I was wondering the same. Thought she may have slipped in under a new nom de' plume but I haven't recognized her distinctive rhetoric. Perhaps she's just lurking.

On October 14th she mentioned medical problems. On October 16th she began the user registration process, emailed me to say she's not comfortable giving the personal information that was "required" and asked me why it was required. I emailed her and explained that "country" was the only required field, that the purpose of the optional fields was to give readers easier access to potentially relevant information and to reduce confusion and that the timezone wasn't visible to others and was just a nicety to allow users to have times displayed in their local timezone. I also mentioned that since she'd already disclosed that she was a female living in the U.S. who was 50 years old, the registration actually required her to supply less information (country only, which I suppose users could fake, though I don't know why they would) than she'd already shared.
I haven't heard from her since and she never completed the user registration.
While we're on the subject of AWOL posters, simon, who was a frequent poster on the old board, hasn't posted in 5 weeks.

I spoke to Anti on AOL serveral times prior to this new board. Let's just say she had issues which were aggravated by her VERY bad health. She told me that she was going to quit posting and thought when the new board was started up it was a good time just to put it to rest. I haven't seen her on AOL either nor have I gotten any email from her. I suspect her health has really turned for the worse.

While I didn't care for her rhetoric I'm saddend to hear she's in poor health. I hope she feels better.
Her situation is kind of a lesson for us all to. What can happen when rage and anger can take over like that. Maybe forgiving and finding peace really IS worth it. I'd hate to be so bitter and I have more reason to be bitter then most.
Yet most of the time I still see the glass as half full.

However, Anti's posts were representative of quite a number of people out there. It's important to hear all sides to the issues for a better understanding. It's so easy to say "Poor me" and not quite understand why society is the way it is. Even if society has irrational justifications to do things which may adversely affect sex offenders it's important to take that thought process into consideration when evaluating one's own situation.

The last time I messaged with Anti, which has been before the new board was in use, she had told me she was a cancer survivor, and her cancer had been in remission, but it had become active again. She was to start a new round of chemotherapy.
My best friend's mother just succumbed to liver & pancreas cancer. She was diagnosed on October 8th, after having routine gall bladder surgery. When they operated they found the cancer. She died November 16. It was quick, but not painless. She had little time to react, much less act against it.

Lil,
I'm sorry to hear about your friend's mother. Gosh, I hope the same didn't happen to Anti. If she's lurking around it would be nice if she posted something to let us know she's doing ok.
