A Sad Farewell
My friend Paul is killing off his blog. Too many people were taking advantage of anonymity and making horrible posts. Frankly, I just don't understand that. If you can't sign your name to the things you say, you probably shouldn't say them out loud.
I'm sorry to see his blog go because I really enjoy his perspective. I love his writing. I love watching him figure things out as he goes along. Paul has been extremely honest and open for the entire life of his blog, and to kill that voice through petty, mean, and cruel comments is inexcusable. Shame on those whose postings led to this end.

Thanks, Sallyacious.
Blogging is a great leveller; it took me down a peg for every great triumph it supplied. I do not begrudge the anonymites; no doubt they fulfill some particularly useful function in the Grand Scheme of Things. (I just got tired of being afflicted with their various functions, I suppose.)
I'm most glad to be of your acquaintance, both on-line and off-, and I look forward to continuing our friendship whatsoever the media. Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.
