What a really sad sucky situation all around.

ONE thing I am very glad about- I am SO glad to see some of your old faces/names again! FRED!! M.O!!! Riggsie!! I only hope you guys come back here and play more often. I'm missing the 'aefvue clicque' type people here and on TOB. I know a couple times I heard about other boards where everyone was hanging out but I lost all the links, b/c as you say, can't be everywhere, and a few fizzled anyway. Plus I never get all that involved over the interwebz, but I do miss ya'll.

JTM, I"m so sorry for you to have to go through this- I can see you're really hurt and confused right now :hug: :hug: It's not a great situation for anybody right now.

Not on COTH, a different board (though who knows, maybe COTH too).

One never knows one that well, and especially on a bulletin board.
Maybe we will never know..
I have been totally down and out when I was young, but would have diedrather than use or cheat my friends. I worked my way out of the hole.
ITs really sad. There may be drugs, or Alcohol involved. we really do not know.
The saddest thing is there are so many kind people out there, And the horse world is close knit. When you combine that together with the internet, we all being decent folks want to help. And make friends.
I pray for Mellie that she can get help and find the way out of the dark place she is in.
And like I have said SCOTCHIE IS THE BEST!!! I will de grinch as well Happily!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cloud9:

justdandy, I agree. The outrage expressed by those who trusted her and were cheated is perfectly understandable. But for those people who did NOT have those experiences, and who genuinely felt friendship for her, it must be very difficult to read this thread and the facebook expose.

I have great sympathy for those people.
Thanks 2bayboys and Quinn.

I think you guys hit the nail on the head. I appreciate your understanding of the situation. :cloud9:

Well, back to missing some of our own....

Still no word from 3Bays?

How is 2HsMommy (is that right)?

Let see, who else is still missing?

One upside of the current unpleasantness is that we do have some oldsters back :teehee: :teehee:

Wow, I missed a lot in the day I was gone. It saddens me to see that somebody could do this to so many good hearted people. :sigh:

..........actually this first came out in November. We have been trying to talk to Mellie since November, but the lightbulb didn't really come on until sometime around Christmas week when all the other people started coming forward with their experiences.

Actually it was even before that. We had contributed as a group for a present that was to have been sent back in the summer. Quite a lot of money had been collected. As stated, numerous excuses were given (to me for one and I have the emails to prove it) and time kept going by.

It's so horrible. We Aefvue loons are a tight group. We've been through a whole lot as a group and she was definitely one of us. To be treated this way by someone you have considered a friend is so hurtful. We wanted so badly for her to tell us why; what had happened, what's going on. I practically begged her to at least tell me, but she never did.

Unfortunately the saga continues as she still needs to do the right thing with one of our members - even now.

Could somebody please PT me her real name? I believe she is in the same state as I am, and I don't want to get inadvertently sucked in.

I never really corresponded with MB, but found her funny and likable online. Amazing.

Yes that's true VB. I guess I should have said that it only escalated to where all the contributors were aware that the gifts from the summer had not been given at that point. I too emailed with no response.

And yet happy posts about partying etc. continued on other boards with other people.

I still am pretty stymied. We were very close knit - all she had to do was explain and/or ASK for help.

Like others just learning about this here, I was floored, aghast, disbelieving, shocked and dismayed. Now I am just shocked and dismayed, sad, and angry. Plus, I pity her.

:sigh:
