Farewell Boing Boing, I go into exile now.

History

My behavior on the Boing Boing comment board has led to a Boing Boing moderator asking me to self-censor.

I wish for my words to remain as they stand, uncensored.

Rather than wait for a Boing Boing moderator to cancel my account, I plan to send a few private farewell messages to Boing Boing users I like and respect, review my own activity log for anything I want to save, and then delete my account. This feels like honor; this I will do.
