I also left out other people's private emails to me where they told me this person was harrassing them too. I also left out how they are creating fake emails to look like they are from yahoo absuse dept. This person is sick, mean and nasty.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore -- you my dear are an angry person who doesn't know the difference between a proper cause and creating a problem/cause to make yourself feel better.<BR/><BR/>If you want to fight go somewhere else, to someone else's blog.

I have read many a post from you were you are upset about this or that person and how you feel they treated you. While never mentioning the reason behind your hurt feelings at the moment you write about them and we are always supportive of you. If you don't like these types of posts that is fair but I have to write what is happening in my life from my POV in the way I need to get it out.<BR/><BR/>As it turns out with this person...I have been in contact with the list owner on Yahoo...which is not a blog BTW. She and I are in total agreement that this person is nuts. They have taken something and made it into something it isn't. THEY brought in all kinds of cultural issues and made nasty comments about American, the French etc...things I didn't post because it would have been way too long a post. <BR/><BR/>Then they went further and broke into my account and sent a remove request as if from me to the group and I got an email asking me if I wanted to leave or not and to respond. Then they made a fake abuse report to look like it was from Yahoo but the full header showed it was really from them.<BR/><BR/>I also got an email from another list member telling me that when they had a disagreement about raw cat food this same person started and continues to this day to harrass them.<BR/><BR/>I made comments in this post to bring about a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Perhaps I didn't translate it well enough. But I did my best. Sometimes my posts will be fun and funny and other times they will be political etc...read the ones you like. <BR/><BR/>I still love you.A New Yorkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997572457756451648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742667886912606708.post-65066828211014154272008-07-20T16:45:00.000-04:002008-07-20T16:45:00.000-04:00I know you have very strong opinions about various...I know you have very strong opinions about various topics Lauren but some people just want to blog to have fun, as a release from their normal every day lives. <BR/><BR/>Personally I would rather stay out of things like that. That may be seen as complacency, apathy or indifference but I get enough trouble in my own life without looking for it. Blogging is supposed to be enjoyable. If you start venturing into slanging matches with people that negates the whole purpose and only causes you high blood pressure.<BR/><BR/>I'd just walk away. There are some fights where there is never going to be a successful outcome.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339140046788925506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742667886912606708.post-10647337068013118522008-07-19T22:23:00.000-04:002008-07-19T22:23:00.000-04:00Babs, OMG LOL.

My mum had a French speaking mother and English father.<BR/><BR/>I have never been to America and I've only been to France once or twice. I have to say that I did find some of the French people rather rude. It is also a fact that many people say the Americans are a bit 'gushing'. By that, they mean too nice. We British are told that we are too 'stiff upper lip' and don't show our emotions easily. This is true of us.<BR/><BR/>Please understand that these are not my personal opinions. I am trying to bring some sort of 'understanding' here.<BR/><BR/>Whilst this person may have seemed very rude. To him (being French) he wasn't, and possibly felt your remarks unfounded. You (being American) saw it as extremely rude and hurtful, whilst we (British) would possibly have ignored it completely ha ha!<BR/><BR/>We are all different, and react differently to stuff.<BR/><BR/>I have noticed marked differences in this area with people I have know from countries around the world. We are all very different.<BR/><BR/>Hope you didn't mind me giving my penny worth (2 cents worth) <BR/><BR/>By the way. I think that what he said was very rude too. Being British, and unemotional, I wouldn't have gotten involved :O)Babs (Beetle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06172908857369441800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742667886912606708.post-78184559015601154512008-07-19T17:26:00.000-04:002008-07-19T17:26:00.000-04:00Drowsey, Actually the poster brought up the nation...Drowsey, Actually the poster brought up the nationality of France first. CONTEXT is very important. That poor person asked an honest question and was told "use your brain" and then continued on to tell that person basically how stupid they are to pay so much how it is in FRANCE, so much cheaper.<BR/><BR/>I recieved emails off list from supporters who told me how this person is very abusive and to be careful and that they too have been in this person's wrath.<BR/><BR/>And what's even funnier is that they just now escalated this to yahoo themselves and tried to make claims I said things about France etc...when I found the post that THEY wrote saying I agree the French are rude and nasty, and letting me know they are living there but really Belgium.<BR/><BR/>I at no point said any such things. I told them that they could take that nasty attitude BACK TO FRANCE where it belongs. I didn't say you snotty French or the French are rude now did I?<BR/><BR/>YEAH YEAH YEAH...I'm ready for your retort.<BR/><BR/>I just sent Yahoo abuse all their nasty emails especially the one where they threatened me with giving out my email if I contacted them only to get ANOTHER email to me, not me to them saying what you saw in my post at the end. SICK SICK PERSON.<BR/><BR/>OH-- no they didn't send that photo. I thought it was funny.

Funny that you say to ignore him because that is exactly what I wrote to the moderators today after that last email...that no matter what that person writes on the boards I will not read them further no stay in that negative energy, or respond in any way.<BR/><BR/>As for Sadie, it's a wait and see issue. FIV is the same as HIV, well sort of. From what I have read so far it's not as bad in cats. Some develop a lot of problems but it seems more do not at all. So I am hopeful. Since it's not something that can spread from feline to humans and is very hard to spread cat to cat while initially I was concerned, I no longer am. I am concerned about the Vet bills I incurred up to know figuring all this out...but someway I will pay it off. <BR/><BR/>You've been so helpful. Thank you.

Don't let some socialist jerk spoil your joy. <BR/>BTW, I found it funny he said Arabs hate us. Right now, Arabs, specifically Muslim Arabs are over running France.
