Is Cawiau Gone Too?

[plugginaway22]

things seem to be really changing on this board?

[yogiii]

I just noticed that also, sad.  Is it because of the loan forgiveness thing or did I miss something?

[plugginaway22]

I am a long-time heavy use lurker, post only occasionally, but do love to hear about his adventures!

[michelyn8]

Wait more people are gone?  What did I miss?

[mmhmm]

It does appear Carl has left us. I have no idea why and Carl didn't speak of it in any post I've seen. We really know nothing and I wonder if it isn't better not to speculate on why someone may choose to leave (either permanently or for a little break) when we really don't have a clue. Sometimes, folks still read as guests, so things said here can be hurtful. Let's be careful, please.

That said, I'll miss him. I've always enjoyed Carl's posts and hope he decides to return when he's ready to do so. In the meantime, I wish him and his family only the best.

I hope it's a temporary break because I for one really enjoyed his threads and posts.  I enjoy hearing about his adventures. 

[andreawick]

who will start the threads on YM w/o Carl??

[Blonde Granny]

I too am sorry to see Carl leave. His posts always generated ideas for both sides of an issue.  My hope is that he will come back.  If not, I wish Mr & Mrs Carl all the best.

Some stalker probably showed up at his grocery store.

And everyone wonders why we lose posters here.

I am about to pull the plug here too if this keeps up.

Value Buy, even with the little winking happy face, your post is not funny or necessary. Carl, as you know was a long time poster here and his contributions were many and consistently interesting and informative.  I am asking that you alter your post to something more suitable or simply delete it.

I think maybe you misread his post? 

[ArchietheDragon]

Carl did like to talk about his toe curling sex.

Seriously?

Sam, I'm sure he's OK. My guess is the student loan thread really got to him and he left.

Proving that even though this is an "anonymous" message board, we all have our limits and our

I am thinking more along the line he was caught posting at work, and management said, what the heck are you doing, but that is just speculation on my part.

Seriously BG... You seem to be ascribing meaning/intent that isn't there...

I guess you missed his recent promotion to store manager?

I am aware of the promotion. That was why I made the comment.

As part of upper management, your superiors do check computer useage and any facebook postings as well as the time of postings.

It does occur in my company.....

Again simple speculation, so not anything to talk about.

[ArchietheDragon]

I think he almost exclusively uses his phone to post... not that that a phone is immune to a company knowing what their empoyee is doing on the phone

[mmhmm]

If you wish to discuss moderation, either do so by PM, email to moonbeam, or in the "I've got a Beef ..." thread, as per our CoC. Further discussion here will be removed.

mmhmm, a rather sad Administrator

I think the bolded phrase (the bolding is mine) is key. Let's not speculate about why someone decides to leave. We don't know unless that person tells us why they decided to leave. Speculation isn't at all helpful and could be harmful, or hurtful.
