There, I said it.

Every time I open my editor window, I want to write very ugly, nasty things.

FUCK YOU, BRUCE.

You know, stuff like that.

Because I keep seeing all these entries thanking Bruce for making OD. But I don’t see anyone thanking US. WE made OD what it is. Bruce gave us the place to do it, but WE — the diarists — made it what it is. WE turned it from a website into a community. And we made Bruce. If we had not come here and made our lives here, this place would have died years ago, and he’d not be so quick to brag that he "invented social media." 

So how does Bruce thank us? He neglects us and the site for years. He takes our money and does nothing to maintain the site. He ignores our pleas for some kind of communication. He dumps a bunch of shit onto EWS, who willingly takes all the bile thrown at him that’s meant for Bruce. And then he writes us some bullshit "heartfelt" eviction notice and doesn’t even have the courtesy to give us an exact date. Just some vague notice that someday soon, he’s shutting off the lights here and putting our shit out on the curb.

I am not going to thank him for treating us like shit! No thank you, Bruce. Instead, I stick by what I said earlier:

FUCK YOU, BRUCE.
