I usually would not inquire on the whereabouts of another Freeper, but it seems a little odd to come to FR during Holy Week, and not see anything from Morgana. Anyone heard from her?
Maybe she went to be with family during this holiday.
Her last post was on 3/13/15. Could she be on vacation, or just recently back?

Don’t forget the appropriate ping! ... :-) ...
last time i talked to her was last month and she said she was taking a break, didn't say why
She was heavily into abortion related stories, almost obsessively so, in my opinion. The numerous articles she posted were well very written, and researched, many with excruciating detail. Just by reading some of the headlines I was warned that this was going to be yet another profoundly sad story to read. I would often chose to keep going, since due to certain aspects of my life, I’m already quite familiar with feelings of futility and despair.
I’m sure she’ll return when she can, it’s just usually too sad and dark a topic for me to read about more than 10 times every day. True enough, that may show a flaw in my own character.
Post #9 points to the answer, I think. When one becomes really involved in dark subjects (and abortion is one), it can easily depress you to take a break. I don't FReep as much when I get too much emotion involved or I'm afraid I'll opus out.
With a name like bipolarBob I think it probably is best you stay away from depressing issues!
good question!
My manic side can handle it just fine.
yup, sometimes ya just gotta give it a rest
Yeah, let’s not forget that a whole lot of the “Morals? What are those? Hahaha!” FReeper crowd were being very rude to her. I hope and pray she comes back.
I couldn’t deal with the details of the horrors of abortion on such a frequent basis.
Yeah.
A number of those will threaten violence when confronted with sexual morality. Their posts are sometimes deleted but they are seldom banned for their nastyness.
Many/most of those from the golden age of FR are gone. It would be impossible to catalog them all.
I wonder why so many left.
and then there's that...
