Long over due Appology !!
 

As much as I hate to bring this up again, I must in order to make a public apology to Sariah and to the YT community and to those I hurt by my poor judgment.

My deepest apologies to Sariah and the YT community. I really had not intended on anyone getting hurt by my actions. Sadly I was wrong. I have had one very long week to reflect on my actions and this was not in any way a pleasant experience for me and I can imagine for Sariah either.

In my defense I honestly felt as if this person was not who she said she was and that they were not here for the right reasons. That they had only used the Internet photos to lie about having a Yorkie and might be only to cause trouble. Most of you who know of me and who interact with me here on YT know that I do not like conflict that regardless of how my times I find myself on the other end on a heated conversation and someone assumes the worse about me that I normally deal with it in a respectful way. But this time it was all me, I assumed the worse about someone, jumped to conclusions and took it way too far about something that was totally unfounded. I for one knows how that feels and wouldn't ever want to cause anyone that sort of hurt. I totally agree, I should have handled it differently, defiantly more respectfully and I am sorry if I hurt anyone by my actions and I deeply regret the childish name calling. It was totally uncalled for and I really am truly sorry.

I have such deep regrets in even starting the thread. I simply went with my gut feeling and as you all can see it was my mouth and not my gut feeling that has me here today with the most sincere apologies to you all.

I can see now that actions really do speak louder that words and that I took my rant a little too far. It just goes to show you that we are all human, that we made mistakes. What makes us different from others is how we own up to them and can be human enough to make it right. I did say that if I was wrong that I would own up to it .....well I was wrong. . . And this is Me" owning up to it . . And I do hope that Sariah and the YT community can forgive me. I am not a bad person I just made an honest mistake and I hope that you all can look past it and welcome me back. I would really hate to loose the friendships that I have gained here on YT over my own stupidity and lack of good judgment. I know that some of you were hurt and shocked by my actions and I can understand why, please forgive me.

:) I am sorry to!! Are we Friends again?

Live - Learn - Love YORKIES :friendsh:

Welcome back dawn, You were missed. It must have been an awful week for you. I am so addicted now that I would've went crazy! Your apology was eloquent, well said. Have fun catching up on a weeks worth of YT threads. :) So glad you're here!

I haven't a clue what you are talking about and don't want to know. However, I know I have made many, many mistakes throughout my 60 yrs. and know I will make many more. Thank the Lord my friends, family and others have forgiven me lots. Kudos on your apology and welcome back to YT.

For not knowing what this was about that is a very remarkable statement :D :winky:

Welcome back Dawn! Maybe YT is becoming a kinder gentler place :p

Welcome back Dawn, it takes a big person to admit their mistakes and try and do better. I hope we can all put this behind us and move forward.

I don't really understand either but, being 55 I've made planty of mistakes myself.
That was a well written and heartfelt apology. Welcome back!

Welcome back!

Welcome back Dawn. Your appolgy was very well written and heartfelt. Life is always a learning experience. Especially when it comes to relating to others. We get better and better at it as we age. ;)

Welcome back Dawn :)

Welcome back, Dawn. Everybody makes mistakes and not one of us here hasn't at one time or another crossed a line or made mistakes, here and elsewhere.

Welcome back Dawn. You were missed. I'm so glad to see this- it takes a good person to own it and try to make it right. ( speaking from personal expierence) We all make mistakes and do things that sometimes dont make sense- we are all human and should be treated as such.

Glad you are back- you will need another week just to catch up. :p

Welcome back. :)

Amen to this!!!

Welcome back.

Welcome back!

Welcome back, Dawn!! :)

Welcome back, Dawn! :)

Welcome back, Dawn :)

My mom always says: "We, as humans, make mistakes. But what makes us greater is being able admit what we did wrong and being able to for forgiveness."
Also being able to forgive and forget :)

I'm glad you are back, and just like you, some of us where having doubts about the whole situation ;)
But it's all clear now :)

Welcome back you were missed

Welcome back Dawn!

how does the quote go??

"he who lives in a glass house should not throw stones".... I think it means we can not put you down (throw stones) unless we are perfect ourselves (live in glass houses). Well...I know I'm close :rolleyes: (just kidding--I am so far from perfect i not on the same planet) ..you are human and make a very heart felt apiology.

Welcome back

Well said!

Dawn, I respect you SO very much for writing this heartfelt message. I think it takes a person of courage and wisdom and maturity to make apologies that truly mean something. You're a great person, my friend! And I can't tell you how glad I am that you're back now :).

Thanks so much, It's Good to be Back !

You all don't know how meaningful all of your post welcoming back means to me. I am sitting here in tears right now. I really didn't know what to expect and I know there are those who were glad to be rid of me even for a short time. :D

I don't know any one who was"glad to be rid of you" for any length of time.

Never! All of us members are a very important piece to the Yorkie Talk puzzle. ;)

You have impressed me with your humanity and willingness to take responsibility! Mistakes and forgiveness are the two key pieces of being human. You have no idea the wonderful things I have learned from you since I joined YT. So glad you are back:D

Dawn we've had so many 'imposters' here before, that I'm sure it was an honest mistake on your part! I try to never get involved with any drama here (its not that hard actually!) so I think your apology was very sincere and as long as I_wuv_yorkies forgives you then I think noone else needs to carry it any further!

Welcome back! :)

And since she was the VERY FIRST PERSON to respond to this post, I personally think all is well. :D:D
