No doubt you’ve seen the news. For obvious reasons I won’t be blogging here anymore, though I will leave the archives up. I hope you’ll pray to whatever God you believe in, and heap endless scorn and abuse on the first goddamn hack that dares to try snooping around to find out what’s wrong. I mean it. No staking out the hospital, no asking around among my friends. No calling doctors and asking them to speculate on what might be going on. Anyone who does that is lower than dog shit stuck to a shoe, and I hope that when you see stories like that — because you will — you use their comment strings to express your outrage for being the kind of scumbags who would put their own hunger for unique visitors and pageviews ahead of a man’s right to privacy.
Katie says she will be keeping a list. So, consider yourselves warned.
For now, peace out. Much love. Namaste.

Now that Steve is dead, what will happen to Fake Steve?…
Fake Steve (FSJ) stopped posting after Real Steve (RSJ) took his final leave of absence in January 2011. He kept character, but said he was done. He adamantly requested respect for RSJ’s privacy. > No doubt you’ve seen the news [RSJ’s leave of absenc…
