I LOVE your [sarcasm] [/sarcasm]

Unless Lisette herself sent you a pm saying she was upset by it, $#@% 'em.

I can make a sailor blush with my mouth. Sorry.

No disrespect to her I do not know her personally but will add, if you don't want people to know your business, don't put it on the internet.

In cases of private pages, forums, correspondence I see where feelings get hurt.
I have fellow YTers on my FB page and wouldn't want some of my personal information given out-however a condolence thread over the death of a family member-well that's an act of kindness, pure & simple.
Please, I'm apparently the queen of rude with a heart of concrete I was told by someone, anyways I can spot rude a long ways away, if that was rude I need to reevaluate my perception of reality.

Why would you leave because someone didn't like your post?

Again I said $#@! 'em

Rude & disrespectful is talking out of turn on someone else's emotions & responses...and censorship...again I can make a sailor blush.

shodanusmc, if you leave who is going to post randomly concise insightful crazy nonsense on threads that need it?:D

You're old LOL...I just saw that...yep you are...too old to give a shi!t about silly people and their pm nonsense!

Steve, My opinion is that Lissette is going to feel honored that you care enough about her to let her YT friends know what a sad and difficult time she is facing with the death of her father. Hugs to you.

You said it perfectly! I agree 1000%. I am new to YT but I know loving & caring people when I see them & I've seen nothing but that in many posts I've read on YT! Steve, please don't change the good, caring & loving person you are because of that one person's cruel pm to you. They are saying your rude while myself & many others on YT find that they were extremely arrogant & also speaking out of turn. It is not their place to even make that decision, it's Lisette's & I'm quite sure that she will be nothing but grateful for all of the prayers & support through this very difficult time. All of us good, kind & compassionate people must stick together & stay strong so that there remains more peace then war in this sometimes cruel world. So please stay with YT & continue to touch all of our lives with your love, wisdom & most important, your good intentions!

I am known to say what I think without the concern of others so i pondered over posting my opinion, but you pretty much said what was on my mind. I hope the person thinks before they send another PM like this one. As a "newbie" " youngster" " young upstart" or "little whippersnapper" ( had to throw that one in) I do not believe the person should have attacked someone in this way. Agree to disagree or mind your own business.

Steve, if you leave how will we get our Spice Boys updates? I thank you for posting about Lissette's Dad so that we can offer our condolences. This was already public info since it was posted-it wasn't something made up.

I think you what you posted was fine.

As others have said the only person who has a right to say something to you is Lissette.

In my opinion you bring a lot of value to Yorkie Talk, you're always honest in your posts and offer good advice.

Makes me kind of glad I don't get a lot of PM's.

After all you're a Marine. You have thick skin. Let it roll off. Shes an a$$ for even thinking of pm'ing you.

And....we love our spice boys!!!!

Anyone who has served our country so that my kids can sleep tonight safely is alright in my book !!

My feelings exactly. If I don't want something known, I just won't put it out there. Shoot... my family still doesn't know my BF and I broke up or that I got a new job. I didn't plaster it on FB. My YT family knows. :)

I do agree though, if you know of something personal, and that person didn't post it anywhere on the web, but a second party did, I'd be offended too. I'm a private person, and I hate when other people post, talk, email about my business. All of my mom's friend's who I don't know know my business. It drives me crazy! But if I posted it publicly, well then... It's out there because of me.

steve.. please do not get upset over something said by a person who doesn't know what they are talking about. The rude pm doesn't have value!!!

Steve don't you dare go anywhere just because someone dont like something you posted. If they don't like it, they don't have to read the posts. I am tired of people running others lives because they dont like something they said or posted.

This is why I keep coming back to YT is because of the people here especially the ones that have been here a good while. I have met alot of sweet and nice people and feel like ya'll are family. It is too bad that some other people don't feel that way. It is their loss.

:yeahthat:

i love ya grandpa steve and i think you are the sweetest guy and only would do something with everyone's best interest at heart. who cares about some person who doesn't know you that well to know how sweet you really are. ignore them because they are obviously wrong and have no idea what they are talking about.

Nooooo......I read that post the other day and thought to myself, "How thoughtful".

Well I am the one who sent that PM. I lost my Father in 2002, I am a little sensitive to this subject. If you wanted to go this route why didnt you send the whole PM- You left out how rude you were to me.

I don't really care what people think of me, I know I am a good person, I do a lot for my family and friends. The thing that bothers me is death is personal- if it was you that lost someone you would have the right to post where ever and what ever, but it wasn't .I think something like that should be posted by family, not copied from a friends face book. I know people post a lot of things on FB, but that does not give any friends of that person the right to copy and post it somewhere else, esp a subject this tender. That is all I was getting at and you had to take it to the next level, you should have let it be. Maybe you had to get some sort of support to feel better as to what you did-I have no idea..

You starting this thread to me is disrespectful. I don't understand why you would. That is just me.

People have the right to have their own opinion in this world. If I am a bad person for stating my opinion in this "YT world" that is fine with me. I will never not say what I feel in my heart.



Lisette- I do apologize for this- If I knew he would post a thread on this I would have let it be. I had no ill intensions with this- I want you to know that deep down -I am sorry for the loss of your Father, I know it is a very hard thing to deal with. My prayers and condolences are with you and your family.

How do we all know that she didn't ask Steve to post this for her? I don't do facebook cuz I'm not that computer savy. I'm not sure how it works.
I mean it's not like he posted her very personal info. Her dad died and posting it on here to tell all her yorkie friends would give her some support from us in this terible time in her life. I really don't see the big deal. Like I said I don't have facebook, I don't want the world to know my business. But that's me. But if you post something on there than it is out there for the world to see. right?? Anyway I think it should have been up to lissette to say something to him if she was upset about him posting something about her that she didn't want out there. jmo

There is no reality that exists in this world......only perception....true,true...nobody needs to get sooo upset that they get ugly. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I do not care much for people who pride themselves on meaness....or who think they are "tough". I'm a school teacher...and I crack open "CONCRETE" hearts all the time. They are NEVER tough...Just have a bad case of needing to feel important and better than others. My most needy kids are the most tough acting and harshly judgemental of others.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my Mother 4 years ago, and my Dad 10 years ago. I lost a 17 year old daughter over 15 years ago. I have seen more death as a teen than most will see in a lifetime. Yes, I have lost, and I wanted Lissettes frioends to know on here that are not on FB. You do not need to lecture me. You can post my reply for everyone top read. It was a reply to your original PM to me. BTW, I lost my 12 YEAR old Cane Corso 2 days ago. Glad to see you have me on ignor. Now please, just leave me be, and you will notice, I did not mention your screen name one time, and yet I even posted that I hope you get your little dog the help it needs. Even a senile old man can see that he does.

I didnt know it was you. You were just concerned your not someone who just starts trouble for the sake of it. Steve is a personal friend of Lissettes so I can see why he posted it. Im sorry for my earlier post

Steve, you are a friend of Lissette as am I; and I can tell you that I would be shocked to hear that she did not want that posted. She has always been an open book on YT and I think it will please her to know that so many people are thinking of and praying for her.

I don't DO Facebook, so I quite easily could not have known about it had it not been for you and others who contacted me.

Thank you for caring so much about all of us....even in the midst of your own personal pain with Carlo failing as he was at that time.

Amen ;)

No need to apologize- I have no hard feelings with anyone.

Well, from anothe perspective ~ I lost my Mom in 2001. I could use all the support and well-wishes I could get. It would not have upset me for someone to mention it on YT.

Once it has been mentioned on FB - I would assume that the message in out there is cyberspace and ok to repeat.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Anyone could easily see how much you loved your CC by your posts here.
I had never heard of one before, after reading your post & seeing your pics I had to Google & learn more.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I guess it's just all a matter of personal opinion and how each person handles things.

I lost my 5 year old brother in 2006 and that was before FB but I did have a MySpace and posted about it. I really appreciated all of the support and comments. It did not take the pain away, but it helped.

Also, sometimes if I want to post something quickly, I'll write it on FB because it's really easy to do from my iPhone. I don't usually post on YT because it can be too annoying to do from my phone. So, for example, when Jackson was in the hospital, I updated from my FB and I wouldn't have cared if a YT friend posted on here for me (not that it's the same as the death of a parent) but I guess that's just the kind of person I am.

Anyways, I just pray that Lisette is doing as best as she can be. RIP to her wonderful father.

I feel there is a lot of emotion building up in this thread.

I can understand the feelings of those who have lost loved ones as I have lost a wife and daughter.

I ask all not to allow emotion to run away with our postings and remember we are all entitled to our opinions and feelings.

This thread could so easily turn sour and end up really upsetting people when there is really no need for that.

Make your feeling known by all means but please can we keep it civil and friendly.

I just feel it could get out of hand and that would be so wrong.

I am a very close friend of Lissette, in fact I am puppy sitting one of her dogs while she is away. I agree with ladyjane, I will be shocked if Lissette is upset by Steve's thoughtful gesture. She knows very well, if there is anything that you want to keep private you don't post about it on any website. Steve, you did nothing wrong and simply beat me to the punch with your original post. So it could have just as easily been me who received the unnecessary PM.

Hey girl! Nice to see you here on YT! :D

Comparing YT to FB is apples to oranges. On FB you have friends...real friends...people you actually know AND you have control over settings of how you wish to share and with whom. YT is a public forum off thousands of strangers. While I understand some friendships are here, there are also thousands of strangers able to view these public posts.

I confess to being more than a little surprised by the responses of members on this thread. I wonder if a newbie or less known member had started the same thread if the response would have been different... With it being Steve, we assume (probably rightly so) that his heart was in the right place and that his intention was a kind one. And maybe those of you that know Lissette well, believe that she would appreciate the gesture and subsequent emotional support/thoughts offered.

But when looking at just the process... Is it ok for someone to obtain someone else's personal information on one forum and chose to share it on another, without their consent? My answer would still be no.
