ICOT! Outstanding job.
I sympathize with AYC, as many do, and finally, as all do now, and can understand them going in another direction from this site, naturally.
But I hope they will consider what an opportunity is waiting for them to be mochel. They dont even have to post regularly again. Just a brief checking in to say hello and to give mechila would be huge.
Not easy at all, and it may take time, but it is theirs to grasp if they get to that point.
On the other hand, it may be no big deal to them and they just left because of the nonsense and they have no idea what the rest of us are saying.
Since the line between moderators and posters is not so defined, perhaps moderators can be intermediaries for those who want to send apologies to AYC’s registered email address, privately.
