She left after the lowtax news broke, deadmined herself and logged off
Then Logan made a post on her facebook the other day specifically calling out LAB for helping get her out of an abusive situation

Yeah LAB seemed really burnt out on moderating even before this, so I don't blame her one bit if she wants to enjoy her newfound freedom.

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

Thank you sincerely for helping her LAB. I have been her in the past, and from what is publically available it sounds like you're doing a great job at helping her. And thank you for putting so much effort into keeping her privacy.

You don't and never deserved what this website did to you.

I only had one interaction with LITERALLY A BIRD, here in QCS, but it was a positive one and everything I have heard about her makes it seem that she is good people. I hope she feels able to return to the site in time.

Literally a Bird flew more than halfway across the U.S., at personal risk during a pandemic, to help a woman escape her abuser. Do I have that right?

Pretty cool.

As a former poster in the bird thread who stopped posting there because my bird died, I hope that LITERALLY A BIRD returns to the forums unshackled by her admin and moderator responsibilities, and just to post.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
LaB went above and beyond all the time, definitely one of the best mods this site's ever had.

The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
LAB is/was a good mod and I can always appreciate someone who thinks my lovely posts are funny enough to quote them as the name of threads in PYF every so often. It was always cool to see someone who actually gave a poo poo about things and people and I'm going to miss their presence: but if modding was as stressful as it seemed, I hope they're doing better out there.

Literally a Bird sent me a PM when someone said I was a lovely poster and told me I was an OK poster.

So she is way wrong about posting but otherwise a very nice person in my IMHO honest opinion.

e: And a good moderator/admin.

Yep.

I said it in another thread, but despite me sending an unnecessarily sarcastic email to her about the Lowtax situation, she responded with dignity and clarity. Any frustration I felt towards her handling of the original abuse allegations was completely gone by the time we'd finished interacting.

Literally A Bird seems like an incredibly cool and level-headed mod/admin outside of that one incident with the Schadenfreude thread which ultimately was a pretty minor thing and she more than proved capable after that so it literally doesn't matter. She's a very cool and good person by most every account. I sort of accidentally threw her under the bus in a post I made a few days ago complaining about another mod relating to the aforementioned incident and I apologize for that, as she clearly didn't deserve it and I was being a moron. I feel bad about it anyway so I'll just say I'm very sorry and I hope to see her post here down the line even if she doesn't want to be admin again.

I'm dumb and only just now realized that this thread isn't about whether or not LAB is a good poster or mod or admin, but about how she helped a domestic abuse victim, which is levels above any forums poo poo.

Well fine, then I guess I have no choice but to apologize for my triple post yelling at you in the sagas thread. I was really upset.
