I'm serious.

It is clear that IPW can no longer serve the purposes for which it was founded.  It is no longer, and can never again be, a forum for free and unfettered discussion.

The world is on notice that IPW is now a censored site -- censored by whomever it displeases, so long as they trouble themselves to threaten a frivolous lawsuit.  Even if that never happens again, we all know that it might, and we are apparently expected to exercise prior restraint by confining ourselves to the innocuous.

I do not mean to criticize you for your decision.  It is hard enough to pay the price for one's ideals.  It is even harder to make your family pay the price as well.  You have already contributed far more than I ever have, and I will always be grateful for it.  But it's over, and there is no point in pretending otherwise.
