I wasn’t harping on her back there, SusanMarie. Just said she had some visible traits that predict some friction. Those traits rarely give someone more energy to deal with the other stuff you alluded to.

I get there’s other stuff going on, too. We all have things going on in our lives. I didn’t expect to see 2019, and still don’t expect to see 2020. That’s the least of the issues on my end. Others will have it worse. I get that.

It’s not any one straw by itself. It’s the whole bale and a half of hay. Vedderman pointed out some undefined amount of hay that didn’t need to be added to that pile, and that there were perhaps some behaviors regarding hay management that weren’t optimal, with a bit of between the lines “a lot of the behaviors would earn a less prolific poster corner time”. That’s not to say it accounts for everything, but it’s bound to contribute, and if the same behaviors persist offline, as has been indicated in some posts in the past and fits with the constancy of human behavior, there is a good chance these behaviors are doing some needless multiplication of entities in real life, too. They certainly do for others I know who exhibit them.

I’m rooting for Dahlia, whatever she’s struggling with, and hope she’ll come back stronger for the wear.

Hope you didn’t take that as a criticism of her. I have lots of those, but this wasn’t one of them.

I didn't actually, but thank you for clarifying.
