I'm going to be super honest about why I left, because there is so much BS swirling literally all over the internet that I just need to wipe all of that away with balls-out honestly. So here's a thread....

I am a survivor of abuse. I come from an abusive home, and I've had multiple abusive relationships as an adult. One thing all these abusive relationships had in common was the inevitable moment when the people I loved publically humiliatied me.

Around age 30, I snapped. And went zero-fucks for all those assholed. Pardon my language. One of the things that helps me recover from all the accumulated PTSD, is being zero-tolerance with people who put me on blast.

That's literally it. That's the reason. He quote-spouted me, to tell me I was wrong. That's it. That's all he did, but it crossed a line for me. He did not attack me. He was not mean to me. I don't get to argue about what is and is not swarming with the guy who was just on the cover of Wired.

But I didn't want to badmout @cbouzy at all. I value this place. I value his work. He's attacked nonstop. I didn't want to, as they say, dog-pile.

So I say to myself. I'm feeling triggered here. I don't want to say anything bad. I don't want to badmouth Spoutible or @cbouzy by explaining any of this. I'm just gonna bounce.

And people, all over the wold, are filling this empty space I left, with every G*ddam conspiracy theory, self-validating, narcissistic, spin, to attack him, or me, or both, because they can.

This included the Doubtible assholes who are lurking on all this right now, reporting this all back to Twitter, saying me leaving validates every insane conspiracy theory they've spun throughout time. I cannot have that. Stalkers are my least favorite people.

I understand all of this. I was also abused, physically and mentally. Repeatedly. Also triggered. Also almost deleted my account. Also dogpiled on. On the spectrum. Found possibly the worst person of all time on this site from twitter. Now crying. Because I'm a runner.💗💔💙

Oh no. I'm so sorry. You do whatever brings you the most peace. If you can block out all the haters here, the support from the vast majority of users is life-changing. But I understand that blocking out the noise can be impossible. I am very much not good at it. I'm here for you. 💖

I thought I was the only one. I thought I would leave for sure when you did. You can talk to me any time. I'm also saying that there is a horrid person on here who stole the acct of someone we loved on twitter less than a week after they died of cancer. it never fucking ends.
