I have done what I could.
I have shouted to the overlords of control.
I made my voice clear.
I have used my words to voice my opinion.
I made decisions based on what I can control.
I respect the choice of all others.
I admire my fellow writers.
I cannot abandon what I created, whether marred or scratched, defiled or invaded.
It is still my words, my spirit and thoughts. They can slap me down from a corporate stance, but I will again stand and nurture what is mine.
Words will be split between two worlds, a safe haven free from invasion and a haven that already owns so much of me.
This is my choice. Two avenues, two homes, all encompassing the pieces of me. I have done what I could.

An awesome entry. It made my day. Would you mind my printing it out so I can read it when I get myself backed against a wall?
Big hugs,
You're such a fantastic writer.

I hear ya-good choice.
That's the dilemna. Our love for what we did here, and what they've done, and if our love for what we do outweighs the exploitation. I don't know, it's all confusing me now.
The people behind the journals are more important than the banner ads defacing their work. I will continue to follow the writings of those I care about, regardless of whether they stay put or move. My decision personally was to move my blog to two places to get away from the ads. I feel that strongly about it.

Do you really think so? I am still a little bothered and confused. I was asking for advice from family members. They said follow my heart. My heart wants to come back, but i'm not sure. What do you think I should do? How did you come to your decision?
<sigh> This may end up being the way I go also. I'm still so upset about the ads (O.K... not so much the ads as the implementation and the not being given any choices part!), but I also miss my little place over here. I'm still torn...

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! No odd numbers, remember? 'Specially not three! Oy, gonna have a panic attack here...
Seriously though, you do what is right for you. As I said before, I'll follow wherever you go. Just so long as I can get front row seats to the beauty of Rebecca's words.

Hooray!!!!! Thank you...thank you... I am doing a Rebecca Happy Dance!

I know what you mean.
This just my opinion. I must be in the minority, but it would hurt me more to give up my journal and lose my friends than it ever would to see an ad over my space. I respect what others feel, though...
