I miss Robin of Berkeley.

I miss Robin of Berkeley. She hasn't posted anything since October. No articles on American Thinker or on her site. She was publishing quite steadily for a good long time and then - nothing. I truly hope she is OK. There are people who would make her life miserable if they could figure out her real identity. I sent an email to the editor of AT yesterday and this is the reply I received:

"She is busy with other matters. We share your feelings, and are hoping she will return to writing." - editor@americanthinker.com

That's all I've been able to find out.

I kind of miss her too. I’ve wondered where she was. I feel an affinity for her, since I went to Berkeley and was a deluded lib as well for too many years. I’m also studying to be a counselor, as I think she is - or psychologist. I admire her courage to change. I’ve always thought she would be interesting to sit down and talk with...I hope she’s ok too.

Agreed. I didn’t follow her regularly, but I’ve read a number of her essays, because they were linked here at FR, and always thought they were excellent and very much to the point.

Dated Jan 27th, 2012 I just became a statistic: one of the thousands (millions?) of people whose email address get hijacked by spammers. I discovered this by getting some rejected mail from some of those spammers.

If I hadn’t taken more than 50 seconds to do that, I’d have beaten you!

Thanks for the links. I don’t recall having read anything of hers but, “Are you looking for me?” is thought provoking.

Me too, and I share your concern.

I know how to negotiate Berkeley and surrounding communities, and for that very reason, I don't.

Thanks for the post. I wasn't conscious of it, but I realized I'd missed reading her, too. And thanks to the comments -- now we have her blog.

Cheers.

I miss 2trievers, Otterpond, Kattracks and so many others. I wish we had a way to make sure they were ok. It's just that some FReepers stick around and others have changing situations. You just never know the hand people are being dealt.

I wish all of our missing and missed FReepers all the very best!

I followed Kattracks posts. There are many Freepers I miss.

You’re right, I haven’t seen Kattracks in a while. You could almost set your watch by her morning article postings. And what ever happened to Tolik and his great ping list?

Re: "missing" Freepers

To those mentioning her...I'm not sure from your posts which of you may already know that kattracks passed away in 2007. She is listed on this Free Republic Memorial Wall, about halfway down...
