Oh Great! ALL the "Donation to Roxyluvsme13" threads have been DELETED!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Who's behind the Mass Deletion of all the threads about Roxyluvsme13 and
her Quest for Donations to fund her animals' health and well being?

I have my doubts that Mayor Karen "removed" them all -
she'd be more inclined to hang a padlock but leave the postings for reference.

I don't remember who started them all, but only the Starter and Karen can delete threads.

Once again, I register my dislike for this method of covering up what one or two
people don't like to see in writing.
A lot of Good People wrote very sincere and well thought out postings to those now missing threads.
Deleting Threads is NOT Cool!

As several folks pointed out in the most recently missing Rokyluvsme13 thread ~
Be Cautious who you offer your hard-earned donations to ...
those donated dollars are not always well spent.

I spent 10 minutes composing a rebuttle to her latest excuses to have the thread yanked out from under me, to me its just totally disrespectful. Her whole attitude is give me the money and shut up. I wanted the 90 dollar outfit, none of your damned business I "deserve" it.

ugghhhhh...this is anoying!! why erase something just because people are voicing their opinions??

b/c it wasn't what she wanted to hear -
She wanted to hear - oh sure we'd love to donate - AGAIN.
like the ATM ya know - I have more to say on this subject
but I have a feeling that THIS thread's going to be deleted so I'm not going to waste my time - PM me if your that interested.
I was just given the suggestion by a smart person -
that maybe the thread should be put back up and padlocked - so that in a month and she's asking for money again - we can bring it back up...

Sounds like a good idea to me. It is starting to feel like a scam and I feel like her Mom is talking her into preying on the sympathetic animal lovers of this board.

I totally agree - b/c of her comment - My mom 'refused' to allow me to spent it on the animals - buy something for yourself she said - what about all the POTC stuff? - she threw a fit when her mom said she was going to get RID of the animals - why not throw a FIT for the same thing?
I know a lot of people think 'she's a child- leave her alone - its her mom's decision' but I think in this case - she knew full well what she was doing.

I'm sorry, but I don't see why there's a need for this thread. This would be better done by PM for those that wish to b*tch, in my own personal opinion.

Of course, I have been away from PT for the past week so I cannot comment on anything that has happened in that time, but whatever uproar has resurfaced itself in this very tiresome situation certainly does not need to be stewed over any more than necessary.

I really hope we can bury this arguement once and for all.

Which is why I never gave any money. This one just didn't feel right.

I have a feeling that THIS thread's going to be deleted,
so I'm not going to waste my time -

THIS one sure won't be *deleted* by ME - Mr. Adverse-to-Deletions!


I think there are enough of us on PT that HAVE been taken advantage of over the years,
that the situation deserves to be discussed - in a Calm and Polite way.

I haven't been on for a few days, so I must have missed the latest request for donations thread. Did Bri make another thread saying that she got a $90 outfit? Sorry, I did read through this thread, but I missed quite a bit of the story and got confused.

I honestly think that Bri and her mom need some counseling. It just seems like one thing after another (or is it just me? ). One day they don't have the money to pay the electric bill so the electricity gets cut off, the next she is going to see POTC three times in the theater and asking people to buy all kinds of POTC items on ebay for her (with her paying them back) since she's not old enough to have an account. I understand she is young, and that she has a lot to learn, but her it seems as though her mother is not doing her any favors. IMO the pets need to be rehomed.

What's going to happen if one of the unspayed dogs gets a pyometra? That's a $2,000 or more surgery that could be prevented with a $100 spay. Will they just be PTS?

So for $10 more from that $90 outfit she got, it could have spayed a dog.

[Vela]

Actually the prices for small dogs wasn't even that high at the low cost shelter near her home. She could have had Lilly or Skye spayed and all caught up on shots for that outfit. She could have had Roxy's shots done with the money she spent on seeing POTC more than once. It's all about priorities when living things depend on you.

I have been trying to stay on top of all of the threads, and I have rarely, if ever posted. I have to say that I have been disgusted with what I have seen/read in Bri's posts, but I had to keep reminding myself that she is only a child. And sadly, it appears that she is a child whose Mother has no financial responsibility.

I know that Bri has made some poor choices in the past, and I have to admit that I was VERY SURPRISED that, after all of the brohaha from the last thread asking for spay money for her Gizzie, she once again asked for money from PTers.

I am single, working for a non-profit, (read: making very little money! ) but I still manage to help others when I can. Something from the very beginning of this has told me that this is a scam, and I have not made any donations. I am sorry for those who have been taken.

I can only hope that Bri's absence in THIS thread is because she is embarrassed and has learned her lesson. Karen, I agree, she and her Mother need some counseling. But I am not starting a thread asking for donations for their therapy sessions! (my attempt at some levity here)

Great. Back from my brief vacation, and my dear friend, PCB, brougth this to my attention. I. Told. You. So. Come on. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again, and expect different results. This has been going on for so freaking long.

Catty1- the term is "enabler". For those of us that have been on here for years, and heard the saga, the half-truths, the excuses, etc., it is so totally old. "She is a child", "she is doing the best she can", "nice outfit", "good value"- gag me with a spoon. I mean, totally. Your support of her and her situation is ridiculous, and I think indicates a poor choice in judgment on your part.

This is such a shame, for the poor animals involved. The people? Nah...they are making it just the way they want to- lots of crying, whining and excusing. It isn't situational, it is a choice.

No one in that family seems like they DESERVES pets. Yep. I am totally judging them. I would really have a problem if they lived near me, and, as a community of pet lovers, I don't get how anyone could support this behaviour.


I edited my post because Karen asked me too. I love how two faced those of you who cried to her about it are. (Not you, Karen).

May the way Bri and her family treats their pets weigh on YOUR heart.

Happy now?
