Resolutions

Once upon a time, I began this diary as a form of therapy, and as a source of evidence concerning the actions of an Internet predator.

The authorities, both federal and local, have done absolutely nothing to the person who hurt me, despite the fact that there were many instances of forgery, identity theft and mail fraud. Despite the prodigious amount of evidence that exists online and on paper, he's just not a big enough fish to fry, and the predator is still at large, spreading his meshes and exerting his wiles. He's a sad little creature who truly deserves to be put away and punished for what he has done to me, and to others, but the lines between right and wrong are just not that definite these days.

And that saddens me.

In short, I have finally figured out that, with respect to the relevent authority figures who could actually do something about this -- none of them give a shit. At all.

But the thing is, I'm finally okay with that to an extent.

What I'd like to do, with your kind permission -- is to re-edit my Diary.

I won't be butchering it, and I won't be trying to hide things -- but there are now two factors to consider:

One -- I do want to make a little more room in the area where images are stored. I maintain two diaries solely for the purpose of uploading images, and two is all I can afford.

Two -- I've come to terms with most of the things I wrote about Way Back When. I can't see that they would be of much interest at all to anybody but me, or to anybody in authority. And since I finally understand that the second part of that equation is no longer relevent, I just want to go ahead and purge. It's part of the healing process in my mind's eye, and even if nobody but me understands that, I still need to do it.

I will leave my Top Ten alone. I will leave my Cast Page alone.

And mostly the stuff from about the year 2003-2004 is all I'm considering for removal / editing. Mostly the posts consisting of me shaking my fist at the skies and vowing not to stop til the predator is dealt with.

That's turned out to be merely noble, as opposed to practical.

---

Is this okay with you guys? I think there's enough information online as to what the predator did and why he should be stopped, and I feel I've done my part. I also believe the predator will one day be accountable for his actions.

But I'm ready to move on.

I'd like your blessings as I do so.

That's pretty much it. Have a good day, friends.
