Got a PM on Facebook. It was about past Mudcat Recovery Ward threads and The Tavern threads and others.

It lamented the passing of the "old" Mudcat and Mudchat.

I know my long time Mudcat friend probably won't start a recovery ward thread even facing "minor" cancer surgery or a tavern thread or those creative writing threads and so on.

I tried to console by saying that trolls drove people away to other media and that they should "go for it" and see what happens.

So... this thread is for my good friend. I hope that surgery slays the dragon and that you heal well and quickly.

I just wish the lament about Mudcat regulars leaving wasn't the case. Maybe it's time for a Mudcat Recovery? I myself am doubtful as the same old trolls still lurk and be jerks and it appears the old school Mudcatters just can't be arsed anymore... even ME! >;-)
