“So between the inability or refusal of some people to accept the blog for what it is a personal blog and my inability to continue to be Cassandra, I decided it was time to pull the plug.”

Such a burden it must be to have a self-expectation of always being right. So what if other people don’t like what’s written. Can’t handle the heat, then surely it IS time to vacate the kitchen.

But seriously, that is interesting and actually the bit I found most interesting/depressing was the reason for leaving 1) — people/journos incapable of separating the personal and the professional. And the crazies. It sounds like it was a valuable and interesting resource for people, pity.
