Orchid, <p>I emailed Thinker yesterday with concern for her mental health. She said she is concerned also.<p>In her email to me, she said she and SNL have been banned from posting here and has lost your email addy.<p>Would you please email her with it?<p>She would also like your phone number.<p>Thank you,<p>Hoping

SNL,<p>You are not welcome to post here. I said nothing against you and you may start your own thread about being banned, but this is an informative thread and it doesn't include you.<p>Not to be rude, but I honestly have no concern whether you have actually been banned or not.<p>Hoping

Also, to any others with concern for Thinker,<p>She said she can still read here, but will not post.<p>Thinker, please try not to post, no matter what is said. There are plenty here who can defend you against disrespect.<p>Hoping

Hi Hoping, <p>Thanks for checking up on Thinker. I too have been worried about her & SNL. <p>I just got this message. I will work on this tonight. It is soo sad, what has happened to them and their family. <p>Really, really? This could happen to any of us here also. I have been thinking a lot about that and when I can formulate it in a presentable fashion I will start a thread. <p>Does familarity breed contempt? Sometimes it does. So much pain is shared here sometimes lines are crossed. I think many of us felt their pain as our own. We came to know both of them and to see their family fall apart brought the pain close to home. So much of their pain brought back bad memories for me. I can see how and why it upset so many. Nonetheless, this is still a place to share and vent and that is what they were doing but also taking pock shots at each other was not healthy. One of the drawbacks of both mates posting here. <p>Thanks for the message.

so are they banned from here for real<p>i hope they find peace

I'm not sure that they are banned. According to Thinker, Steve asked if she would mind if they were removed. That's all I feel comfortable saying about that.<p>Thank you for your concern, Orchid. Thank you for being so wonderful to the people on this board.<p>Sing,<p>I hope so too.<p>Hoping

Hi, <p>No status yet. I was able to send e-mail and leave a message. <p>L.
