Scratch that, I'm gone.

I'm fully aware this journal will be deleted or scrubbed within a few hours of being posted. Don't particularly care. It just feels appropriate to get in some final words.
I often try to separate who a person is from what they help create, when it is relevant, particularly with regards to visual art, writing, film, and music. There are some pretty bad examples of human beings out there who regardless make interesting stuff that is worthwhile to take in, and as long as their assholery is such that I don't feel actually uncomfortable giving them money, things can go well.
Sometimes--sometimes rationally, sometimes not--I can't do that. I can't separate creator from content. There are instances of me not seeing movies by director X, or being exposed to much music by artist Y, and so forth, because who they are as a person cannot be separated from their product in my mind.
Websites tend to be different. We don't usually know much about the person who handles a website, and that suits us just fine. We're really there for the content. Open up the tab, poke around, and close it again.
So it's really kind of a wonder what's happened here.
Without trying to sound smug, I "left" here at about the right time, and now my leaving is official (BAWWWW LEAVING FOREVER whatevs). This website--or more accurately the man in charge of it--does not need the attention of even leaving my files on here. You're welcome for the freed-up few megabytes of bandwidth, by the way.
I've met some nifty people on here. I will continue to be in touch with them, outside the boundaries of this place. I can see new work from them through other channels, I don't need FA to do it.
Dragoneer, I've heard a lot of stories about you. Too many, with too much evidence. And I can't ignore those stories any more. One person leaving is a drop in the bucket on a site this large, and doesn't affect anything, it's true--hell, minor changes bring out the BAWWW LEAVING FOREVER journals and everything still chugs along. But regardless of the insignificance of my action...
Ban me.
Ban me, you frighteningly irresponsible man. Scrub this account completely from the servers. MalloCat too. That ought to get your censorship fetish nice and revved anyway, right?
I'm out, friends. See you where I know you.

Ever considered Weasyl? It seems to be the place of choice for artists who are leaving. If you've already got one, mind sending me a note there? I'm Jehauri on Weasyl.
