(Painting by Gustave Dore: "Jacob wrestling with the Angel")Two bloggers, Fighting in the Mud, and theTruth, have each suddenly had an epiphany. Ah, the miracles that occur during the Christmas season. It does my heart good.
Now, what would cause the mud-fighter to shut down his/her blog and thesupposedTruth to substantially soften his/her stance? Was it the feeling of goodwill towards their fellow man?
Or could it possibly be pressure from the lawyer, John Tiedt, and/or the principal participants in the civil lawsuit against Heidi Diaz aka Kimmer and the Kimkins diet scam?

Adieu
I wanted to answer one of the comments that I got this evening. I was asked why I wasn’t posting comments. As I said in one of my earlier blog posts, I stopped posting the comments for several reasons. First of all, I didn’t want people tallying up the “fors” and “againsts”, and I was concerned that some of the posters might be identified by their words. Also, some used their normal “handles”, and some of them asked to not have their comments posted. Rather than agonize about what to post or not post, I decided after posting the first few that I would not post any.
Secondly, the same poster questioned my comments about my blog being compromised, and the poster said it was only “my” word that it had really happened. That is correct. It is only “my” word. I may be a lot of things, but a liar I am not.
I have decided that I have said all I can or should say about Kimkins. I had really hoped that it might start people thinking, but after seeing the “Fascination thread” today, I realize that it probably isn’t going to happen.
I want to close by addressing just one more issue. It’s been said so many times that if people had stopped questioning in thread one that there would be no lawsuit. That is true. It’s been said that if we had stopped digging and investigating in thread two that there would be no lawsuit. That is true. The same thing can be said for many of the threads that followed the first two.
The difference between what happened then versus what is happening now is that now there is a lawsuit to consider. In thread one, there was nothing to lose. Now that we are in thread twelve, there is a lot to lose.
I’ve said all I need to. Thank you again to the people who understood what I was trying to say, and to the others, I will borrow Jeanessa’s words, “Let the chips fall where they fall.”
I will leave the blog up for several more days, and I will then remove it.

One Last Package under the Tree
I removed the bulk of my last post after its overnight existance, out of a desire not to further stir the pot this holiday season. My opinions remain unchanged, but may be somewhat softer than were initially conveyed. I may or may not come back in my former capacity after the holidays but I am not making that decision today. I assure all I remain committed to truth and justice for all those that deserve to be dragged into their light. If I have a part to play, I'll try to do so.
I'll close with a plea that we all just get along for a few days and think inward to the things that are most important to us. Seriously, though, Happy Holidays to those of all faiths.
Peace.
