Is it time to say goodbye to a valued mentor?

[DaveC426913]

I am stunned.

And sad.

I'll just say, yes, what everyone else said.

People who leave a forum they've been involved in do so by posting less and less over time, slowly becoming lurkers, and eventually just stop coming. People who make a "definitive" goodbye post almost never leave like that. It just doesn't happen. She'll be back within a couple months.

Ave atque vale, ursa lunae.
We were lucky to have you.

We are truly going to miss her. I miss her already, and I had no clue she was planning one leaving us all. Well, good luck to her and all that in her future, and we hope to see her around sometimes still.

farewell

Somebody knows what is going on. start talking. did she get in trouble at work for spending so much time here? Did she get in a fight with someone? Did she think I wasn't coming back? someone start talking.

If she wanted to say, she would have said.

If Moonbear would have wanted to tell you what went on, she would have. Somethings just aren't for public consumption.

Edit: Get out of my head Hurkyl!

Well I think that there's probably some unfortunate reason why she left and I do not think it is particularly pleasant. I haven't come across any forum when an established forum member (and a admin/mentor at that) leaves abruptly without explanation. And it appears to be an indefinite leave of absence. Probably other more established members of the forum knows the real reason behind her departure but they aren't saying.

I was banned when she left or I think she would have told me. She would have at least said goodbye.
And since when is asking about someone here "public consumption" she isn't public, she's family.

Even though you were banned she could have sent you a PM if she had wanted to. Obviously she didn't, ergo she didn't want to tell you. Get over it.

Since this forum is viewable by the general public anything discussed on here is for "Public consumption".

Fine, its forgotten. No need to be rude about it. Just because you are a mentor shouldn't give you the right to be rude. I care about moonbear and what happens to her and I think PF is a better place with her in it. I apologize if my showing concern for someone has upset you. I'll just ignore the fact that she is gone because not talking about something makes it disappear.
I remember when my puppy died. I asked my dad what happened and he said "get over it." compassion is so over rated.
