Thanks Betty, but I see myself as inexact, not intending to be right.
My exposition attempted to advocate another point of view.
Even were a person desiring a shift toward her perception of preferable
dynamics, the List members would likely not acquiesce. Absent finding
common ground or compromise: affirmatively seeking an acceptable
alternative for herself seems prudent and reasonable. That includes
leaving the List.
I did not read that Mariana wanted to leave. I assume she left as the
alternative she saw to the status quo. I will acknowledge her "venting"
about what she thought annoying.
It is also possible that she had other matters to attend.

You're exactly right.
A person does have the right to announce that he wants to leave because
the
dynamics of the list aren't working for him personally. The statement
doesn't necessarily equate to a reflection of that person's desire for
those
dynamics to shift in favor of his needs at the time.
I like Mariana too, and I also admire her work.
