That's right, I quoted myself. Probably right about that... everyone loves my sense of humor. Well, everybody except MumboJumboo. That kind of stings a little.
I have a sense of humor. My advice to her...... if there is a problem with members....ignore. If there is a problem with threads...unwatch. simple. I think she has done many great things for the forum.
I'm sure you do. Nothing I said in #64 was meant to be anything other than funny. Sorry if I missed my mark... again. Sound advice.
Mooshisho, I am rather new here and you have been nothing but friendly, nice, and helpful. I hope that whatever the issue is will be resolved and you come back. That being said, I respect that it is your decision and I think you should make whatever choice is best for you. Wether you come back or not I hope that life treats you well and you are rewarded for all of the friendship and kindness you have given here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
OK, folks, this just has to be said: LEAVE THE POOR GIRL ALONE. If you've had the misfortune to lose a family member, then hopefully you have some idea what she's going through. If you haven't, thank your lucky stars, because it's a whole 'nuther level of hurt. Moosh should do whatever she needs to do, in her own time. Odds are she'll come back here when she's worked through her Real World issues, if she doesn't she doesn't. She owes us nothing. Trying to shame her into coming back just because we want her to, is beneath us, and downright insulting. Have a little respect, people.
Really? It seems to me everyone has been pretty respectful. Well, almost everyone. It has absolutely nothing to do with the passing of a family member, other than timing. That was only brought up because Mooshi posted her feelings about that on her blog. It was an attempt by many to make sense of her absence.
Well, you two seem to be close, so I suppose you know more about it than I do. But from what I see from here, it looks like a lot of people trying to "shame" her into coming back. Sorry, but something about that just strikes me as wrong. Like I said before, it's her life, not ours.
^^^^ Tis true. All we can do is endless debate and whining. Not like we can go drag her out of her house for a few consoling beers.
Sometimes you need to take a break, and sometimes you gotta move on. I didn't interact with her but I always enjoyed her threads and posts and she seems like she has a sweet personality. Hope you're doing well out there in the rest of the world, Mooshisho!
I can say that she was extremely kind when I first started almost a year ago (holy crap time flys) and she was never one to not answer a question if you had one. She gave great feedback. But when she's ready to return, I'm sure all of the flashlights here are more than enough to keep her spot warm
Judging by her posts, she seemed to be really nice and knowledgeable. I hope she comes back (soon...).
The question to ask, is it more about what she wants or what we want? I also want her back and agree the place is not the same without her. However I also think we need to be sensitive to whatever she's going through and let her come back when she is ready, keep her in our thoughts and prayers and keep the door open for her.
I just took this picture for the pay it forward thread, but it seems relevant here, too. Pretty much sums up my feelings on this matter. So Moosh, this ones for you.
By an large, I didn't see a whole lot of "shaming" in this thread... Just well-wishers and and display of concern. When my father passed away, I was down for the funeral and remember receiving a email from someone I didn't know who had been informed by a friend why I was absent from the forums. Nothing heavy handed, no hard sell, no "shaming"... just a note to let me know that I was missed and there were people thinking of me. I appreciated that email a lot. If we are sometimes clumsy in our humanity, it's understandable given the nature of the ether we call the web, but I don't think that detracts from the thoughts and fond wishes. Certainly not to the point where the entire thread should be unilaterally condemned. ATB, Sam
