In reply to the discussion: What can we DU now to help TTW and Yoshi ? [View all]daredtowork
(3,732 posts)Since TTWs first post people have given TTW the advice to take Yoshi to Akita rescue. That has been when they were being nice about it. There have been more explicit statements about giving up the dog. ShielaT blamed the "vicious dog" as one of the causes of TTW's troubles.
From TTW's second post people began to harp on how TTW would always come back for rent money, and how it would do no good because she was "ignoring" good advice. Akita rescue came up again and again. Many people opined on what was good for the dog over what was good for TTW.
Rinse and repeat.
During this last misadventure with TTW there were several professed "skeptics" who repeatedly claimed that TTW had "ignored good advice" - that advice being to give Yoshi to Akita rescue. When msanthrope's Ex did exactly what TTW had elected not to do and turned Yoshi over to a rescue organization, TTW flipped out...and then I saw LUDICROUS remarks ridiculing TTW for believing that the DU forum had conspired to remove Yoshi from her.
Yes I am being facetious! And incredulous! And outraged that people can so blatantly deny the facts and reality of the situation.
Yes, people on DU have barraged TTW with advice about relinquishing Yoshi, and they have punished her for not taking that "sensible" advice by trolling her GoFundMe threads and saying she must be scamming since she didn't give up the dog as they advised.
This is just a fact. TTW read these statements correctly. These are facts.
And now to mock TTW for drawing the conclusion that people on the DU forum are against her staying with Yoshi?
COME ON!!!
