ADMIN NOTE: It’s been a long time in coming, and until recently it’s been a fun run -but I’m done. The troll has won.…After months of defending the board for positive contributions for countless true contributors over the years -a fun outlet for many, has now morphed into a sad, childish playground for one. What used to be weekly annoyances, became daily, now hourly trolling, which I regularly deleted w/o acknowledgement, for some time now. So, as of May 1, 2021 I’m folding “Barbara’s Obits & Memorials” after a decade, started after Barbara’s death, when no one else stepped up. After a decade of thousands of collective obits and bio honors, and more importantly personal memories by many to the board, I reluctantly bow out. “Barbara’s Obits & Memorials” has now become unrecognizable due to the sad, pathetic, and lonely mind of one individual who spends days/nights sabotaging what we’ve built -an otherwise globally respected source of notable passings. But unlike death, life goes on. | theChronicler | Friday, August 06, 07:45:46pm | 1 |
