Getting serious... I don't want to participate in this forum anymore, at least not on the usual terms characteristic of open forums. There is clear fragility here and I’m not interested in further aggravating it in any way.
This has been on my mind for a long time. It’s why I drop out of sight for weeks at a time. My business has been expanding and is now requiring a lot of my time. I love what I’m doing and have no intentions of stepping away from it.
As soon as I come up with a new business name I am going to retire the “jdstox” alias. That is likely in the next few days. When I do come back it will be with a new alias. I will clearly identify myself and I will be posting under my own terms, as always.
Although it’s great fun to have personal exchanges with people on here, especially with those who use their anonymity to be jerks, it is becoming increasingly clear to me that I don’t want to be a part of such a self-destructive place as this forum can be. Frankly, too many people on this forum are destructive, and not enough of the good guys participate. In some ways it's hard not to care about this forum, but frankly, I can't be bothered with nonsense anymore.
I think that it’s more appropriate that I continue my work on a private forum, with only occasional “serious” posts on here and on other, more effective, social media. (You can’t even post on Stockhouse in one of Canada’s official languages, French, because Stockhouse doesn’t allow accented characters for fear that somebody might cuss using an accented character to defeat SH's cuss detector. Stockhouse needs to spend more time making its website work better. My guess is that there is no spell checker here because they won't work with SH's cuss detector.)
In the future, all of my posts will be mirrored on my website and there will be content on there that is not posted here. I have no idea when I can get that website going. I need to make sure that I have the available time to populate it with content. When I have decided upon new business and social media identities I will again post here, but in no real personal way.
Note that I will still be communicating with my many Bioasis friends. I always enjoy that. I don’t have a lot of answers right now. Deals may come, are likely to come, but there is no deal until the money’s in the bank.
I remain under contract with Bioasis and will be increasing my activities as they relate to that contract.
Ok, gotta go back to the real work. More to come, just differently.
