omg these people, where are they coming from..where ever it is they need to go back.....

this is rediculous!
princess pia is a doll baby

isnt there a way to google the screen name and maybe see who it is by other posts they have made or something? kinda like putting 2 nd 2 together?

kalina82 · 07-14-2007, 07:43 AM

what is going on here with people on YT? i have to wonder if this is the same person who is harassing everyone. They have nothing better to do then stir up trouble and bother other people. I'm glad you found the humor in it and are not letting it bother you. I'd just shrug it out and figure them for an idiot. Based on all the other stuff that's been going on i can't see this email coming from a child or someone with a disability.

Oh for Pete's sake!!!!!!!!!!! What is going on with the board lately?! What a rude and completely uncalled for email! *Sigh*...I am so sad that these weird things are happening to people. What in the world did this person think that she and "her girls" (whatever that means) would gain from harassing you??!! I just do not see the enjoyment in this.

You didn't have anything to prove to that person, but I guess now she can see it with her own eyes. You should some how figure out how to block her emails from coming to you. I don't like that people are getting others personal info and using it to hurt them.

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently watched a silly video called "Mean Girls". What is going on with the pm's and emails so much reminds me of the silliness that was going on in that video.

If I am not terribly mistaken, there are ways to discover where emails come from. I think we need to get the really techky people here to work finding out the identity of the person(s) wreaking havoc with the members on thsi site and at the very least expose them.

I told my hubby a little about what has been happening on here lately and he actually said something like what you are suggesting. Surely there has to be a way to figure it out....

I have no idea if I can track this person down or not. They sent me an email from a yahoo account. I would assume they just created this account to email me and it isn't their personal one. I was talking with my friend who is really good with stuff like this, and he said contacting my internet provider would be the best idea. However, since it did come from a yahoo account, the chances of it being traced are slim to none. I don't believe an IP address could be traced this way. I'm not positive about this, and I'm definately looking into it.

Holly_QD · 07-14-2007, 08:17 AM

I've pretty much had it with the drama on YT. I used to come here to get away from the drama that sometimes surrounded me outside of YT and now I have to get off my computer to "breathe". I don't know what's going on. But I have an idea. None of these people have had the "nerve" to post on here. Now, we have been known to go after scammers and try to destroy their ploys against innocent people. This email is a perfect example of the all too notorious bad grammar and disoriented thoughts. Some of these scammers have come on here so they know the lingo as far as yorkie yakker and how all of us stick behind eachother. I didn't want to put it out there. But guys. Let's Ignore. I know it's hard. There have been so many posts where I am half done with my reply and discard it altogether because of this very theory. Guys, again, this is just a theory. But I still think that whether it's someone in or outside of our little community, we should just ignore and move on to the next thread. There are too many of us and we've been here too long to let these few drive us away. Just a thought. Dina_Nichole, didn't mean to hog your thread.

Nikki+2 · 07-14-2007, 08:44 AM

I'm sorry but that email was hilarious! It is unbelievable that someone spent time thinking and discussing the size of another person's dog and then actually took the time to set up an email account to write an email to let you know about it. Wow, this person must have a very exciting life!

I don't know what's going on around here lately either but I love your posts and love looking at pictures of you beautiful babies and I'm glad you aren't letting some pathetic stranger stop you. The picture on the scale was perfect. Now maybe this person can get Pia out of her mind and have some peace!

JeanieK · 07-14-2007, 08:44 AM

Apparently the ignorance being displayed on YT as of late, has reached epidemic proportions.

However, there is a cure for this. It is called "education."

So for all of you ignorant posters, I prescribe a high dose of education ASAP.

bornnygurl · 07-14-2007, 08:47 AM

Wow, Dina I am so sorry. What is up with people lately? The pettiness and back-stabbing is mind baffling. You can in fact trace this person through their IP address to find out who they are, but it's not full proof. If the person is comp savvy, which I doubt they are, they can change it.

Anywho, I digress; I agree that ignoring is sometimes the best way to go. If they know they are getting to you it can add more fuel to the fire. I had no idea YT had an ignore button until recently and I'm making quite good use of it.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I guess chalk it up to jealousy. I guess to some the smaller the Yorkie the bigger the status symbol. I myself don't understand this theory because I do agree that the smaller they are the more work they are. As said previously, it is so nothing to brag about.

Oh and please don't stop posting pictures of your babies. I love seeing pictures of them and in my opinion you are not posting enough, lol.

Yorkieluv · 07-14-2007, 08:52 AM

Wow...Seriously, what goes through people's minds?? I love your Princess Pia and all your babies, why would anyone question you?
I'm so glad that you're able to laugh it off

LOL Once you think about it, it really is hysterical that someone is so preoccupied with something as minute as that. LOL!

daisy mae06 · 07-14-2007, 09:00 AM

OMG this is insane!

you know I have been thinking There was a member I wont sat his name Banned how every many times. Do you think it could be this JERK that is ruffling everyones feathers???
I guess I can say I hope it is something like that because If it is a reular poster then I would be even more upset.!

Dina Your Babies are so sweet as are you

. and who ever sent the Email is
garbage

Tink's Mom · 07-14-2007, 09:24 AM

For crying out loud! Did someone leave a gate from hell open or something.

I wish they'd leave you all alone. What purpose does all this garbage serve. None.

If that's how some people get their joy then their lives must be living nightmares. How awful for them to be so miserable that this is how they find joy.

genie · 07-14-2007, 09:39 AM

I think that whoever sent you that e-mail is really a sad person to sit around and "talk" with the others about the size of your baby. I think that what you wrote back to her (or him) was so funny. I also wonder like someone else mentioned if this could be the notorious idiot that has been banned. I also wonder if it could be the same person that e-mailed Brooke's breeder....

TootiesMom · 07-14-2007, 09:42 AM

SOME PEOPLE!
I am not a very big "yakker" here on YT but I LOVE being here.. all of this crazy stuff lately is very disheartening to me... but I WILL NOT LEAVE!
I agree, ignoring is the best policy and chances are, it is all the same person..
dina, your babies are beautiful....
