So many questions, such stupid answers, let's see what I can do.

I guess there are a few answers for each question, and every answer is rather stupid honestly, it took me a little while to figure out why I stopped writing articles in the first place. But from my absence I've learned a lot. About myself, about you (the reader) about peoples opinions, ideas, thoughts, and why everyone seems to be obsessed with the notion that even if you want to become a ruffian it's still not cool to have a pet shark.

So anyway back to the questions I was answering, why did I leave? Well after a lot of deliberation and wall staring, I came to the conclusion that more then anything, I felt my articles were no longer being read, and rather all of you were focusing your attention on reading articles, that apparently you hated. I'll explain.

If you are a frequent Whim reader then you know there are certain articles on here that have certain slanted political points of view. I am some what political myself and disagree with these conservative, ultra right-winged, neo-fascist articles, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Seeing the same article every single week that degrades people of different race and sexual orientation is getting rather boring, for me at least, but still this isn't what is at fault. The problem lays in the motivation, which is you, the reader.

Don't take this personal, I still think you are some of the most intelligent and articulate people (you have to be if you read Whim Internet Magazine). And it's obvious that you don't agree with these Nazi--or excuse me "conservative"--articles. But you are encouraging it, you are feeding it. Every time there is one of these articles you spew an almost never ending supply of comments and statements aimed at what only seems to be an attempt to change the writers point of view. I ASSURE you, this is not possible. The only thing that you are accomplishing by doing this is helping to inflate their already pulsating ego. All these comments have been excellent and really have started people talking, but maybe I'm being selfish in this situation, but I feel that myself and other great Whim writers who choose to write without the sole intent of starting a political debate have been kicked aside.

So my friends who were once so loyal and always seemed to be interested in what I had to say, no matter how moronic and pointless I ask a question of you. Next time you read an article that makes you want to poke your eyeballs out from disgust, hold back, bite your lip. Bite it real hard, because although I encourage disagreement to learn from one another, I ask you as a friend to not say anything. Let's see what it can do for us to remain silent in this particular situation. Thank you very much, and let it be known that Whim Internet Magazine is still the coolest online magazine ever. I think we can ALL agree to that.
