All this. And, Elsa herself apologized more than once. Even with everything going on with UWR, it still was a lousy comment.
The KA accusation is a whole different story.
What was the KA accusation? I knew she said she was upset with KA making passive aggressive remarks to her about shipping out free gifts to people which seemed a reasonable thing to be upset about, but I didn't see anything more than that.
See, and I don't think that WAS a reasonable thing to get upset about because it's not unreasonable to wonder why someone who needs a GFM set up for her has extra cash to send out stuff to internet randos. She just brought that up so that she could be included in the drama.

 She had a bad review in her etsy shop and accused KA of writing it, IIRC

Well we'll have to agree to disagree on that. Assuming that her son has been as sick as she says and she has had to be hospitalized herself, then I have no problem contributing to make life a little easier and it feels like no skittles for poor people to get mad at her for sending out a couple of free home made gifts.
I am team UWR on this, but I'm not seeing how Squirrely fucking up on stuff makes some of the things that have been said to/ about her ok. They are two separate issues.
On April 14 she replied to an email I sent asking her to just send the baby clothes back because I thought my stepmom could help and I was headed to visit her, saying she would mail them in time.
I didn't get them in time so I reached out again on the 21st asking her not to send them when I was out of town. She didn't reply, so I tried again on he 24th. She replied on the 25th saying she would send them 2-3 day mail and include some stuff for a Mother's Day gift for someone as an apology for taking so long.
Still didn't get them. (Thankfully bought other Mother's Day gifts and didn't rely on this.)
I messaged again on May 5th. Got no response. Messaged again on the 8th, as well as reached out to her via her etsy store on the 10th or 11th and kind of hinted here I was pissed off at someone who had my things.
That's when she finally replied and said she had the box in the car and would ship it.
No box. No response to subsequent emails. And I texted the number I had for her and someone replied saying "This isn't squirrely (sic) number."
Fin.
Oh, man, I'm really sorry. I was in my head fabricating some kind of explanation for how everything was going to work out in the end, but this is just too much. I have saved a small bin of clothing and favorite toys and whatnot and I'd be devastated if it were lost. Especially if someone I trusted facilitated the loss. Now, off to finish the thread, hoping squirrelymom has posted a picture of her holding the finished quilt along with today's paper, standing next to the overnight FedEx guy holding an empty, pre-addressed box. I hope it all works out, somehow, underwaterrhymes. I'm sad and angry for you, too.
What the hell? This makes me physically sick. Ok, you're a flake but what's wrong with you that you would keep (lose, sell, screw with) another mom's baby clothes like that.
Also, this. She's a quilter, for God's sake. She knows how important fucking quilts are. She knows, and she doesn't care.
Bah!! I'm really sorry, UWR I completely admire & respect your patience in standing silently by hoping for a miracle. That speaks so much as to the kindness of your heart. I'm not done sending miracle vibes of hope that some good can some-freaking-how come of this, & you can get that material back in whatever form. Ugh!

ANd it needs to be repeated this wasn't going on during any old time but when we were in the midst of a fucking board explosion. Feelings were HOT to say the least.

Did that have something to do with the dentist? I'm forgetting how that dentist fit into the story. Jeez, don't get old, people.

In the midst of a board explosion about racism, in which she inserted herself in a really weird way. Her posts during that whole thing made me really uncomfortable.
I'm sorry, UWR. You have been a helluva lot more patient than I would have been in the situation. TWO YEARS, I'd be lighting stuff on fire! I hope you get you baby clothes back.

Yes. Jez googled the username Squirrely mentioned and it came up as a dentist in MD. She asked if that's where the order had gone and if the name matched and Squirrely just evaded the question. It was obvious that that's what it was, but she wanted to continue to blame KA.
ETA: I forgot the best part! When pressed to confirm whether or not that was the guy, she said something like, "I don't want to violate my customers' privacy." LOL FOR DAYSSSSS
Also, the way squirrelly inserted herself in all the drama and kept making it all about her and took it to multiple boards when all that shit went down was gross. I am glad other people noticed it as well.

YES, this. It was all so freaking weird and uncomfortable.
My guess is that she accidentally threw them away and she has no idea how to tell you.
And it makes total sense to me why you feel anger along with pity. One emotion doesn't preclude the other.
I want to believe this is true, and it was an accident, but. . how does that happen? Especially for a quilter, who understands the sentiment and value in these fabrics?

I regret not saying anything at the time.
I think a lot of people noticed it, but didn't want to EVEN FURTHER derail the conversations.

I got the impression she was not the most organized person.

We tossed a bag of important papers and mail when we were moving. Luckily I had removed As social security card from it for a different reason a few days prior or that would have been in it. Accidents happen and shit happen. Ideally in those situations one can own up to it. That's what should happen.
Also remember throughout this time she was struggling so much she was hospitalized. Rational thinking doesn't happen well when clinical depression and anxiety are gripping you to that extent.
I think we can all agree it's not rational or logical. It's not how things should have gone.
I don't think it's wrong to expect her to have owned up and apologize and refund, etc. But I can understand how it happened. I can feel anger and pity together.
I only feel anger. No pity. (And I say that as someone who waaaay back sent her son some things from his wish list when he was hospitalized). She's burned through any pity I could ever have for her (and she didn't even do anything to me). Not sorry.

And that's ok, because people can react differently to situations and have different feelings.
