Hi MM, just wondering how you are and what you have been up to? Are you getting your garden ready for the summer? Miss you here! Chris
Also sending greetings, hope all is well.

Me too.
I LOVE Mrs. M, and now I'm afraid we've lost her/driven her away.
I always thought Mrs. M was the spark in the open forum and kept me coming back to see what fun topics she would explore. Hopefully she just needs a rest from things and will return.

I do seem to recall Mrs M leaving once before and then returning, so hopefully we'll see her again when she is ready. Not everyone on the Forums will see eye-to-eye all the time, but I really enjoy the community here and am willing to take the bad with the good, just like with my in-person friends and associates.

Just love Mrs. M and have so much in common with her. I really hope she comes back as I don't think the boards would be the same without her! :)

I like Mrs M. a lot, too, and wish she were back here. But I think it should be clear that it was her choice to leave the forum. SLF is what it is and will continue to evolve; it will attract some people and turn off others.

Mrs M. can come back any time as far as I'm concerned. However, I think it *is* respecting people to respect their decisions to come and go as they please (why I tend not to weigh in on these things - till now I guess). It's only the internet. I'm sure Mrs M is doing just fine.
I just found comments from Mrs. M as "guest" about how the forum was bothering her. She gave so much, I hope she'll find another one where she can do that and find she's getting as much back.

Are these comments somewhere on this site?

Mrs. M's responses to posts remain on the site in their original locations. It's just that those posts no longer link to a profile page or show a Join Date or Post total. She is listed as a Guest.

Still watching for the answer to the above question, WHERE are the posts/comments on this site?

Well....all over. Wherever she had posted before leaving. Here's an example: http://www.simplelivingforum.net/showthread.php?8046-Question-and-Answer-SLF-expectancy
Not sure I understand the question?

I'm not surprised she left with hurt feelings. Her thread was well intentioned, meant to explore ways to help the site. I thought some of the comments to her were rude and snippy.

Above, like you posted. She was asking for examples, is the way the question (Are these comments aka the forum is bothering me, somewhere on this site).:+1:
Simply asking for facts.
Anywhere Mrs-M posted prior to leaving the site you you will still be able to read all her comments with her name still appearing on the left, just like all of ours. The only difference is that since she deleted her profile it will have her status listed as "guest" rather than "Senior Member" or other status that is actually linked to an active profile.
Guests are people who have 'read only' access to the forums so they can access information and read our conversations, but they can not participate until they register and create a profile. Because she was active at the time of her posts and later deleted her profile it has the appearance that a guest posted, but that is not the case. As a guest she would not be able to post new comments, but none of the posts she created prior to deleting her profile have been (or will be) removed. If Mrs-M would like to come back in the future re-registering and starting a new profile is all she will have to do to once again become a full fledged member.
Does that answer the question?

At least the way I read her question, was provide examples (which was done), of her saying that. Now when she went to guest, while she can read posts (without being a member which peeved her), we cannot click on her name and "see all posts" which is why I am guessing she was asking for examples.:thankyou:

Ditto.
I think it was really a simalair thread in politics that put her over the top. It got a bit out of hand with personal comments and some snarkiness by others as well as her. While I didn't agree with her stance on either thread - the one in open or in politics - I believe her intent was to help make the boards a better place for everyone. But I think she's probably a sweet and sensitive person who dislikes conflict so it was probably all too much for her. Hopefully she'll shrug it off and come back again as she added so much to the conversations here.
I read that thread that was posted and don't see the point of it at all.
I've seen lots of active posters leave over the years -- some really really really active ones.
It often has drama attached to it. I guess people get highly invested and then can get overwrought. It happens. The forums move on. Others become active.
I can't really think of any who have left like that and then come back. Maybe some have.
Do I miss some of the people who have left?
No not really, though I often liked them a lot while they were here.
You go on a trip, you enjoy what you find, not what you expected to find.
Come to forum, enjoy what is here. It's all good.
