I don't post here much but I do read here a lot and I wanted to say how much I enjoy your posts. They reflect a broad-ranging intellect.
I have no idea who or what caused you to leave, but please be assured that those persons are in the minority.
I hope you'll have a change of heart and come back soon.
Best wishes,
Sue
Hope to see you soon

may be none of my business but i missed something entirely i guess. what happened anyway??
I posted a story and the moderators sent me a private email implying (or I took it as such) that I was a child molester--or that I approved of child molesters.
i've seen different posts saying that from several different people
i, myself, have gotten a rude email, that was uncalled for and unprofessional, from one of the mod's on here. i will have nothing to do with another moderator on here ever again.
if i were in your shoes, i'd do the same thing you've done. cudos to you kara. the only thing i can do is not frequent lymenet - and that is why i'm rarely on here now.
------------------
I think that this was a big factor in this unfortunate misunderstanding. By not having observed Kara's "style" of posting things that make us more aware of the weird world around us - without endorsing what she posts - the mods took that one post out of context and drew conclusions that no one who "knows" her would ever, for one second, draw.
That story was one of many that made my jaw drop at the gall of some people (the guy writing the dissertation and those on his advisory committee)-- but it was posted in the spirit of "look at what this crackpot's getting away with, you guys", with absolutely no indication that Kara would think it was okay. Actually, quite the opposite. You know she was as horrified as the rest of us were by the story, which is why she posted it in the first place.
I e-mailed one of the mods to explain this, that Kara is a gentle soul who would be the last to offend or to condone something so ugly. Others may have done the same.
I think that the mods are now aware of the dangers of looking at individual posts without considering the overall "style" of the poster.
I'm glad to have Kara back and am sorry she had to go through this. Now that you know that the mods have been made aware of the bigger picture, perhaps we can let this drop off the page.
