Okay, I need to post something because it's been really, really bothering me.

Theresa and Riley, it's inexcusable that you both did not receive a proper thank and smilebox that you both deserved. It's completely not fair, and I pray that one bad experience does not prevent you from participating again in the GE. They're so much fun, and I think it really gives everyone a chance to get closer to YT members.

With that being said, I honestly cannot say that I agree with banning, suspending, or accusations that Deb did this with malicious intentions.
As most of the GE participants know, Deb and Annie participated in the last GE, and from my observations, they both had a wonderful time and there were no problems.
It states in her message that Annie had swallowed RX drugs, to me that a serious problem. One, that to be honest would have me more focused on my dog than YT. However, that does not excuse a quick PM, message, notification to anyone what's going on. So, for that I know Deb owes Theresa and Riley a heartfelt apology.

I pray that this one circumstance does not prevent you Theresa or Riley from participating, or from Deb and Annie May being banned or shunned from YT.
Like I stated above, I think this was a family emergency that truly needed her attention. Did she handle it the best way? Absolutely not, but it's really hard for me to judge her actions when I'm not in her position.
Just like it's hard for me to judge how I'd feel, Theresa if I was in your shoes.
