. (and of course you are not) What I like about your answers is you always look at the thread from both points of view and you make sure that things you might say will not hurt anyone. There are times when as much as I want to bite my tongue, I let it out. Really we wouldn't be normal if we didn't. I usually do it when I see someone new being roped in to a situation and I can see when you do,it's for the benifit of the majority. You have done so many nice things for people including me but this is NOT coming because of that. Don't let the "you know whats get to you" What's the deal with you made alot of posts "What's that got to do with the price of cheese????????????????????????????????" I'm upset. |

I think you are a beautiful person and you have always been nice to me starting back as far as when we belong to Yorkie Direct Forum. I have found comfort in your kind words and wisdom in the advice you have given me. In certain topics we ALL get wrap up in topics because we ALL want the best for our yorkies and that is not a crime. I have learn so much from you on these forums and if someone want to label you controverial because you believe in some thing and stand your ground firm about it then I want to be just like you when I grow up because you are a da*n good role model. Take what people say with a grain of salt. Pick and choose. Choose what is useful to you and let the rest go in one ear and out the other. YOU ROCK RED98VETT!! |
I musta missed something somewhere...see what happens when you step away from the 'puter!! Villette, I certainly am a fan. Anybody as fun loving and full of common sense as you are has nothing to worry about. I know I don't consider standing up for what you think is right is the same as being controversial. There are hot button topics that are always going to be a factor, but the biggest reason I post here is to try to learn new things and help educate others if I can. You are always the best at having a sensible outlook and your humor is invaluable. Please don't get all tactful on us now! It'll be a snoozefest. |
Okay, I have been so busy with law school that I just keep missing things........I'm going to have to start paying more attention to what's going on at YT! Vilette, I have no idea how in the world someone could think you were controversial. :confused: Your posts are so positive, uplifting, not to mention some are just hilarious, that I specifically hunt out your posts on the threads just to read them because they make me smile!! :D :D I really missed your presence on YT when you were gone on vacation, though I must admit I really enjoyed all the stories when you came back. ;) I would just love to meet you (and go on vacation with you ;)). Yes, I have noticed there are a few subjects you feel strongly about, but you never initiate the thread, you only post your response to it, you always keep it positive, and you never argue just for the sake of argument -- is that in any way controversial?? NO WAY!!! Your such an awesome person with a truly wonderful spirit that is so bright and strong that it shines through to each of us via the internet. Anyone who has taken the time to read your posts can see and feel that! Love ya Girl!! :D :D |
Villette, You are not controversial. You are one of the most helpful and informative YT members. You say what you mean and mean what you say and for that I appreciate the wealth of information you so graciously share with all of us yorkie luvvers. I do not post a lot, and have tried to stay from all the negativity in the last few weeks, but I did want to tell you that I appreciate you. Thanks for all you do! |
Villette, I think you just have really awesome opinions you share with us. I dont think you are "controversial". I like that you share your wonderful knowledge with us here at YT:heart to |
