Vanishing Act

I've done a lot of things I've regretted over the years.

Everyone has, of course, but it's a lot easier on people of my generation (and older) where our mistakes disappeared into time's all-consuming maw. Now, our every mistake is recorded on the internet for posterity to condemn.

Usually, I'm in favor of condemning past actions, but looking back at these posts...

Some of them I'm proud of.

Some of them people will misconstrue as bigoted.

And some of them are just plain embarrassing.

I was going back and putting apologetic notes on the posts I found problematic, but I finally realized that was pointless. A lot of them are problematic.

So, I'm taking the whole thing down. Maybe I'll re-release them after a time with some editing.

But probably not.

Thanks to all both of my fans (Hi Mom!) for being supportive.
