I'm being accused of supporting stalkers, child molesters, pedophiles, Heil Hitlers, fascists, and other such stuff - the solution? "kill hines and we'll leave you alone"! HELLYEAH!
I wanted this place to be about music, and occasionally about some other of my interests.
I don't think I have to feel morally bad for not caring about all the crap that's going on on the internet. Personally, so far, I have mostly been rather successful about not getting too deeply involved in that shit. However, there have been several waves of attack on my blog (in the wake of the flood, some links were reported, too, of course...)
This is not Darfour or the Hindukush or the Ghaza strip or whatever horrible place, and I honestly don't feel responsible for everything that happens (Empathie is not much more than Mitleid in most cases, and ever since Schiller updated Lessing in that respect, there's nothing much worse to feel for anyone than Mitleid anyway).
Under the current circumstances, I feel like it's ME that's being stalked right now, and I won't take this.
The options are to stop the blog altogether (it's not yet deleted), to go private (and invite just those I actually do know are genuine people and have an actual interest in music and feel like leaving a comment now and then or even offer to share something themselves). Whatever... it's not fun, and after all it's work, using time I should invest elsewhere (in real life - some of the folks I'm speaking of should get a real life, too, and stop molesting this place! What a pest!)
Anyway, I hope these aren't "final words" - they aren't well-crafted and have been typed without much consideration... not sine ira et studio, I'm afraid...
