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.

    • Epitaph:

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.
