Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm really pleased to hear that.

Also pleased. Not at all surprised.

Not sure what, if anything, we should do, but maybe say something nice back to her? (Maybe not, I don't know...)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I don't think a response is necessary.

Yeah, prolly not. Not sure we want to encourage her to try to return.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm glad she's doing better.

A reply might be nice since she made the effort to tell us.

And t cracks open big can of worms maybe we could come up with some sort of probationary reactivation of an account policy for this sort of situation...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If we don't have a reinstatement policy in place we should have one [eta: I'm including "never" as a policy]. I don't understand what you see as "this situation". It's not like even she asked to come back.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I vote that we each wish Zoe well in our own way, but I don't think a message from the board is necessary.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And maybe we could come up with some sort of probationary reactivation of an account policy for this sort of situation...

No quarrel in theory. But since she hasn't asked to be reinstated, I don't see a need to hammer out the details now.

(ETA: Um, IOW, what ita said while I was xposting.)

By "this sort of situation" I mean where someone went off the rails and then tells us that they're back on.

No, she didn't ask (which just makes her seem more sincere to me personally), but she was a enthusiastic part of the community when she in good shape and it seems like a nice thing to do.
