Sigh . . . Bccs, I don't often disagree with your viewpoint, but do disagree with this. Like it or not, we all set the bounds of "permissible", by our reactions, by our reply posts. True, Tracy absolutely has the last word, if you will (as she should), but all of us help to create the environment with every one of our posts. There's no way we'll ever all agree on much (not with 400+ members, some more vocal than others, of course ;) ) but, as comments from Ballywing and BCBird suggested, one of the reasons this forum is so great is that, despite our varied views, we treat each other with respect and continue to express ourselves. I'm all for that!
bcbird:
Posting our feelings, whether of unhappy or happy thoughts, does serve a purpose.
It is sharing with those we trust to listen.
Two years ago the forum was flooded with comments as we grieved The Lost Chicks. We posted and we posted, knowing nothing could make the reality different. Eventually we moved on, and the forum gained strength. Its members realized the safe and considerate place it was then, and of course we believe it to be true today!
Respect should rule, and if it doesn't, there is always TPC and her shovel!
Loriann:
actually a lot of us have not been making too much out of Trey not coming back out of respect for Tracy and her feelings of loss.. We all wish that it was different but accept that this is the circle of life. We all miss him but we all understand that it could happen. Tracy has a deeper connection with him than any of us could ever hope to have and out of repect for that we've chosen to focus on the positive and refrain from pointing out the obvious loss we all feel.. this is in no way reflecting on our feelings of loss, and disappointment, rather a reflection of looking forward, being positive about things we cannot change, and looking forward to a happy tomorrow...... if Trey was human, and capable of understanding loss, this is what he'd want.. for his legend to live on for us to all throw our support and positivity behind this..
ballywing:
Nobody is denying it and I don't see why we have to be silent ??? Let's not get our shorts in a knot, we're a great forum, lets keep it that way and hopefully keep on being able to express ourselves. :-\

What Allikat was expressing here was that we must live with what is. Period.
Yes, we are all missing Trey, but to have the same emotions being posted repeatedly serves no purpose but to make us sad.
There are few here who do not recognize Trey and his wonderful existance and contribution to the continuation of the peregrines. No one, that I have read or talked with is pushing him aside.
Rather, we are moving forward to the next generation, and grieving silently.
Each and every one of us has a soft spot in our hearts for Trey. We miss him., we want him back.
But, that appears to not be on the slate for this year.
So, as Allikat said, let's move forward. This is what's happening, and to deny what is, well, to me is wrong.
