People always say Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

what if it doesn't?
Should we feel bad when someone is gone from our world for a time, and not only do we not feel bad, but the world is a slightly better place without them there?
Is it wrong to enjoy the time spent when another person is not around?
Especially of course, it is online and the person has been removed from the site for a time.
Is it wrong to enjoy the time the person is banned?

You should always be able to enjoy "me time". Nothing wrong with that.

a variation of that is 'absence makes the heart go wander..." but it pertains to relationships.
however, in your post you end with someone being banned. i don't know if it's here. if it's here, yes, there have been members who were banned that i felt relieved about.

@DocAndersen if he/she was banned from here and the other site, then it means he/she doesn't really take time to read, understand and follow the rules.

I think the saying only applies to people we love.
