“Am I the righteous or the damned?”

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here.

 

To be perfectly frank (while still maintaining my signature brevity):

 

I wasn’t sure I was necessary in these parts any longer.

 

 

Our section of the web (Manosphere) has changed drastically.

 

In many ways, these days, it’s hardly recognizable.

 

So many have disappeared – faded or forced out.

 

Attitudes of our audiences have shifted. 

 

Some so much so they’re 180º from where they began.

 

[As a point of pride, some are now in line with what I’ve been saying for years and, in fact, took flack for touting.]

 

Thus, I considered it the arrival of my expiration date.

 

 

 

Now, ► I made a promise ◄, so I did not move to delete the blog and had every intention of replying to comments on older posts.

 

But new thoughts, hypotheses and observations would be kept to myself or, more rarely, shared with only close, “real life” friends.

 

My mind has changed again, however, as I recently pondered my choice.

 

 

 

What little “old guard” remains hasn’t changed their tune.

 

Yet, their readership is aging. 

 

Certainly there’s always new blood but a somewhat surprising development had manifested.

 

Much of the old blood suddenly realized they had evolved.

 

While noticing those they read really hadn’t.

 

Which brings me to tonight’s point.

 

 

For all my flaws (and they are myriad), labels such as “one note”, “repetitious” and “same old, same old” cannot justly be ascribed to me.

 

I discuss many topics and address many concerns.

 

All with a perspective… somewhat left of Heaven.

 

 

Thus, here’s my promise:

 

One post a week for 2018.

 

52, of which this is the first.

 

Like a deck of cards, some will be worth more than others.

 

Don’t blame the dealer for that (it’s the nature of the game, after all).

 

Since, in the end—

 

It’s up to you to build a winning hand with them.
