It’s been about a week since I deleted the “Epic Woe” posts, and let me tell you, the fallout over my decision to remove those posts has been substantial. I was wholly unprepared for the strong reactions those posts provoked, and in my eagerness to avoid complications, I took the posts down. I now feel that I was wrong to do so.

First, I’m sure I broke some kind of blogger code by deleting the posts. Of course, rules such as this one rarely concern me, so this principle alone did not finalize my decision to re post. Second, and more importantly, it’s my life that I’m writing about, and I strongly think that I have every right to post whatever I feel like posting.

There are, however, a few unwritten rules that I try to follow, which I will now list: I try not to be mean, I try not to rant or whine, I try to be honest in my often-unflattering depictions of myself, and I try to put facts first and remain as objective as possible.

Finally, these stories are meant to be funny (in a sense); if you don’t find them funny, then don’t read this blog.

I will re post the “Epic Woe” stories, now slightly edited, in the next few days. I plan on finishing this lengthy tale quickly so I can move on to other stories. Please stay tuned.
