babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

Hey Slumberjack - always look forward to reading you. Have a great summer and don't be a stranger..
Hurry back, eh.
Did anything happen to M. Spector? You know how people disappear into the night from time to time.
I saw a couple of posts by MS on Rabble not long ago.
I think something was posted to Rabble, but nothing on babble for many moons now...
Anyone seen Fidel lately?
I've noticed that North Report has gone missing. I also notice the drop of babblers, as each year passes.
North Report posted at least as recently as the 25th in the B.C. election thread. Does a three day absence count as 'missing'?
Well I don't know but it's unusal online because she/he posted daily and many times - links to articles about the BC election (in particular).
Maybe he/she took their own advice and have been out knocking on doors or working the telephones.
Now if you want to talk about someone who has left the board then the post above you is a good example. Boom Boom was one of my favourite posters and he has been gone for quite sometime.
Hes active in one of the other boards, at least up to the 27th
Boom Boom tends to have difficulties with the improved Babble.
I'm sure NR is active in BC election. I also noted BB absence. I found this thread an interesting read, and yes there has been many regular babblers who have quit. I also think that judgments, personal attacks and just nastiness does play a role in people turning away from commenting.
