Timeout for this moderator :)

[aronth5]

Bonnie, what can I say that others haven't already said. You will be missed. Take care and I look forward to your return.

 

[teslasguy]

Bonnie, you will be very missed. This forum and all of us have been much enriched by your positive contributions. You have been an oft needed voice of balance and reason. Take care.

+1!

Please come back just as soon as possible, this is the saddest thing I've heard in a while. Hoping this is resolved quickly and you remain safe. Very scary...

 

[v12 to 12v]

When you get back, you can have all my reputation points so that you can still make progress towards getting your pony from the catalog. (Although, it probably won't amount very many.)
Meanwhile, you'll be missed a great deal.

 

[AudubonB]

Ah, what a shame! Here's an idea for you, Bonnie: I hope you've already logged off, and have re-logged on as "Farmer John" or some such.

And to think I had taken your name in vain just a day ago. Now I may never know if you'll ever have found that post. Darn.

Good luck! Hope to see you back soon!

Audie

Bonnie! As most everyone around here knows, your efforts have helped make this forum the best there is. Please come back when you can & remember we will miss you. ML

Best to you Bonnie, be well.

Your contributions to this Forum is greatly appreciated in what you have done in the past, and in the future when you you are ready.

It's a real sad state of affairs when things like this happen.

B, you've done a great service thus far to TMC and are a huge credit to the Tesla movement. Happy holidays; looking forward to your return in the new year!

 

[J in MN]

Thanks for everything Bonnie, and best wishes.

Not many appreciate how much time and effort is required to keep things together here. Things have been especially nutty lately and it's easy to get burned out. We ask members to please contribute positively to the forum and follow the instructions from moderators.

 

[TonyWilliams]

Best wishes on your moderator break. Until somebody has done this sometimes thankless job, it's hard to imagine all the craziness that can and does happen.

 

[purplewalt]

Thank you Bonnie for your many insightful contributions, multiple talents and consistent grace.
Thank you also to the rest of the Moderators who do such an Amazing Job, keeping all the wheels turning and the cats herded up.

 

[Thumper]

Thanks for everything and best of luck to you. Hope all is resolved quickly.

 

[GSP]

Bonnie,

I greatly appreciate your work here, and the other moderators as well. You will be missed, and I look forward for your return.

Best wishes to you.

Bonnie, I am going to say differently.

I think you should stay and not yield to the bad elements. If every time good folks leave the system, pretty soon this will become a lawless wild wasteland. This is a private forum/property and you guys set the rules and everyone is expected to follow. If they don't like it, they can leave.

Many many folks have enjoyed and learnt enormously from this forum, and it is in no small part to the effort you and other moderators have put in. We all owe something back in return and that will be our support to help you put the bad elements in their place.

As they say, 'don't yield to the terrorists'.

I'd like to second this thought.

Personally, I'd have no problem at all with the moderators being a bit more insistent on pleasant behavior, moving in the boundaries of the envelope. While a wide range of opinions and ideas are essential for a forum like this to be useful, there's never a need for personal attacks or nastiness. Perhaps the Broken Window Theory applies to forums as well, insist on polite conversations and that becomes the norm.

 

[Electroman]

And even if on occasions if a moderator was a bit heavy handed than usual, so what ? This is a very difficult job, primarily because it is subjective.

Those situations are similar to the teachers giving timeouts for the whole class and there will be innocents caught up in that.

Future Tesla owner here, finally joined after lurking for 4+ months. Had to join just to say that Bonnie's contributions will be missed by non members as well as members.
