Previously in the Wall Observer:
I love Lauda (don’t take that the wrong way: our relation is amicably professional). So do many others. And is she fearsome? Frankly, I love the cat because she’s not a pussy (so to speak).
I think that was many people’s reaction. She did much for the community, over the course of seven years. —Much for the community, as others do on various levels and in different ways. Not comparing anyone to anyone else, Jay, you know that many people (including myself) would be some level of unhappy if you were to disappear. #nohomo WO folks would be drinking beers, and reminiscing on your wordy-man walls-o’-text; those who have benefitted materially from your market analysis, discussion, and debate may take it harder, if they have any sense of gratitude.
Whereas Lauda’s departure hit me more personally, because...
Lauda did. And that is all that I will say about that cat.
In view of my previous post, it is ironic that I raise your thereby quote from this context:
Anyway, I don’t give any shits about Internet forums generally. Besides making forum art just to amuse myself, I spent so much time here for a reason. Now that the reason is gone, it is more or less just a matter of habit, plus some loose ends, etc. I do personally respect and value some other individuals here; but that is not a reason to dwell so much on a public forum.
That does not get to me personally. Seriously, Jay...
...have you seen anyone meaner than I am? ;-)
Wherefore those who may “want to rattle” me are only asking for me to blowtorch their faces. Given my naturally aggressive personality, it is not a problem for me.
Indeed. Life goes on. 😼
...kitty, kitty... that fury beast.
Lauda is a Maximal Maximalist. [...]I love Lauda (don’t take that the wrong way: our relation is amicably professional). So do many others. And is she fearsome? Frankly, I love the cat because she’s not a pussy (so to speak).
In regards to Lauda, of course her decision to exit the forum could be a bit traumatic, especially for any members who considered her services to have been a benefit to the forum......

You should be protecting yourself though because none of us (or other random peeps on the internet) give any shits about you as much as you should be protecting yourself, psychologically and financially.
Lauda did. And that is all that I will say about that cat.

and yet, some of the replies that I am getting here, especially what explorer said, are a little bit too close to “you don’t believe hard enough”.

At least 51% of the reason why I returned to the forum on 2020-01-01 was to reconnect with Lauda.
I don't know.. if you are sensitive in protecting Lauda.. that seems to be on you, more than anything... some people might purposefully want to rattle you in that direction, so in that regard, you might actually put yourself in such a position if you get too attached to that kind of thing... or showing that you are attached in that kind of way...
That does not get to me personally. Seriously, Jay...
sometimes there are meanies on the interwebs.. including yours truly.

but surely life happens

This nonexistent cat admired strength and despised weakness:
