Thank you. I'll be seeing you around!

Thank you all for your support in the last couple of days. I’ve been completely overwhelmed by the number of comments, notes, text messages, and phone calls I’ve received. I had no idea my journal entry would draw this much attention; it was an outcry of frustration, not a political statement, and the response to it has taken me completely by surprise.
To set the record straight regarding a number of issues brought up in comments:
1.
I’m okay and I’m safe. I’m currently working in another city than the one known to the user harassing me, and my fursuits are stored with a member of my family, so there’s little chance my stalker will find either me or my suits even if he does show up at my home.
2.
Dragoneer has been in contact with me regarding the situation and I am hopeful the FA moderators will work to prevent the user harassing me from preying on other members of this site. However, I still feel the situation was inadequately handled.
3.
I will not be deleting this account, as it holds evidence against my stalker as well as photos of other people’s fursuits which the owners have favourited. I will, however, create an account elsewhere to post new fursuit photos when I take out Ngala and Breynz again.
4.
I apologise for mentioning my gender and the gender of my stalker in an offensive way. I realise my previous journal entry was poorly worded (as I said, it was an emotional outlet not intended to reach such a large audience) and distress caused me to generalise personal experiences; while I have only ever been threatened online with physical and sexual violence by men, I know women can and do stalk men and other women too. Please stop sending me angry messages about this.
5.
I am not leaving the furry fandom forever. I just need some time to regain my footing after everything that has happened. But while I have been disappointed with the actions of a few members of the community, my overall experience with the furry fandom has been incredibly positive, and I am very grateful for the support and kind words I have received. Thank you so much for your empathy and offers of assistance!
For now, I’ll be signing off. I’ll be fursuiting again in the future, though, and if you see me, do come and say hi. Also, feel free to post any photos of my fursuits wherever you like (but please no photos of me out of suit). Thank you. I'll be seeing you around!

I've heard that Inkbunny ( www.inkbunny.net ) is better when it comes to dealing with problems of this sort than FA. But that was from an article that had nothing good to say about Fur Affinity, mainly because of something that had happened here over a year ago (maybe over two years ago), which was before I had any idea of the furry fandom's existence.
Hope to stay in contact and see you again
And thank you time, Sweety :) And I look forward to suit with you again <3
Therefore - and to show my own support towards you in this case I'm glad to hear that you are OK and safe Tarangryph and wish you only the best :)
Thank you for sharing your work throughout your time here on FA.
And I can understand why you need a brake, so take care.
*a blue and white dragon walks up to you and gives you a hug*
I'm glad you're doing/feeling better.. and I hope that your stalker gets the mental HINT to leave you alone.
