: {{u|Dustfreeworld}}, I want to thank you for the continued encouragement and kind words and for noticing all I've been going through of late, and apologize for appearing to ignore posts here. Not only have I been very short on time because of real life commitments and the arbcase; I have been undecided about whether to stick around, and so have stalled on getting caught up with everyone. I realize that you are hoping I will return to medical editing, but as I've examined the evidence in the arb case over the last month, I have seen enough of the most repugnant human behavior in here that I am thankful I did not expose myself to it while I was grieving, and even more doubtful that I will ever again be as active here as I once was. Thank you for the kindness, and sorry to disappoint. [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 11:11, 26 April 2024 (UTC) |

::{{u|SandyGeorgia}}, there’s nothing to apologize for. I always appear to ignore posts here and [[User_talk:Dustfreeworld|there]] <code>;-)</code> I’m not just hoping that you will return to medical editing, I’m hoping that you will return to *whatever* editing. Yep, we may have the most repugnant human behavior in here, that’s why we need editors from the other extreme (e.g., you) to balance that out. {{pb}}You know, I can’t help thinking (and have been longing to tell you) that, I have been inadvertently doing something like “free play” (what children naturally do when adults aren't telling them what to do?) in the past few months while you’re not around (at WP:MED). IMO you have a gift for getting people together; and people like that you are someone who will listen. On the other hand, I probably have a gift for … pissing people off (?!) … (yep, almost *everyone* I think, no matter they like / dislike me ;-) In short, I don’t think you have the right to be undecided about / have stalled on / doubtful that ... You just can’t. Wikipedia needs people like you. --[[User:Dustfreeworld|<span style="color: navy">'''Dustfreeworld'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Dustfreeworld|talk]]) 14:52, 28 April 2024 (UTC); 15:56, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |

:::You are funny! I can't do it anymore; it's nauseating in here. It's not just words on a screen; it's real people's safety and livelihood and families being jeopardized by ideological zealots.

::::Sorry that I haven’t followed the Venezuelan case closely; I’m not sure I understand you correctly; and I haven’t expressed myself very well. Do you mean “it's real people's safety and livelihood and families being jeopardized by ideological zealots” through their editing at Wikipedia? If so, shouldn’t we be doing something to stop or prevent that (through better editing) instead of stepping away? Aside, there are a lot of things that one can edit besides Venezuela or medical content.. PS of course I respect whatever you choose to or not to do.

:::::a) "We" are doing something (there's an arbcase). b) [[Torture in Venezuela]], [[Human rights in Venezuela]], [[Corruption in Venezuela]], [[Crisis in Venezuela]]; if anyone thinks editing Wikipedia will change a single thing, there's a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you ...

You are a Ray of Sunshine!
SandyGeorgia I am so sorry for your troubles. It's not fair that one person has to face so many challenges. Completely lost track of you for a while. It meant a great deal to get a message from you today. You brightened my day, week, month. Hope you'll stay with us. Let me know if I can help you anyhow. -SusanLesch (talk) 16:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
2024: slowing down
@Wugapodes, Dustfreeworld, Geometry guy, WhatamIdoing, Jo-Jo Eumerus, Ssilvers, SVcode, S Marshall, Clovermoss, Buster7, Realmaxxver, Doug Weller, SchroCat, Johnbod, Sdkb, Spicy, Shearonink, NoonIcarus, Ealdgyth, David Fuchs, Amakuru, Hog Farm, AirshipJungleman29, Eddie891, Aza24, SusanLesch, Panini!, Firefangledfeathers, ARoseWolf, Mike Christie, Scientelensia, CommonKnowledgeCreator, Wtfiv, and Ajpolino:
It is my custom to personally respond to every barnstar, all greetings of the season, and other talk page messages, but I have failed to do that this year, and the section pending from you on my talk page means I had every good intention of responding more fully, but never got to it.
I want to acknolwedge and thank each of you for the kind words, barnstars and seasons greetings, and apologize to those whose messages I have failed to answer.
My will to participate in Wikipedia has waned, and although I won't be fully retiring and will continue to sporadically check my watchlist, I can't be counted on to do the work I've always done or respond to messages promptly. With apologies for not individually responding to all of you, I'll be archiving my talk now, and wish you all a prosperous, peaceful and safe 2024. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
