I'll leave with this. You have absolutely zero right to take up any amount of space in my head, nor on my posts.

You really are getting worked up for nothing. Nobody mentioned your name or your post, why not just move on with your life? This post is about the habit of authors hiding comments and about how it invalidates the opinions of the commenters. This post is not about YOU. So please stop justifying yourself and move on.

Redacted.

EDIT: Full deleted thread here.

EDIT 2: Cleaning things up here since it has gotten messy. Basically I'm asking that she not reply to me again and that I disagree strongly with her message above. I'll leave it at that.

@cher I gave it more thought, reread what I said, what you said and etc. Please accept my apologies on this and the original thread. I was definitely too pedantic in my last comment to you and cut it unceremoniously short, I honestly wasn't in the best state of mind at the time; however that's no excuse. When I saw the notifications, I selfishly felt very overloaded (nothing like what you're experiencing, I'm sure). I took it much to personally as well and that's my fault. I hope you can understand and I don't expect anything in return per se. I've already made sure to edit out or remove most of my statements if it helps.

I appreciate this a lot. I can understand feeling overloaded (I was there, too, when I started hiding comments to control the flow of notifications and repeating myself, mostly).

Hopefully we can all be a little more empathetic here and remember we're all just humans with totally different experiences trying to come together for a better understanding to work towards a more equitable and healthy environment.
