Any idea what happened? I can’t see any account anymore.

I hadn’t realised I was missing the account until you mentioned it.

It didn't take long to find some posts on that blog on the subject. I'll refrain from going further into it because .. well, forum drama, it looks like. I too miss her writing, but I note that providing an unorthodox viewpoint on here tends to get a lot of heat.

I did find her posts interesting. I’m sorry she left, but I support her decision, as it seems to be what she needed for personal reasons, and sincerely wish her luck and happiness.
> unorthodox
Which is defined differently, in this community, than most…
Our “unorthodox” may be “orthodox,” in other communities.
Over the years, I’ve developed a thick skin, which I have found to be important, when mixing in heterogeneous communities. Also, I have learned the efficacy of not throwing punches; regardless of provocation. I’ll usually just withdraw from fights, and leave the field to the “victors.”
Personal insecurity is an Achilles heel, hereabouts. It will just make life miserable.
