Crassmaster: This is the strangest thread.
"Haven't seen someone in awhile, so my first assumption is that they're dead."
That's...that's an interesting way to think about things, I guess. :)
Hubris? "Our community is so fookin' swell that no one would choose to leave, so it must be death, dismemberment, kidnapping, institutionalization, coma... or worse." "Haven't seen someone in awhile, so my first assumption is that they're dead."
That's...that's an interesting way to think about things, I guess. :)
Not saying that's what was going on in the darker regions of the OPs mind, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are subconscious social dynamics that lead some to think that the worst has happened to long-lost members.
