I pruned comments....

On "My Long-Ass Deconversion Story".  I realize that it's my blog and I don't HAVE to explain myself, but I wanted to.

That story was just that, a story.  It wasn't open for prostelytizing or criticism or accusations or petty insults.  It wasn't written as an argument, and it got treated like one.  

I DO still have all of the rest of the comments from the thread in question for anyone who was involved in it and might want to see them.  I left the comments that weren't a part of it.  I thank Stephen and Harley for your defense and Anon-troll and my brother Will for your points of view, correct or incorrect, whether I might disagree with them or not.

I thank everyone else who read and responded (and those who DIDN'T respond) for your respect and consideration and I appreciate your involvement in my life via this blog (again, whether you respond or not.)  

For anyone who might have a problem with me deleting discussions you are welcome to your opinion, but I will warn you that my most likely response will be "tough cookies, it's my blog."

Sometimes, a story is just a story.  You can either appreciate it or not bother with it.

Love,
Crystal

I think that people just get worked up about religion, any religion. When they feel like their faith is being challenged, they react, even if it's not directed at them personally.

I know--I've been the recipient of that reaction more times than I can count. But it just really galls me that they couldn't have the tact to let you express yourself in your own friggin' journal. Sheesh.
