Yup, CT, those are the ones who keep me coming back, too, among others. Along with Sig, Mal4, Mike, and Story. It's just frustrating sometimes...
PK, oh, I'm glad you're still around; maybe it's that I hear from you so little. You know, whenever you post about England, from my observation you start a thread which interests others, too. Maybe if you posted more, you'd give us some interesting threads, too...you just have to ignore the obvious you-know-what about Britain. But then so do we all; I certainly take my share for living in Marin, SF, CA, or whatever. I wish you would; I'm interested in all things British, definitely, and it's interesting to learn about other forms of government than our own. I wish all who are here from outside the US would post more; we'd learn more, for one thing!
Little, yes I miss you; yours is soft and valuable voice, and always pleasant to hear. I'm so sorry you've gone through all that, it must have been awful! I can't imagine trying to survive on my own (even when I was younger!) in South America; Europe or England, yes, I could get a job and I'd love to move to Switzerland even now, if we could afford to support ourselves. But I know I have a lot of misperceptions of South America, and one is that it would be awfully difficult to make my own way there!
I hope the New Year brings you all KINDS of good things; your karma is way too good for all that stuff to have happened to you, but then maybe it will end up making for a richer life, making your own way in a different country--we never know what live's vagarities will bring. It will certainly expand your horizons!!! I hope, selfishly, that things go better so you can come here more often.
And yes, I know some of those I miss may well just not be coming to RWED; it's where I hang out virtually exclusively, so I miss them here. I definitely know about sharks and stuff, which is the reason I think some of the voices are either gone or not here in RWED, and why some even recently have decided to come here less. That was kind of my point. Were it not for the sharks, I think a lot of those voices would still be here...like the River I initially confused with the other "River"...haven't heard from her in ages and would guess she got turned off and left. That's a shame.![]()

I probably miss RIPWash the most, of the RWED posters who used to be around but aren't anymore. Which is funny because we agreed on next to nothing, but could have civil discussions ABOUT those disagreements.
And I miss Rue at least as much. Signy's input has been sorely needed around here, and it's great to see her come back. Anthony's input is always more than welcome, too.
I miss GinoBiffaroni, too. And Citizen. Both held views that were uncomfortable for left and right alike, but both also told uncomfortable truths that really should be told.

I miss GinoBiffaroni too! His views on foreign affairs were so enlightening and informative.

There were people here where, if I saw their names in my email inbox as having replied to my post, I physically shuddered. My body filled with dread at the idea of having to read anything written by them. That was time to get away. RWED should be fun, not psychological bullying.
When I was able to heal from those wounds and resolve not to let them keep me from enjoying the voices of others, I came back. But it took years.

I never knew some of the people you mentioned, but I wish I had.
I thought there were at least three Rivers--I kept hearing about a "River(and some numbers)" and at one time there was a RiverDancer here, and another Riverlove, and I forget the handle of the RiverSomething who came in and I mistook her for one of the others. But she didn't hang around long, and I liked her.
Oh, CTTS, you made me smile:Quote:

Boy, can I empathize!! Luckily, I haven't gotten to the "dread" part...a least yet...I just see their names, sigh, and know it won't be pleasant when I look for it. But given there may be responses beyond theirs, I check anyway. You're absolutely right; when it gets to you that bad, it's DEFINITELY time to take care of yourself. It just should never have to get to that point, because many (most?) at that point just walk away and never come back.
I continue to be unable to fathom those who make it that way, given they apparently have nothing better to do than come here and do their best to drive others off, while having absolutely nothing of any substance to offer. It seems like such an enormous waste of time, and so incredibly sad that they can't imagine anything else to do with that time, that I can't conceive of the need to do it. I guess I'll never understand, but I pity them and regret the harm they do to good voices here.![]()
