Donna...seriously I should be the last person to comment anything in her defense, bc my last exchange with Taylor was me begging her to stop harassing me over my dog's death with her insensitive badgering questions and stalking me on different social media...but come on. every single ge you have been in, there is always something you find to complain about. You always act like some snooty rich great-Aunt that doesn't allow anyone to sit on her furniture and you believe your 1950s etiquette is the only way people should post. You almost make people feel ashamed of themselves. It's so off putting that I stopped participating in GEs for fear that if I got you as my buddy, you would embarrass me if I weren't up to par. This is NOT why the GE was started. You need to ask yourself why you participate. The TRUE reason. And why you feel the need to dictate how a GE goes. You're the one encouraging new people by saying "oh you shouldn't feel intimidated, x and y isn't necessary, it's all extra" but in the same breath you put "BUT even though the rules say it isn't necessary, it really IS, to the GE thank you police".

But honestly I try to avoid interacting with drama...because it stresses me out unnecessarily. I don't need drama on a dog forum. Yall don't either. Maybe you both should step back from yorkietalk or at least the GE, or just ignore each other. If it's been going on for this many years you might do better to just ignore each other completely so no one is starting these overly dramatic threads and making the GE look bad to outsiders.

[quote=AllDogBoots;4567297]my thoughts exactly, after all Yorkie Talk is is not a self help forum and most people post assuming that the person that is addressing them or that they are addressing is capable of holding their own on the forum and does not need to be handled with kid gloves. By now I know all about her but it is sad to see her battle with someone that does not know and then when the going get's tough the autisim card gets played, that makes the new poster feel bad and it's not fair.

Someone made light of your disability/being unemployed? Why would you be expected to put on a happy show? Everyone on this forum goes through daily b.s. From husband's dying, divorces, sick kids, bills, annoying family members, etc. They don't get cut any slack when they post something out of line, but I've continuously seen members treat you with kid gloves when if you were ME per say those gloves would have been torched. Maybe it's just my interpretation because you have treated me the same way you have Donna. The only difference is, you've never had me close to tears because NO ONE makes my mascara run. It could be the Caribbean in me, but excuses for repeated behavior is bs. You(Taylor) and I are the same age, excuses for our behavior ran out a looooong time ago. If you felt you put your all in the GE, screw what anyone else thinks how you should have handled it because you don't answer to them. Now I'm off to eat my chocolate/toffee covered pineapples

You were one of the people I sent a pm to apologizing. The last day or two I have been trying to post better and word things better. I do have issues which sometimes make my words seem blunt and that is my disability but I am trying now after having my break. Maybe not an excuse but I had a lot of things going on and yes I took it out on here. I have pmed several people and am trying and that is all I can do.
