To Lut - we'll miss you.

[micki76]

Whoa!

I heard about this through the grapevine. How sad.

[lovemyshiba]

Just my opinion, but I thought the messages she and Niina posted were incredibly rude. Lut's not so much, she just asked not to post about anything but her pets, but Niina's was downright hurtful.

I am sorry I took 5 minutes of my time to even post there.

Just goes to show how well we really don't know someone.

[captain]

I don't think I know who Nina is ....... and am quite glad really!

How rude! I hope they remove my post.

As for Nina's comment in Dutch - as to how this makes THEIR guestbook look ........... yes, really nice until she posted her RUDE comment.

In fact, I am going to email now and ask them to remove my post from their precious guestbook.

Wow... And I thought Lut was sweet.

Guess it's not really a loss after all, besides not being able to see pictures of her kitties.

I deleted my original post in this thread.

[shais_mom]

I too will miss Lut and pray for her dear little Inka but if her and Niina want to be that nasty to those of us who mean well, then they aren't worth it. And I thought better of Lut for that, especially since Niina is so fickle.

Nicole, don't you dare feel bad!!!!
It isn't up to you how nasty people can be!
And I think its pretty darn funny of the rules that they post on their site about no advertising when Niina blatantly advertised her site here and most of her ideas have been swiped from PetTalk. I am removing MY name from her site. But I sent Lut a PM there before Leaving.
I told them I don't feel welcome there with that kind of attitude.
Do they NOT GET that A LOT OF members are on both boards???

[trayi52]

I went and looked at that board and I did see some members from this board. Just a few. I like this board better!

I just hate that this had to happen, I am sorry for you guys that knew her better than I did. I just don't see that any of you done anything wrong. I have never been on a board before I came to this one. I just don't think I could feel at home or comfortable anywhere else either.

I know that I am still just a greenhorn here but, I do feel very much at home. (greenhorn? where the heck did I get that word?)

Like I said Water under the bridge...

Oh well, their loss and this thread seems to be a waste of time since they made it clear that they want nothing to do with Pet Talk or any of us that tried to tell them that they were missed. I'm just being a nosy Nelly wondering what happened, but, I'm sure I'll never find out!

Edit: Removed text Re Niina as per your request Karen

As Lut asked for no more posts in her guestbook, I write to her here

Lut,
I hope to see you again in the future, good luck and {{{hugs}}} to you and your fur family.

I wish you all the luck in the world, I hope your back gets better and Inka balance gets sorted out.

But I am saddened by your choice of friend.
Just remember a friend who asks you to choose her exclusively over all others, isn't a friend at all but a dictator.


PS. I used to have an insecure controlling friend, who didn't want me to see my other friends. She got worse and worse until the last straw, she actually asked me to drop my partner, if I wanted to remain friends with her.

I decided to drop her instead, it was the best thing I ever did.

You know, I thought I was only only one who thought that (edited), thats why I kept my mouth shut, I am glad someone agree's with me (PIF). I left the Cats Palace as I feel she and her husband takes it far to serious, I think she has problems, she seems a very dominating and jealous person, Sad really isn't it?

[Karen]

Please no name calling, let's all be nice. We are sad Lut has left, let's leave it at that.

Having been a spectator to "The continuing drama of Lut & Nina" for nearly a year now, I can't resist a short comment.
I am not a person who "chats" much, and wasn't interested in Pet Talk until Randi persuaded me to have a go. I found out that it was not a communication form that I was comfortable with. You often don't really know who you're talking to. I'm used to knowing the age and gender of the people I communicate with for example. But in this case it wasn't so important, since we all have a common interest in our beloved pets. This doesn't necessarily mean that I like all the members. Once in a while a "troll" will turn up - and some people's views I disagree with entirely. This isn't a problem, I'm old enough to ignore what I don't need to get involved with. Basically, the Internet is just a reflection of the real world, with all it's positive and negative sides.

But it is sad when someone you like seems to get a rough deal. There are an awful lot of facts which haven't been posted in this particular case.

If Lut hadn't deleted all her posts, none of this would have happened. But perhaps it wasn't her decision.

It's sad for Lut, and I wish her well. Let's all just get on with our life and keep Pet Talk the pleasant, warm and friendly site that it has managed to be up to now, well moderated by Karen.


PS: I'll never make pillar now, 5 of my posts have been deleted!

Well, Jonza, if you wouldn't be so STINGY(and lets hope that translates...he he) with Fister stories, you might even eventually break 200! Now, get on with your posting!

Now until I push "send" I won't be sure whether I can say something to that theme because I think of it 20% of my day since it came up.

Everything I say now is about Lut. I was never interested in Niina.

First I was really shocked. Leaving a board is one story: the priorities in your life change and just the way you move, you change employers or stop practising the piano you may not be interested in Pet Talk anymore. But deleting all the threads you started is real hard work and it is work involving emotions.

Then I was upset. I considered Lut to be one of my online friends. Why hadn't she said something? How could she delete also my contributions to threads and the one of others I loved. Some of the threads when our kitties were travelling and partying had been so much fun. I would have named them for top 2003 threads.

Now I start to get over it. I am terribly sorry for Lut. I know these threads were fun, warmth and creativity and I am afraid she cancelled some of that in her life too. I begin to understand a little of her feelings that must be completely mixed up if a wave of warmth and understanding and love like the one in this thread and her guestbook doesn't get through to her.

If this didn't get through then there is nothing that can be done online. I hope she has her family and some real good real life friends to help her.

[gini]

All of this is so very very sad.

But I cannot change it. I cannot influence the situation so that there is a happier outcome.

Everyone here has lost.......all of us and Lut and Niina as well.

And what is really sad is that in a few weeks everyone will have forgotten and this thread will grind its way to the bottom.

[Pam]

I agree. Losing Lut is a shock, especially in this way. Since I have been here (it will be 4 years in June ) many people have come and gone. What makes this so different is the fact that she removed herself as a member and deleted her posts. That seems to me to be something done in anger and I never would have suspected that Lut would be capable of something like that. Her posts were always so warm and carefree and upbeat. Like the others, I guess we will just have to leave this alone and go forward.
