Let's try to remember that we don't have an administrative crisis
here. A member decided to leave for her own reasons (albeit with
maximum melodrama). She wasn't asked to leave or forced out, and she
hasn't been barred from rejoining. People leave and rejoin lists all
the time, mostly without saying goodbye or hello.
Can we go on to other things, or even to silence until there's
something new to say?
