 birolI m going to take some liberties here and answer this question, and hope that I m not overstepping the bonds of friendship that I have with her.  I m not trying to speak for her, just give you my impression of things.  
      Maybe a few of you might remember that several weeks ago there was a thread that took kind of a nasty turn?  There were two members in particular that seemed to be laying in wait for her to post her opinions and then make nasty remarks, then one of them deleted his own remarks, making it look like she was trying to start something.  One of our  esteemed  moderators scolded her, and then closed the thread saying that if anyone needed to address the issue they should email him.  well, I did, and so did NightOwl but the moderator never had the respect to respond to either of us.  I was annoyed by it, no big deal, but she had asked some specific questions and never received an answer.    That, along with some other projects that she needed to spend time on led her to decide that maybe she would " take a break"  from the board.  I, for one miss her very muchon the board but feel that she needs to deal with this in her own way.    I will continue to be her good friend, and stay in contact with her on or off this board.

 birolWell, I hope all involved in chasing her off are giving themselves huge pats on the back.  That s exactly the kind of crap we need right now - people treating each other like that - yesiree, in this day and age that s exactly how we should be treating each other.  [>:]

 birolI wondered what was up with this board lately?  NightOwl is the " Mamasan"  of the board - the " Matriarch"  in my opinion - and I admire and respect her immensly.  I am not aware of the posts or the nonsense that went on -- but I wish she were back and inspiring all of us - as only she can do - in her own special way.
 I can only speak for myself - but NightOwl has been a wonderful friend to me over the years that I have known her - although I have yet to meet her in person - I feel as though I ve known her forever - were old pals!!!  I know there are many of you out there who feel the same towards her - she is such a special lady and a special member of this board.  I hope she feels she can come back soon!!
 NightOwl if you are reading this - we love you and miss you!!!

 birolI do not like this happening here, I was scolded for no reason at all as well, and I also e-mailed moderator1, but never received a reply, it is nice being ignored [>:].
 
 
 I am going to go quiet until things straighten up here. I am protesting being treated this way and Nightowl being made to keep herself away from this board.
 
 This is NOT why I am here in this board.

 birolBirol, just making sure that you understand, NightOwl isn t being made to stay off the board, she just felt that after being treated that way, maybe she would spend some time doing some other things that weren t getting done because of the time she spent here.    I did speak with her just a little while ago, and while she said to say thank you to those who have asked about her, she didn t indicate that she was in any mood to come right back.  Who knows, maybe, maybe not?!   I would have thought that some of the people who are connected to the administration would have noticed her absence, and missed her dedicated spirit.

 birolIt does seem kind of wierd not seeing her name on here now.  I noticed something was different about the board..but couldn t quite put my finger on it.  Tell her we miss her dearly.  Seeing her name on a post, and reading her posts were like coming home from a hard day s work to find a fire going in the fire place..and hot cocoa and cookies waiting for you, and the wife saying " here hun...I kept the recliner warm for you" .  I always read her posts...even in a thread that I have no intrest in just to read her words of wisdom.  I may not agree with some of her beliefs..but I respect them cause at least she states them with and logic and passion, and doesn t have the " I m right..you re wrong, so think what I think or you re a bad person"  attitude like some folks I known, met, and read their posts on.  Shame on the people who did that to her.  I don t remember the thread, but doing something like that is like starting a bar fight, then hiding under a table to see the destruction.  Nothing but pure cowardice.  Trying to get someone else into trouble  cause you don t agree with their beliefs is nothing but pure HS...grow up and get a life.

 birolI want you all to know that hearing your reactions to her absence from the board is also helping me.  She s been my best friend on this board for quite a while now, and not JUST on the board but in our personal lives.  We talk every few days on the phone, and my DH Rick and I have spent considerable time as guests with her and Billy.  They are both like family to us, and knowing how upset she was at the turn this took hurt me very badly too.  At first I was just going to keep my mouth shut (for a change, LOL) because I knew that she would deal with it on her own level, but over the last three weeks I have found myself feeling very bitter that something like this could happen on this board.  My last several posts may have reflected the fact that I didn t really care anymore what anyone else thought, I was gonna say just what I thought about things, no matter who didn t like it.    But, tonight, just seeing these few posts from the rest of you is reminding me why we have this message board.  Because we are like family.   And family doesn t deliberately hurt those that they care for.

 birolWow, just went back and viewed that thread.    I saw quite a few deleted posts that were replaced with winks and smiles.  Could be just me, but those seemed a tad bit more sarcastic than any other posts I saw on there...  
 
 You guessed it.  I m not a happy camper atm.

 birolI have also wondered where Nightowl was.  Have no idea what the post was and don t want to know, BUT I do want her to know that she is missed badly.  I pray that when time has passed and healing has taken place, that she will grace us with her presence again.
 
 Please tell her that even though I don t know her that I have great respect for all the good things she has said and done here.
