Well...now that things have settled down somewhat I hope I can post my reactions without anyone getting emotional. I've already explained myself numerous times so I don't feel like I need to do that again. I really am just surprised at the overwhelming backlash I get. I almost felt as if I had ostracized myself. I did anticipate some opposition as I had acknowledged that people enjoyed the ShoutBox but I did not acknowledge the amount of emotional attachment the ShoutBox had for some people considering its short existence. All I can say is that this got way more dramatic than it had any reason to be. Most people who reacted negatively to me have apologized though not all. In any case, I still stand by my decision to bring up this issue and I feel like the best choice was made.
