Jessica12345

[Karen]

Jessica12345 has been banned from Pet Talk.

We do not know the whole truth of the matters that transpired. We suspect we never will. I gave those responsible many ways and chances to contact me, and they have not.

Even if the whole thing was a hoax, it did prove something:

Pet Talk is a wonderful, caring community. It is a community that cares for animals, yes - but cares for each other as well. The heart of Pet Talk may be a bit bruised right now, but it is a good heart, a strong heart and we will prevail as a community of pet-loving folks, and a place where, while we may disagree about matters as controversial as whether only crazy people sniff their animals' feet, we know we all love our animals, and that every pet - and every human being, too - is special.

Well...

Don't know what to say.

Shouldn't we have given her a chance to say something? Cuz personally, if I came and saw what everyone was saying about me I wouldn't come back either.

Banning wasn't right.

[Uabassoon]

Shouldn't we have given her a chance to say something?

She was given several chances to say something. She also could have said something as soon as she knew what was going on. She has also been contacted privately and she refused to respond.

[RubyMutt]

The whole thing is just so sad. Jessica was such a wonderful member of Pet Talk. It was horrible thinking that she had passed, but now knowing that it was all a hoax is just sickening... I would love to hear an explanation... the TRUTH. The whole thing is just upsetting. Pet Talk is such a wonderful place, it's sad that this sort of thing happened. I stand beside Karen & Paul's decision to ban her... you shouldn't play with peoples' emotions like that.

[catland]

Thank-you Karen and Paul. PT is a place of second and even third chances - but once in a while a person crosses a line one too many times and enough is enough.

PT continues to be a great place. Thank-you for providing this wonderful site. You guys are the best.
:D

You know, if I was in her position I would be scared out of my mind to come back too. I remain on Jessica's side.

[Amber]

I agree. PT is a wonderful place to come too. PT is like a second family to me. We argue. We Laugh. We help each other.
Just like a family does. Im on your side Karen & Paul for bannig her. She shouldnt have ignored this. She should of told the truth of what really happened. But she just letted this happen to her. Oh Well it was her loss~ She lost PT and her Friends.

I agrre with your desicion.

[Kfamr]

She was given many chances to respond to us. No matter what, how scared she was. she could have given us information like she had to PCB. She could have even contacted PCB again and given her info to give to us. She is a liar, she is horrible. She's playing with all of our emotions, remain on "her side" all you want, although I never knew we were taking "sides". I am glad she is gone. I am glad she will never come back.

Good dicision Karen, good job.

[dukedogsmom]

Uh oh, I might be crazy because I have smelled Duke's feet before!! Although, I don't make a habit of it. It's terrible when we get reminded of just how cruel some people can be. I think there's enough good people here to outweigh the bad, though.

I truly care about everyone at Pet Talk. Even if it wasn't her that faked her death, if I were in her position I would immediately get on Pet Talk and explain everything! Pet Talkers (including myself!) were devastated and crying over her death. :mad: ERR... it's so frustrating that a person would do that to such a wonderful group of people.

[allanimalswelcome]

I support you decision 100% Karen.

Ah!! But what is to stop her or him from just signing back on
under a different user name, and fooling us again???

That's easy.

[puppygrrl4eva7]

I agree with karen, she could have cleared things up, instead she sat by read our posts of confusion and made no attempt to straighten things out. But just out of curiousity.... Karen and Paul did you check the IP number?

[Karen]

Yes.

:) GREAT! Thank you Karen, that is a relief.

I hope other multiple name users will
be nipped in the bud too.

[puppygrrl4eva7]

Oh so those messages were posted from her computer then......

[HoRsELUvR]

I wish she had cleared things up,but i am sorry she got banned.If she really did do this,then i agree it was the wrong thing to do.i just wish we could sure about what happened.

[micki76]

Thank you Karen & Paul. :)

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Thank you Karen, a wise decision and we appreciate your thoughtfullness.

Karen, Paul, I back your desicion 100%

[Pam]

I guess then we can say "case closed" and move on. :)

Absolutely. Thanks everyone!

[wolf_Q]

Good descision Karen! She had plenty of opportunity to come and tell us what happened, and she never did!

[Foam]

Very well done. She didn't deserve the privlages Pet Talk gave her.
Now we can all forget this whole thing, leave it in the back of our minds, and get a new fresh start. :)

[moosmom]

ILoveMyAbbyGirl

I'm sorry you have to take sides in all of this. Betrayal of trust is something that is not so easily forgiven nor forgotten. She had MANY chances to explain what happened, both on the site and privately in PM's, yet she chose not to.

I wholeheartedly support Karen and Paul's decision to ban her, and I am glad we can now put this all behind us and move on, both as a family and a community of great people and pets!

Thanks Paul and Karen!

LOL!

I totally understand Karen and Paul's decision to ban Jessica123445 and the IP address from which the messages originated. If this individual had come back quickly to admit their mistakes (and apologised), or explained what had really happened, then perhaps the outcome would be different. But they didn't, and it has to be this way.

However, here's hoping that this person doesn't know how to change IP addresses! I could think of two easy ways but I'm not going to list them here in case a certain someone is browsing the forums as a guest. We just need to be ever vigilant, like Kfamr is!, for sniffing out anything that seems a widdle bit dodgy! Simba and Nala are on the case :D

And finally ... as Pam said ... CASE CCCCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUULOWWWWWWSED!

More on the Frito Feet ... guys, I have to admit, I don't know what Fritos smell like but love the smell of kitty feets!

[lovemyshiba]

Great Job, Karen and Paul.
Who we knew as "jessica" seemed to be a great person, but ended up playing the cruelest joke possible on all of us--I hope he or she gets some professional help.

I'm glad we can finally drop this now, and get back to talking about what we love-----animals!!!!!:)

[ramanth]

Thanks Karen and Paul. :)

[moosmom]

Frito feet???? :confused:

I don't smell Moo's feet, I KISS them! They are the softest of all my cats. :D

[anna_66]

Now we can get back to what we do best..................

TALK ABOUT OUR PETS!

[2kitties]

Great job in a difficult situation.
Hat's off to Karen.

[bluekat]

Thank you Karen and Paul:) I agree with you 100%

Yes, Jessica was given MANY opportunities for explaining, and she never did. I pmed her two times, but never got a reply. She was always on here browsing, but never posted.

About the frito feet, what are they supposed to smell like?
LOL, Blueberry's feet smell like litter in his litter box:p :p :p

AMEN to that! I was ready to listen to her explanation; but by not reacting at all, she ruined that chance, even if it was someone else who did this to her!!

Good decision Karen!

[Randi]

I too think it was the right decision Karen & Paul! Thanks! :)

Enough is enough!!

[Dogz]

Thank you so much Karen! I agree with you 100%:)

I totally agree anna!:D

I would like to thank Karen and Paul for making such a great site. CHEERS!:p

[Albea]

Well done, Karen! You made the right decision, as always.

[Cookiebaker]

One good thing from this whole mess is the outreaching and outpouring of love and care and concern pettalkers have!!! Wow!!!

And I agree that nobody should take advantage of other people's feelings like that and get away with it. Thanks Karen & Paul for keeping this place an enjoyable place to stay! :)

[CamCamPup33]

great thinking karen and paul! now finally we can move on and pettalk will be normal again.. Although we wont forget... Thanks karen and paul for finally ending this!

[PayItForward]

Thanks Karen & Paul :D

I would have listened to an explanation, if one had been forthcoming but it would have to have been, a heck of an convincing excuse.

Back to talking about our beautiful pets

Jenny

PS. I am so proud to read the other Jessica thread and saw the anger & hurt in the earlier pages, dissolved into posts of beautiful pets asking for belly rubs.
It just goes to show that one person can not destroy the good in people and this site.
I couldn't/wouldn't post as I was very angry and by the end of the thread, I was laughing......... I never knew snakes liked belly rubs.:eek:

[Rottieluver45]

I agree w/ the decision to ban her.

[wolfsoul]

Thanks Karen and Paul. :)

I also agree with the decision. Jessica had time to come out and tell us the truth, but she didn't. I believe that if she would have, she may have been let back on. But she didn't.

As for frito feet, I smelled Timber's feet, and they smell like dog? :confused:

I don't smell Moo's feet, I KISS them! They are the softest of all my cats.
Wish I could try that! :eek: Sara would scratch my face off! :eek:

[CamCamPup33]

LOL frito feet! yeah i read the old thread about that.. i told my sister about it shes like YEAHHH they smell like fritos or doritos.. lol :D

yes yes

[carole]

I am in total agreement with karen and Paul's decision.

I really wonder how scared she would be to return, if you can fake your own death , are you really gonna be that scared to face the music, I think not.!!!

A valuable lesson has been learned by everyone, it is time to put the subject to rest, so farewell Jessica or who-ever you are.

Here's to more chatting and laughs over our beloved furry friends.

:) :cool:

P.S A lot of us put nice messages underneath our sig's, like rest in peace etc, just wondered if everyone has remembered to remove them.

Banning wasn't right.


I disagree.
Banning was exactly what was needed. We/You can't be 100% sure that Jessica12345 is EVEN a kid.

Ahhh yes, the joys of the internet. :rolleyes: That's one of my biggest pet peeves on the net.

[gini]

I feel as though I am at some kind of prayer meeting and I need to shout......



AMEN

AMEN

AMEN

[PapillonCrazie!]

Oh, sorry Todd! I thought you were talking about the Frito thing, LOL

[kingrattus]

Karen: That's easy. Me.


Sorry but as soon as I read that I burst out lol.
I was reading the post before & I said in my head, "thats easy", block IP... hehehe

[pitc9]

...I know I know....you guys want to move on and forget all this but I just got caught up here.....

I think you make a wonderful decision to ban that person
....who ever they might be!:eek:

[Steffi N]

I had not posted about this matter, because I did not feel I had anything to add. But I had been hoping that Jessica would come forward and be truthful with us. She had many opportunities to do so. Anyway we are all getting back to the main focus of Pet Talk, pet talk.
I can't detect any odor on Lovable's feet.

[Cookiebaker]

:o I just "checked" Malone's feet, but they just smell like mud. Guess it's time for a bath. :o

[Sevens]

I have also been sniffing Bailey's feet lately, but only for health reasons. She recently had one of her toenails operated on (there's a thread about it in Dog Health). The vet said if it was getting infected, there would be a smell. I keep sniffing her other feet which weren't operated on and then sniffing her bad toe to see if there is a difference.

My husband probably thinks I am losing my mind or something...:rolleyes:

[tomkatzid]

I hope she is OK, and that both her feet, and hands smell good!
Nina's smelled sour today. She swam yesterday and maybe didn't get them all the way dry.
