Jodi,

No one believes the crap they spew. That page is so hateful; it's a joke they are talking about OTHERS being hateful. Perhaps they should review their own FB page and comments.

I do see like 3 whole people posting on there so I wouldn't let it worry me too much what they say.

We know the truth.

She is crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Look what happened to me last night and over the last week, apparently I am somehow on her "list" because I posted the thread about micro mini teacups (breeding dog to be under 1 lbs) and she feels I attacked Collier Ranch so I get not only slanderous lies about me posted all over online but my personal contact information passed out, numerous threatening messages to my FB account, my personal and business emails, and even after I have blocked her Kelly Collier is messaging me...literally nothing about the thread I started had anything to do with either of them-(it's such a joke I got a referral to CR as a Parti breeder and they flip over me being a YT member, passing out my personal information to these crazies who have issue with YT!?(

They felt it did so they began all this insanity...but claim it's all Gayle Collier the bipolar sister who has nothing to do with Collier Ranch Yorkies-she just has access to their sites, FB page, customer information and pretends to represent the business....who calls someone from 1 am to 5 am over anything-let alone this?
It is laughable in the least the slander...but you are very right from my limited experience and events of last night...these people are definitely not playing with a full deck ad the level of their lies, slander and attack does seem very easily dangerous to me...who looks up a stranger and makes things up about them, puts out such effort-over a misconception...

I've given Collier Ranch (kelly) and YTS FB (Karla) 48 hours (hm 38 now) to remove their lies about me...or I will be taken further action, I'm way cheesed off about not only the lies and slander, the sheer level they are willing to go to...over their 'perceptions of being attacked or otherwise' and who and whom is doing this to them.

Jodi,

I'm so sorry you have had to deal with this. You are truly one of the most wonderful people I know. You really care about what is truly best for these little yorkies. The knowledge and advice you have shared over the years has always been in the best interest of the pups and their owners. Your heart has always been in the right place. I can't say that for them.

Yes, someone went into my album and took pictures to post. Collier Ranch who is infamous in her own special way then poked fun of my "jowls" and called Bogey ugly! That's Bogey in my avatar and I think it's beautiful! ;)

I just want to add that I did not post this information to cause drama or look for sympathy. It was only after almost a year of being on the recieving end of nastiness and lies that I felt the need to clear all of this up.

When the FB page was first created I felt they really showed their true colors.

Let me further clear up any other confusion. These women are the behind this horrible page and are ALL BANNED MEMBERS. Most have come back to YT at various times under new Fake Screen Names!

It certainly DOES hurt to be flat out lied on and know that there are some people believing the lies without considering the source when they don't even know you.. I am a firm believer that what goes around comes around so she will get hers one way or the other. You just can't do people wrong without it coming back to bite you so just hang on and watch it come back to her.. i am not on Facebook so I really haven't seen any of it. Just what has been posted here about it.

I sat and read both her thread about poor Mindy and this one before responding and I can tell you. From someone who wasn't part of any of it, it is clear that she has mental issues. I am so sorry you had to endure what you have but anyone with a brain in their head can see she was the one who was a liar and you were just trying to help that poor dog.

Why does this fight need to be here in the General section? Is this what YT is for? Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I don't understand why talking badly about other people or facebook pages has anything to do with General Yorkshire Terrier talk, ? I dont really care what she said or he said or who is "right" or "wrong" or evil or good!! This seems personal between the parties involved, why not deal directly with them?

I don't know anyone involved in whatever this soap opera is about, but don't care to have to read about in the general yorkie talk either.
Why stoop to the same level of the people you so hate by posting all this here?
This is my opinion and wanted to express it, thanks :)

Well what other section should it be in? If you don't want to read it, feel free to skip over it when you see it. I skip over plenty of threads I don't want to read or think they may be in the wrong section.

You beat me to it! I was delayed, pondering the right words to use. Perhaps it is good that you did! :)

I think it's mainly one person having a conversation with herself! :confuse2:

I believe it is important, as I said once I received a referral to a breeder actually off YT, and then talked to them about being a YT member and giving out my personal information it gets posted on that page by these people...along with lies and slander to hurt, harass, and threats; they have serious issues and as someone who was blissfully unaware of it all had no idea that simply talking to a "breeder" and being a YT member would ensue such a fiasco and dangerous actions by these people.

Second, I think it's important because these people have issue with YT over the responses to their posts (it's an open forum how is what people say YT's fault?) they create a page against YT and then continually come back here as newbies and create new accounts to mislead people about various things...its insanity...and I'd really like to save someone having gone through what I personally have over a couple days as well megansmomma and other members for quite some time. Seriously who launches a slanderous campaign against a Yorkie rescue group for trying to help them?

The facebook page has been linked to quite a few different threads the past week or so, and there have been several specific threads about it. Since so many Yorkietalk members have seen the page, perhaps, Jodi wanted a chance to post her side of the story. Rather than just hijacking someone else's thread, she decided to post her own. Some of us wish very much to show support for Jodi, and I don't think I'm stooping to a low level to do so. :confused:

Hmm, how about off topic? I do skip over threads, thank you for the suggestion ;)

I'm sure if Admin or Wylie's Mom feel it would be better there, then they will move it.

I haven't seen the FB page in question. I did not say you are stooping low, please don't twist my post, thank you :)
The way I read it, OP was indicating viscous people were talking about her on FB so why doesn't she post on FB and address it with them? Why stoop to their level and say bad things about them as well? This is what I meant in my post. I won't get involved with this whole thing, as I stated, I applied my opinion to this thread, nothing else. TX
Life is so much more important than worrying about what someone says about you on internet forums/facebook etc.If you are a good person and know it, (you, meaning anyone) and you know your friends, then what is the worry?

It's not just who said she said and a few parites involved......It involves a large percentage of the YT Membership and Yorkie Talk......

In my opinion it isn't an Off Topic Situation it's right where it should be, where everyone can view it.

I respect your opinion, as I respect everyones' right to have one. If you look on facebook you will find hundreds of pages of "I Hate" (insert person, place, thing, idea... etc, here) " and if these people you speak of are posting things hurtful, etc, over there, then they are probably getting just what they want in knowing it has affected said targets (whomever they are speaking about). Why give them that satisfaction?

Everyone (members) can see all forums here. Again, I respectfully disagree with some on this and hold the opposite opinion, No biggy. A large percentage of 75,000 members would be what? :) that might be a little bit of an overstatement in my opinon.

That is the reason that I posted it in the General Forum. There are TWO separate threads going on right now about these people in the General Forum and is directly related to this subject. Not only that but there have been countless "NEW" members that have joined recently posing as "customers" of these same people all being banned. Just today Concretegurl posted that someone PMed her suggesting she purchase a Parti Yorkie from one of these people. It is all very relevant to the issues at hand. If there are members making behind the scene deals then everyone should be aware of what is going on with these people.

Like I have said previously this is NOT about me. This is about the entire YorkieTalk community.

*AprilLove, I am sorry if this is troublesome to you and you disagree with my thoughts and feelings on this subject and I respect your opinion. Thank you~:)

You've stated you didn't like reading this so don't read it.....You can go past this particular thread on this forum, just as easily as you can go past others....

It's a matter of one of a very well respected member's character being maligned and she's setting the record straight......There are those of "us" that chose to support her...

I can understand you're opinion but, you weren't maligned as some us were and have been.

It's relevant because it is a calculated movement to undermine the community spirit of YT and the membership here by ex members who have been banned. This started with Karla and her dog Mindy on these threads.

The facts are these --

Jodi offered help to Karla for Mindy
Karla initially wanted help, later changed her mind
Karla admitted to putting her dog to sleep and many were saddened as a special rehabilitation option was lined up for this dog, and money was in place by YT members for this woman to fly her dog to the east coast.
Karla stated on another dog forum repeatedly that animal control was called by Jodi and another member and many believed this to be true
There were no calls made by Jodi or another member to animal control
Karla persisted, even until today on the FB page to state that they called animal control
No one called animal control - and the public record proves it.

I never needed a public record to prove it, remaining Jodi's friend through all of it, and never questioning her honesty when I asked her if she called animal control. My business logo ended up on their site because I am friends with Jodi but was removed when I notified the FB legal team of the trademark infringement. Others had their photos stolen and posted. Disparaging remarks made about YT members and their families have been going on for months. All because Jodi tried to help save a dog and because the owner wanted to put the dog down rather than take the option available to her (at no cost).

I stand with Jodi 100% and if that means I'm the last one standing, so be it.

:(
 

I'm so sorry you are going through all of this stuff! It is just horrible what some vicious people can do. I hope you know you are valued here. If people won't stand by you, then they were never good friends to begin with. You're well rid of them. Hang in there! I know it must be so hard on you.

I realize some of "you" are supporting a friend, and that's what friends do :). Please do not "tell" me what to read or not, as I would never pay you that discourtesy . I have only responded to those who have chosen to quote me.
Would you not do the same? (rhetorical ;) )

Jodi,

I've got your back girl friend. She's a crazy nutcase and everyone knows it! A person shouldn't worry about other people turning them in so much unless they have a reason to be scared. She's got lots of reasons to be turned in for bad breeding so she's running scared and laying blame on you and everyone else that's against her. It's her being afraid and knowing deep down she's wrong and she's defensive and also nuts!!

Don't worry about it! Thanks for clearing it up and we will always back you and stand by you here!! :D

Btw you are a beautiful woman and Bogey and all the pups are good looking too. Sadie mite have to ask Bogey to the dance next year.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Well said!

:(:(:( I read that thread awhile back. I didn't know she put the little one down... RIP Mindy.

It is important because these "breeders" are bashing the YT community as a whole and spreading slanderous lies. I think it is important for people to know what type of people they are dealing with when they go to make a puppy purchase. I personally would NEVER want to buy a pup from people who conduct themselves in such a cruel and unprofessional manner. It is all a testament of their character, which buyers should be aware of.

I just want to go on record as saying although I support Yorkie Haven Rescue, they are not blackmailing me to do so. :D

You won't be standing alone.


:thumbup:

They didn't just post my information, they researched YorkieTalk and posted ADMINS information and "address" as well. The last Christmas Card list was passed around to members of that FB page. This is so much more far reaching than just Megansmomma.

It's about the community that we all love~YorkieTalk.
