I am moved by the compassion of the many who have spoken with me regarding my abrupt departure. It is true, I have wrestled with the privacy issues for some time and where the lines are drawn in CDS. I swore to myself I wouldn't get involved in the politics, and then I did. My own weakness manifest.
However, in addition, I am also struggling deeply with a RL issue and the morning I resigned and left, it had all become too much and I just snapped. It is nothing personal and I cherish the friendships I have with each of you, whether I have talked with you privately about this matter or not.
I do miss the community. Maybe when I am in a better frame of mind, I'll make my way back. Until then, be good to each other, be good to your own selves. Love and peace. Bags.
