Yeah, but even so, that's pretty extreme without 5 hides. That's a bad loss for DU. Squinch May 2018 #16

I hope she is ok. I really enjoyed her foreign toons.

Was thinking about staying overnight in Brussels this year and we talked about meeting up.

I’ve not been around much though, so maybe I’ve just missed their posts.

There's a 90 day clock on hides; three of her earlier hides have been removed.

If it was possible for someone to do the the research, they would discover her five hides were were riotous rips at trolls who have been since been tombstoned; unfortunately the 'New and Improved' jury system has its flaws.

She was a kick in the pants, but today's DU is what it is.

It was pretty blatantly a violation. IIRC, it was a direct attack against another poster of fairly good and long-time standing, far longer than either she or I have been here, and I'm almost positive "Oh my god FUCK YOU DONE" was the ending of it.

She may have been a valuable contributor, but she had a nasty habit of personal attacks that resulted in a not-insignificant amount of her hides. I won't say she was asking for an FFR, but she certainly didn't try to avoid one.

I often IM'd her just as friends but I haven't heard a word from her and I'm worried.

she's been MIA because she posted everyday several times a day.

From reading your thread.. you seem to know more about her.. that's cool. She's a sweetheart. I did catch that whole thing where she had pneumonia and then she was back. I didn't remember seeing her before.

I'm in Belgium now, but she's down in the Charleroi area, and I'm in Brussels for a day. Belgium is small, but our paths have yet to cross. She may just be on vacation, though, but you can't know that. My wife's mom had to be hospitalized from one minute to the next last week, and if no one knew it, to them, she would have vanished from the face of the earth.

Perhaps you could see if anything had happened to someone with her name in Charleroi. It's not that big an area, is it? She and her husband are attorneys. She was having some health problems which is why I am so worried. It's been about three weeks, a very long time for vacation and not the normal time of year for Europeans to take holiday.

I PMd her regularly and subjected her to my atrocious schoolgirl French, which she very kindly never ridiculed.

I had no idea this person was a long time member. I asked on a post in response to their thread how this person found DU, the response was from an internet search on a research paper? Odd, oui, what trips my triggers?

No wonder I didn't know about her until 2018. I was gone from July to December 2017.
