Its been an incredible creative outlet, great way to make friends, and--perhaps most rewarding--there are people out there who have benefitted from my writing about poly, BDSM, and other challenging social subjects. Which I think is really awesome...I'm not exaclty an expert, so thats pretty cool.</p> <p>This has worked pretty well for the last 12-or-so-years, when I had about 10 readers on Livejournal. But now I've got 2.2 million readers and the audience/creator dynamic is very different. </p> <p>As my audience has grown I've started to attract some bad actors who attack my life under the veil of cowardly anonymity. I've been able to ignore them for the most part, but over the last year the hateful messages have taken on a disturbing racist rhetoric and sometime they contain veiled death threats. Which is scary and unnacceptable.</p> <p>This isn't fun for me anymore. This hasn't been fun for a while. I only see it trending worse.</p> <p>I feel like my only option is to close the blog down.</p> <p>I've had a really good run. 15-years, yay! Its gotten so bad that I'm relieved to have the option to close it down. This is a good stopping point. My journey in San Francisco is coming to an end, got a new job, moving my pups up north.</p> <p>I feel like the time I spend on my blog fielding "blog stuff" can be better spent on other creative projects.</p> <p>Thank you everyone for reading, I really appreciate it.</p> <p>Verbal signature, Noodles and Beef.</p> <p>THE END.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div>
