I was sad to read that the person who posted here as 'Reality Bites' has passed away.
To all her family and friends, I'm genuinely sorry for your loss and regret not realizing sooner that this sad event had happened.
Over several years we both got involved in some thrilling and tempestuous debates about Meat, Veganism and all sorts of other good stuff. Sometimes it got 'heated' and emotional artillery was exchanged, but in general I think we both got a lot of fun and education from grappling with complex ideas and even expanding them.
I'm sad to think that there's never going to be an opportunity to engage with her again, but I have only fond memories of her combative style, her dedication to her threads and how she handled what, at times, were quite difficult interactions with some 'troubled' members of this troubled community.
As she was an atheist, I will refrain from offering any religious motifs about leaving this planet of visions, planet of war, planet of online forums where we can waste our time and not realize the sand is running through the glass.
If by some miracle there's a 'quantum connection' that can open up to where you are or the void where you are not, I'd just like to say thank you for all the fun times and for your challenging mind.
rest in peace
