I agree as well. A long long time ago I was getting very frustrated and knew I needed a break. So thats what I posted. That I was taking a break for a week, and I did. And people replied "Ok, take care of you, come back when you can" and the like. There was no one freaking out that I was leaving, no one was hurt and upset, I got the break I needed and haven't taken a break since.

So perhaps when we're feeling upset and just need to protect ourselves and take a break, that is what we should post. "I'm taking a break." Then no one has to beg and plead, we can get our break and then come back when we're healed.

That's really what my Sedona trip was actually....I could have accessed the internet there if I had really wanted to, but I could tell I needed a break, and that was what it was.

Everyone take care of self. A break is a good thing. The ignore feature is our friend. Take up issues with admin and mods and take a break while it clears up. That's what I've done since the time I joined in '04.
