Title: Brianna and Maud have left the chat staff
Post by: Susan on April 03, 2007, 11:40:39 PM
Brianna has left the chat staff, we wish her well.

Maud has retired from active chat staff. It is our hope that when her IRL situation changes she might consider returning to the staff. She will be missed.

  :'( I don't know what to say.  I am perplexed, and yes, I am upset that you're leaving us.  I wish you the very best from the bottom of my heart and keep in touch if you can.  :icon_hug:

I am shocked and saddened - especially about Bri.  There were always sparks.... but I always thought that just meant she brightened up the room.

(heavy....very heavy sigh)

Those of you who know Brianna in real life and are in contact with her — whether by phone, email, IM — will probably have heard some of the reasons why she is no longer on this board.

And it is probable that rumours and whispers are swirling around and it is also probable that my name may have been mentioned in connection with the events of the past 48 hours... although none of you really know me and may never know the full story.

So, to make some peace with some of you who might feel aggrieved that your friend has gone, I am now leaving this forum. I was asked to stay, to think things over but for me and probably for the forum, this is for the best.

I haven't been here for very long, was a peripheral figure at best, but cherished the few behind-the-scenes messages with some of the people here, particularly Buffy, Steph, Tink, Julie Marie and Kate. And my special wishes go to those who's surgery may be near and three names particularly spring to mind: Katia, Melissa and debisl. Be well.

And for all of you who are in the midst of your own private storms, may the sunshine always be on your back and everywhere you go, always take the weather with you. :)

Laters...

Oh boy, wow.  I'm sorry to see so many people going.  Maybe I should leave too.  Just kidding.  I'm going to wait until after my surgery first.  Thanks Stormy about your well wishes for my surgery.  I now have a confirmed date in less than a year.

Well I'm sure I was a major aggravation to Brianna as well.  But I thought she added life to the forums here, and told her so.  Really sorry she has decided to run.  And now Stormy, too.  Hope you change your mind.
This is a sad day.

What the crap is going on?  ???  I'm really shocked right now and I just hope that everything goes well for everybody that left.  I liked those gals, too. I'm real sorry to see them go.  :'(

Brianna was removed from the staff for actions unbecoming a staff member. It was in relation to a situation between her and another person on the site. Not Stormy, though Stormy was dragged in on it towards the end.  Stormy has been given my sincere apology and hopefully in a couple of weeks after this has settled down, she will feel comfortable with coming back. Brianna is gone and will remain so. I had hoped to allow her to leave with whatever dignity she could, but apparently that isn't going to be allowed to happen...

QuoteThose of you who know Brianna in real life and are in contact with her — whether by phone, email, IM — will probably have heard some of the reasons why she is no longer on this board.

And it is probable that rumours and whispers are swirling around and it is also probable that my name may have been mentioned in connection with the events of the past 48 hours... although none of you really know me and may never know the full story.

This is all I am going to say on this matter so you should consider this subject closed.

I considered Bri one of my daughters, my 'little girl,' and I will miss her terribly.  But there are rules to live by and judgment to be exercised. 

I'm sorry it came to this.  We have all lost two special people.

   Thank you for informing us. I stayed away from the blogs for a while and when I went back, I was confused because Brianna's was missing. I'll miss her volatility. I never knew if she was going to agree with me or try to kill me. I found that trait strangely invigorating.
   Bri did help me with a problem I had and I really appreciate her input. I had mentioned it to doctors and they were kind of blowing it off.

   I also liked Stormy's Groundedness. That's what I got from her. Grounded people help me to stay grounded.

It's a shame things went as they did. But you can't end every argument to everyone's contempt, and that's kind of saddening, too.
Shame.
As for Maud: Hope you'll stick around!

Stormyweather: Get back, soon.
