When did JSmith leave? I wondered why he was quiet?

Before Christmas, say about the middle of December.

I didn't visit the site for about 2 days, and it happened in that time, though it took me a couple more days to realise.

That's not very likely is it? Board moderators typically only ban people if there's no hope of getting them to behave reasonably. I, for example, only got a suspension for whatever it was that got me suspended. If someone is banned and you don't know why, the reasonable assumption is that they did something worthy of a ban (running a sock, for example, or persistently insulting someone thin skinned) that you don't know about. The moderators aren't going to tell you, the banned person might, otherwise you just have to guess. Any guess is more probable than "no reason".

I should say, in case the poster in question is reading, that I had nothing to do with this. I'd ask what happened via facebook but I see that I've been unfriended.

Maybe, but there could also be other factors behind the scenes that none of us know about. Just doesn't seem to add up to me, I got to know Siouxie pretty well, she didn't come across as a person that would insult, or purposely stir up trouble, shes had enough of her own personal issues with out causing anymore for herself and other people. Something is amiss somewhere. A guess is a guess, and "no reason" is as good a guess as any in the absence of any facts or anything else. This kind of thing happens in work places all the time....for "no reason", power struggles, some people just don't get along with one and other, that's a fact of life.

Re: Where is Siouxie?

I checked in with her via FB. Canâ€™t divulge the contents of our conversation but sheâ€™s doing fine. At least we donâ€™t need to worry about her well-being ðŸ¥°

Re: Where is Siouxie?

Good to hear she's ok!

I think JSmith has had a very tough time in Canada in general, for one being a lifetime renter in BC is pretty miserable as house prices and rents spiral out of control, plus it seemed like he struggled often with his mental health. I hope he is doing ok as well.

Well that's good to know, from thing I picked up form her over time, is that she is a survivor and rolls with the punches.

I hope you are doing ok too?

Thought she was a Mod ?

Have you tried with a capital "S"?

I recall often having differences with Siouxie and honestly don't miss her at all, - if I may allow myself to be that frank. At times I was scared that Siouxie would be able to ban me as some forums can be very unpredictable regarding banning of users for whatever reason. Regarding opinions I didn't find her mild-manaered at all, but people's opinions and perceptions may differ here.

Was Siouxie the one always banging on about how great Hamilton is?

Which is quite impressive for a Broadway musical...

Even more impressive for an old BBC radio DJ.
