Thanks for all the words of support.
I fully understand the anger at my announcement, but you need to understand it was a snap decision. I spent the last 8 years doing stuff for readers and for once I needed to think about myself.
The only way to do that, or so it seemed at the time, was to just close the damn thing and worry about the consequences later.
If the site had just closed like I announced then it would have been a dick move, but the world doesn't revolve around what other people want.
Anyway, no point arguing over it.
I can't wait for the worst kind of people in the world to arrive and claim this was a stunt to get more people to use his site or whatever.
I joked with William yesterday about that. I just wish I had been smart enough to think of it myself. As Michael O'Donoghue said when he heard Elvis had died, 'Good career move.'
