Welcoming People Back

[Scythe13]

Hi Everyone

This is not related to anyone in particular, but I'm just making a quick comment and would like to see how people would react.

Obviously some people leave the forum then come back. Some people leave from bad feelings or circumstances, then come back. Some leave from arguments, then come back. Some people leave with harsh words and they came back.

The reason I'm asking this is because we have had a few people leave recently, and with the way everything is turning, no doubt they'd be coming back and checking things out. But likely they might be too worried to post on here to ask those questions.

For example, AlyBear and I are no longer a couple. She was never into prepping that much, but loved the camping and outdoors part of it all. if she was to come online, I believe she would be welcomed into the fold and shown the same love and respect that I am shown (hopefully she would have more affection from Mike than I get haha).

If someone has left the forum, or not posted in AGES, then I think we should show them the same kind of passion and care that was shown in the Bible parable of the prodigle son. We should welcome them back, regardless of what they've done, who they are, or anything like that. But also, we shouldn't bring certain things back up. Neither should we expect an apology.

Does that sound reasonable?
