One person said something that reflected their personal feelings, another person took it personally and said so (even though it wasn't directed at them). The first person apologized. The person said the site was bringing them down, which I get, dealing with all the issues everyday weighs on people, leave psychic debris, and posters leave all the time to get on with their lives, and try to put it all behind them. Even the long term posters whose heart is really into helping others... say Gary, go distant for awhile to get perspective on their own life occasionally. No one said that they were leaving because of one misunderstanding with one other person. So yes, I am OK with people coming and going. Those that have the calling to help, come back. Others move on for good. Since the board went up in 2002 it has been this way. Posting here takes time from your life.

Even those with a desire to help, sometimes disappear for awhile or taper to only a few posts per month because they tire of answering the same questions over and over again. There are many reasons. Not having talked to Kate about this, I do not know hers, but she does not strike me as the kind of person that would let one misunderstanding keep her from doing something that she wanted to do. She is one tough lady.
