Quit:
I will return one day and who knows, maybe Jesus will also choose that day to return and multiply some fishes and loaves.
Prolly not.
Either way, I’m gonna go and keep dreaming.
When I wake up, you better hope you’re asleep.

Quit (Temporary):
I am deactivating my Quora account until Quora disseminates an official, public statement regarding misattribution of comments due to bot activity in the first week of August, 2017.
Editorial Note: An apology has reportedly been posted to the Top Writers Facebook group. The Top Writers Facebook group is not open, so any statements made there are not public.

Given the changes this week (8/3/2017) Changes to further emphasize canonical questions by Sumi Kim on Quora Product Updates, I will be taking a break from Quora.
Sad day for Quora. If you get rid of all details except links, and links don’t say what they are to (like the details in What are some ways that Gary Vaynerchuk is extremely emotionally intelligent?) I will never be comfortable answering those questions. Basic Internet safety, I don’t click on undifferentiated links.
I’ve been getting Quora Bot notifications this afternoon, watching details disappear—feels like that scene in Agents of Shield, where bits of reality keep disappearing knowing it will eventually be all gone.
Guess I’ll disappear for a while, and check on things in a week or two.
I understand the goal, I’m just deeply disturbed by the choice of how to accomplish it. This is not Wikipedia, and questions cannot be slimmed down the way a Wikipedia entry can.
Another notification from the Quora Bot, just as I’m writing this comment. I shall go hide away, and see if things look better next week. I expect I’ll come back to a thousand or more notifications from the Quora Bot. What a disaster.

I for one am getting sick and tired of the BNBR world we live in.

Best of luck all. I am stopping Quora for a while. Good luck.

Banned:
He wanted me to tell you he’s been banned and that he’s unlikely to appeal.
He says he was “shocked, but not surprised,” and he “hopes you had as much fun reading his writing as he did writing your reading, maybe even more.”
He also said he considered himself… “immeasurably wealthier for having had the opportunity to spend time and energy here with y’all,” and he told me to say that “anyone can feel free to send money, food, work, well-wishes, arguments, threats, and any other thing you might not care to imagine,” to him, at keepitgreen72@gmail.com
