3 November 2006 - Friday

Farewell

I have decided that it is time for me to discontinue The Elfin Ethicist. In fact, I knew several months ago that I would end it around this time.

I began blogging early in my undergraduate career, while I was still a teenager. (That was probably a mistake.) Over the months, The Elfin Ethicist has revealed my moments of creativity and boredom; fear and optimism; irritation and joy; pretentiousness and silliness; and immaturity and, I hope, some growth in understanding. My audience has changed as I have changed, and the site seems to serve a different purpose now from what it once did, if any at all.

Interestingly enough, my subtitle is more appropriate than ever.

Because The Elfin Ethicist bears the scars of my undergraduate years, because it no longer has a clearly defined target audience, because of my desire for a clean break as I begin my graduate studies, and because I anticipate having little time or confidence to post this year, I am stopping now.

Of course, I do not anticipate leaving the blogosphere entirely. I will still be reading weblogs and commenting occasionally. And someday, I may start writing for the web again.

Goodbye, everyone. It's been interesting.

I've thoroughly enjoyed your blog, and wish you the best of luck in your graduate studies!

Good-bye, Jonathan. Enjoy your clean break, and know that I'm praying for you up there with all that ridiculously cold weather. ;)

Hey, no fair! I was the one who didn't even want to start a blog until you (and some others) strong-armed me into it! No way do you get to quit before I do! I mean, don't you need, like, signatures, or something?

...

Okay, I'm just sad to see you go. As far as I'm concerned, the blogosphere is losing one of its finest members. But I can understand your reasons, and I wish you all the best.

Godspeed, Mr. Wilson. Godspeed.

I don't think I can say much without repeating already expressed sentiments. *Salute*. May your years of grad school be blessed and abound. Fare you well, sir.

You leave behind a gaping hole in my blogroll. You are certainly among the more superior bloggers in my (admittedly limited) experience. It almost feels like losing a friend.

I suppose I'll channel all the extra energy I won't be expending on digesting your blog into pestering you for similar mentally-stimulating material through other means of communication.

Farewell, yourself.

Good luck, even if we here from you less frequently!

The thoughts of NDR on 4 November 2006 - 8:43 Central
+ + + + +

*sigh* This is all quite depressing, really. I hope you realize this means you'll have to email people with random updates about how grad school is going.

But yes, like all the others, best of luck, and it's sure been fun while it's lasted. Godspeed.

The thoughts of Ardith on 4 November 2006 - 10:36 Central
+ + + + +

Understandable.

*is wistful*

But wait.....who's going to tell us about the History Carnivals??

The thoughts of Ma Hoyt on 4 November 2006 - 13:40 Central
+ + + + +

Wilson, I am sorry to see you stop. I have certainly enjoyed reading your blog, but I completely understand the reasons you laid out; after all, I'm quite horrible at keeping up my blog. For the record, I second Ardith's comment! Just because you're not blogging doesn't mean you get to dissappear!

+ + + + +

Jonathan, I'll miss The Elfin Ethicist very much. I do hope to read you again in the future and, perhaps, we'll meet one day at an AHA convention or some such thing. You certainly have my very best wishes.

The thoughts of Ralph Luker on 4 November 2006 - 22:11 Central
+ + + + +

Congratulations!

Really, deciding to move on is a kind of graduation, and you've produced a body of blogging which is quite substantial.

You're always welcome at my blogs and carnival, of course. Drop in anytime!

The thoughts of Jonathan Dresner on 5 November 2006 - 3:34 Central
+ + + + +

Thanks, everybody. You're too kind.

The thoughts of Wilson on 6 November 2006 - 13:50 Central
+ + + + +

Thanks for all the great blog posts. My RSS reader will miss your updates.

Cheers to the rest of your graduate career!

The thoughts of Eliot on 6 November 2006 - 14:42 Central
+ + + + +

Sir, you will greatly be missed, by more people than I expect you realize.

The thoughts of deep_friar on 6 November 2006 - 20:48 Central
+ + + + +

Yes, don't calculate the number or fidelity of your readers by the typical comment input. Your blog was so excellent that I never found time to keep up with everything you posted, and rarely had the courage to comment. But the blog was always interesting and enjoyable.

May God bless you in your graduate studies and in everything that follows. "Farewell" is an improvement on "goodbye", but even better... au revoir!

The thoughts of Sharon on 7 November 2006 - 12:08 Central
+ + + + +

Wow.
You'll be missed, cousin.

The thoughts of Jared on 10 November 2006 - 15:02 Central
+ + + + +

WWWIIIIIIIILLLLLLSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!

The thoughts of Chuck Noland on 10 November 2006 - 16:06 Central
+ + + + +

I'm sorry you're leaving. I've enjoyed reading your posts over the years. Thanks for your support and prayers the year I toured, and have a wonderful several years in grad school!

The thoughts of Rachel on 10 November 2006 - 16:18 Central
+ + + + +

Wow, that takes some serious guts. I mean, sometimes it seems like our idenity comes from our blog instead of our blog being a product of ourselves. Anyway, I surely don't think I'd ever had the guts to let mine go, but I do admire the action. Keep it real in grad school.

The thoughts of TANK on 19 November 2006 - 19:52 Central
+ + + + +

See you around - well done on keeping this blog alive and I'll miss your input into the WWW :)
