I know OldTex is gone, but what happened to Anne?
Is YM pissing people off at a higher rate or something?

If you'd quit being a mother to your boys you'd know more about what goes on around here!
I hope she comes back. I enjoyed her posts and miss her.

I've wondered too...I guess I missed whatever happened. I'm sad she's gone.  |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I've got no idea what happened to anne81. Her last post was Reply #837 (I think that number is right) in the thread linked below. Maybe there's a hint there somewhere. link |

I think someone mentioned that she was unhappy with how much time she was spending on here. What happened to oldtex? Oldtex quit after some teasing he received (I think it was on EE). I don't think harm was meant, really, but he took it badly. Hopefully, he'll come back. Sometimes, folks just need a bit of a break. |

The last time I saw posts from oldtex was on the thread about emergency health issues. He seemed to claim that health emergencies could be avoided by proper planning - he took a fair amount of criticism (well deserved, imo). Mostly I think because his posts came across as devoid of any empathy.

He had one post after that... On Mutt's thread a couple of weeks ago about her health issues, a few other posters and I were joking to try to cheer her up ("what, you didn't pack a bag lunch on your way to the ER?" etc.) Oldtex posted that we were a bunch of jerks and deleted his account before anyone could respond. __________________________ I miss Craftysarah.  |

When I was a host in a real time chat room I learned very quickly that written words without seeing a facial expression can hurt very deeply.
On this board I've been called names by people who know me only by their interpretation of what I've said. I just chalk it up to computer bullying and let it go.
I'm very sorry that people are hurt unintentionally. Facial expressions go a long way to softening the harshness of the words, but with this venue that is impossible to do.

I know Anne81 was getting miffed on the Zimmerman thread. Man, I really thought Old Tex was tougher than that.... And Craftysarah left too? WTF... |

sasfw,
Excellent observation. I try to mitigate that effect with emoticons, but they go only so far.
I also thought oldtex was tougher than that .. I've taken my share of tweaking, but haven't left in a huff. Taken a break now and then, however.
I really got a kick out of muttleynfelix's thread - I do hope you are feeling better muttley

GG - Thanks. I am feeling pretty good. I run out of energy at the end of the day, but other than that, the issues that put me in the hospital appear to be gone. I have a follow up check up this afternoon. I was feeling good enough yesterday that DS and I took a 1.5 mile hike (DH and DD went about a third of the way and turned back when the trail was no longer smooth enough for the jogging stroller). DS was just a blast to go hiking with. He kept asking me where the up button was and the down button was. So, when we got to the top of the hill I hit a tree and I said I hit the down button ... he didn't appreciate that. But he walked the whole way with no complaints and cheerfully pointed out rocks, trees, the water in the creek, etc. It just trips me out how fun he is and how sweet. When I was in the hospital, he kept asking if I was going to be ok. We picked him up from preschool early the morning I got out of the hospital and he goes "Mommy, are you all better?".  |

Holy cow  I thought those jokes were just standard YM wash-your-baggies sarcasm. Didn't read the original thread but the reaction seems kinda disproportionate. I hope he'll be back; we'll miss his sense of humor. |

I thought so too... but a few people on the EE thread thought we crossed the line. Mutt, glad you're feeling better! I love the pic - is that the "down" button? |

I think WWGB is right and there is something else going on with Old Tex. Mid - LOL. No, that was towards the beginning of the hike. We were hanging out on the bridge looking at turtles and fish and then we got to the end of the bridge and DS saw the rocks and wanted to crawl on them. The up button and down button came later on in the hike. |

OK, while I did learn something new - that Craftysarah is gone - I still didn't get an answer to my original question How typical  |

IIRC:
Anne was concerned that she was spending too much time on here and had some other stuff to take care of.
OldTex really did not like being teased about his views on emergency planning and such. I was following it in real time and seemed rather low key to me and I am pretty sensitive.
Shasta left in a huff after posting her fears about National Geographic channel having interviewed her and then editing the tape they aired to make it look like she had ratted out pot growers up in her neck of the woods. Saw the episode and she really said nothing to worry about IMHO but then again what do I know?
Don't rememer the details, which is unusual for me, but I think vaguely remember some sort of kerfluffle when she left.
I have noticed that people quite often get pissed off on these boards and leave in a huff - must fill some sort of need they have.
ETA:
Muttley - great to hear that you are doing so much better and your son is just darling! Had a bout of something similar and I think we caught it sooner - they just gave me a ton of antibiotics, for which I am thankful! Eating yogurt and such now , trying to get my GI tract re bacteriaized.
