I am emotionally drained emerging from the aftermath of my last post. As a result of that there are a couple of things I need to say.
First. Those of you that have been reading for more than a few months will probably have noticed this weblog has been changing, and I don't mean the visual design. I have begun writing about things that, up until recently, I would not have approached. As a result the overall tone has become darker. This is not something I wanted to happen. This change has come about through concern. The feelings that motivate these posts will chew me up from the inside out if I don't try and do something positive with them. I realise that many of the things I have been saying don't make pleasant reading(eg. 1 2 3 ). I realise that I sometimes get passionate about what I'm writing to the point where I don't express myself as well as I might if I were to remain calm. I realise that I have offended with some of my comments. If I do say something that offends you, by all means let me know, but remember they are not personal attacks.
Second. I will never, ever, EVER censor anything said by anyone in the comments section of this site (even if it offends me personally). So if you see something in the comments you find offencive, I may not necessarily agree with it. I will not change any of my own posts or comments after I have posted either (except for correcting spelling). If you say something in the comments section here you can be sure it will stay there, but that does not mean I want anyone to hold back.
