I think she is one of the most positive posters.  I hope she is enjoying her vacation and time with family.

@SandySparkles ,  you are very much missed, and it will be a bright day when you return!   Hope you are having a great beginning of your summer.

Personally, I think it's a shame that this thread has devolved into this.  I wonder how she'll feel, if she reads all the comments?  How would any of us feel?  

I hope, if she reads them, she won't feel as if she has to defend herself or her style of posting.

Done.

I agree with you @Venezia . 

Sandy is a very nice poster.  I hope she is doing well.

[Estellee]

I like her posts too, hope to hear from her soon.

It's an uneasy feeling when someone you've come to know and like disappears with no warning.  Of course they don't owe us an explanation.  There have been conversations about letting the group know if you need to leave forever or for a season.  But that can also backfire.  I wrote that I would be absent and was told this isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure.  Oh well.  Someone will always find an excuse to be snarky.

@monicakm  I remember the airport remark. Very uncalled for especially with the medical issues faced by your DH and by you.

Then when you posted on the Beauty forum it was brought up again here.

I very rarely respond to certain posters anymore and some not at all. I find it amusing being called a scold while being scolded. 🤣

If you defend yourself you are slammed.

If you do not respond the poster will puff up and brag you have been put in your place.

The junior high antics are not for me. So I ignore.

You just carry on and do what is good for you. I may question but because I may not understand something.

It's true, though. These "where is so and so" always turn sour.

And family is always off limits. Those who slam the family members of posters show just how shallow they are.

The poster routinely uses the same phrases over and over.  I assume that she does not type those everytime but has them in a memory of some kind.  I did that when I was a medical transcriptionist.  I think that's what @Bri369 was referring to @Cakers3.

@tansy That worked for you but it doesn't mean that is it what was meant by her. That's all I'm going to say about her.

No right fighting here. Just personal experience and definitely not speculation.

Sandy never says a mean thing to or about anyone. I appreciate her kind and welcoming posting style.

Maybe she got sick of the negativity or the not so subtle digs at her and wanted to retreat for a bit. Many here can relate to that.

I hope she is well and will return when/if she is ready.

@monicakm  You're absolutely correct! First, I enjoy the ladies on the forum greatly, and I do miss their posts when they leave. And true, none of us know why posters stop posting. Sometimes I think it's because there are some on here that can come across as rude and invalidating. I felt so bad when some of the posters were rude to you when you felt you needed a break from the forums. Unkind words are not necessary. I enjoy your posts greatly and I hope you're on here for a long time to come.

Not quite true, @Lakelife62 🥹
