Jean- I don't know, I wouldn't believe it unless she told me herself, but if she specifically told you that (and not just hinted), then I don't think she lied... People always say they'd never do something, then end up doing it, it's human nature... Whether she did or she didn't, I wouldn't judge her either way.
I know, not knowing is a bitch, I think it's one think we're all programmed not to accept, I just hope she got the help she needed, and I hope Kris got it too.
As for Bliss- Erm, I don't know, I think it was around the last time we talked, which was, as I said, almost a year ago, but don't hold me to that because I'm not sure.
I don't know, I'm not mad at these people for leaving... If you lose interest in a board and stop talking to its members, it usually means you lose interest in the people in it. Therefore they don't particularly care about what you think. After all, we're just online friends, they'd assume we'd get over it and get on with their lives.
Yes, I think it'd be polite and sensitive to say they're leaving, if only for their friends, and I would have done it, at least on these boards since I've known a lot of the people here for ages, but I don't really blame them for not doing it... Don't forget that some people leave because all their friends have left before... Most of the old members left when they realised all their friends were gone. At this point they could befriend new members or leave, and some choose to leave.
Online friendships always end at some point, these people won't remember us by the time they're 80 and I presume they have a life to lead, so they don't really care whether we approve their acts or not. Don't get me wrong, I don't like it either and it saddens me too, but I just don't really judge them.
Anyway, I think this thread is a good idea. There are some people who do notify these things in separate threads that get lost along the way and are very hard to find. Having a sticky thread for it in the CH would be a good idea.
