A Letter to all my Supporters and Followers

I’ve finally decided on a way forward. I couldn’t have done it without you.

I’ve made more than 8000 comments. It’s inevitable that a few of them would have caused offence. Own photo.

Hi Guys,

I have been deeply touched by all your support. This has included those who have subscribed to me, those who have written to me personally, those who have donated to me, and those who have voiced their support in the comments section.

First I want to say that I suspect that the warnings were not a result of my articles but rather a result of my comments. I read a lot on Medium, and as I have a big mouth, I have made in excess of 8,000 comments. The particular response that triggered the warning was something that is ‘protected’ on Medium, and therefore I cannot mention it here. I will, at some point, write an article about that on Patreon and Ko-f i— just not yet. Having had some days to think about the situation, I think Medium is wrong, but I understand why they took the steps they did.

I respect the right of Medium to make their own rules and policies. They had every right to say that I couldn’t say what I did say. It is their site, and they make the rules.

How I am going to proceed

No further reading of people I don’t follow, and no further comments on…
