"The Truth About Dennis Marks" Is Now Closed

As you may have noticed, this blog has not been updated for awhile. That is because the subject of this blog, an individual I have come into conflict with in the past, has decided not to engage me as of late. At least NOT to disagree in the manner he has in the past.

I have, however, up until recent developments, left open the possibility that I might post an occasional commentary. Because I still have a few uncompleted posts in my DRAFT folder.

Posts that I started writing because I read something that really offended me, found unbelievably absurd, etc. And I felt that I had to respond. But I just didn't get around to completing these commentaries. Because my focus was elsewhere, and also due to the reason I gave for this blog's inactivity.

That said, I am not deleting anything. Simply because I don't do that. I have, however changed the visibility of the blog from "Listed on Blogger. Visible to search engines" to "Not listed on Blogger. Not visible to search engines" (under Settings/Privacy).

What this means is that TADM posts will no longer show up in Google search results. Not immediately, but eventually this will mean that the blog will become effectively invisible. Or, there won't be any way for anyone to find it except via a direct link (such as the link to it on my sidebar WHICH WILL REMAIN). There are links in posts I've written on my primary blog SWTD, although these are all older posts and I doubt anyone has looked at any of them in a long time.

Anyway, the point is that this blog got little traffic in the past and will likely get even less in the future. Less mostly because I haven't been updating it with new posts. Now probably none/effectively none with the Settings change I just made.

That does not mean that there is zero possibility that this blog will ever become active again. But I doubt that there will be future posts. If there are any future posts they might be of the "polite disagreement" variety. I am not planning anything along those lines, though. I only mention it as a remote possibility.

Or, it could return with no changes (with posts of the "hostile disagreement" variety). Although I'm only throwing that out there because I have no idea could happen that MIGHT convince me to bring back TADM in the future. There was one comment concerning union members/supporters "going full Pol Pot" that REALLY offended me. There is a commentary in my DRAFT folder responding to that one that I did intend to finish.

I wish I had. But now I guess I'll just let it go. Unless something changes in the future. But, as per the title of this post, for now the blog is closed. For now and for the foreseeable future. By which I mean that the odds are LOW that there will be any future posts.
