2004-07-14 11:31 AM Starving the Troll Over the last couple of months there has been an individual leaving posts here that have been inflammatory at best. I've tolerated these posts as best I could, even when they've been painfully ignorant--stating that 10000 Jewish persons lost their lives under Hitler--racist (comparing being beaten up as a child to the enslavement of entire race), or otherwise filled with truly frightening, hateful rhetoric.
It's drained me beyond words, embarrassed me and left me feeling like a empty husk. No more. I will delete any further posts from this individual without a second glance. And please spare me any rhetoric about censorship, will you? This is MY journal. It exists at my sufferance and I am, in essence, the publisher. I will no longer provide a venue for this type of ignorance. You have something to say? Well, there are plenty of free online journals out there where you can say whatever you want. But you're not going to do it here. I have better things upon which to use my energy. Joseph Haines, signing off from The Edge of the Abyss.
