Withholding Answers:

I’m watching this insubstantial pageant, but I’m done writing answers, at least for now. I’ll comment on stuff. PM me if you want to talk, and you know me to talk to. Especially do so if you want to know how to reach me. You never know when Quora will ban me, or you, after all.

Darla Benz, Pegah Esmaili, and Sophie Dockx in the span of a week. Enough is enough.

Quit:

No idea what straw finally broke the camel’s back. I’ve certainly never set out to deliberately anger, incense or embarrassed anyone, but whatever I said, I regret nothing. This is a privately owned website, the owners can regulate it as they please, but some of the ‘delicate little flowers’ using Quora would be well served to grow a thicker skin. And moderators/TPTB would do well to look out for outside attacks from individuals (Reddit users) who’ve decided they hate Quora/Quotas. Well, that’s my final rant; I’ll just cap it off with a quote from one of my favorite cheesy ’80’s movies (Highlander). “It’s better to burn out than to fade away!” ‘Bye, all and thank you, Nick, for channeling this Necro-message from beyond the Quora grave.

Quit, Deactivated:

I think I’m going to leave Quora soon. Doxx threats as well as very questionable moderation decisions are just pushing me too far to the “I don’t know if I want to do this anymore” side. As great as this site is, the cons are starting to outweigh the pros.

I will be deleting my Quora account soon. It’s been fun everyone. But it’s also been addictive and time consuming. I realized that I was ignoring other important things in life, like my health and family, in order to scroll for hours on end through Quora.

And, as a former smoker, I know that the best way to quit something is to completely cut it from your life.

So thank you to you regular upvoters of mine… You know who you are. If you’d like to stay in touch, and I haven’t already given you my email address, message me and I’ll give it to you.
