You know, I'm sick of debating.
I consistently try, in various LJ discussions, to use ample empirical evidence, sound arguments, error checking, and to explore all sides of an issue and all the myriad of complex factors that go into it. In response, I usually get ideas that just sound good, personal attacks, bumper sticker slogans, inaccurate talking points, and many fallacies, fired off angrily. I'm really sick of the Special Olympics Lovechild that is the internet debate scene - you can't argue with these people, and most of my good discussions have been over AIM when I talk to the more thoughtful people directly. I'm not going into the details, but suffice to say if you're reading this I added you because I consider you to be in the thoughtful group.
Still, I am easing back on the throttle and ceasing getting into debates, especially as my Army career and other things demand my focus. I will still use LJ to post my film when it is done, of course, but I am now going to focus more on FurAffinity (as 'Akhetnu' my former fur name), as well as @Kraygern on Twitter (no, I won't link my tweets here unless a good number of you actually want me to). I will post the film on those sites as well (or links thereto). From what I have seen, most if not all of you are on one or both of those sites anyway.
As for posting, my tweets will likely be philosophy quotes, important life updates, or social plans and banter with friends, sort of a Taoist 'free and easy wandering' through the forest of cyberspace. My FA involvement will be limited to viewing art, and similar subjects to Twitter for those not on there. No massive 100-comment arguments anywhere on FA or LJ if I can help it.
If I do write anything comprehensive, I will try to focus it on military subjects: strategy, tactics, intelligence, logistics etc., or Chinese philosophy and history. The military subjects will mainly be doctrinal or technological in focus, as opposed to specific real world missions. Expect conjecture, knowledge and fun brainstorming either way, not heated arguments or polemic. In fact, I might even institute rules against such things. I will likely put any of that on both FA and LJ, so don't defriend me just yet.
So kick back, relax, and add me on FA or Twitter if you're there. Feel free to AIM me as well. But right now, I'm drawing down from LJ and redeploying elsewhere.

Actually it's the first time I'm doing this, but you get my drift.
Pretty much, if I'm not as cool a dude as you thought, or I offend your sensibilities, or anything else, you can take me off your flist now. If, like. You were worried about me asking questions or something. Or felt that nagging sense of guilt. Or. Or something. I'm just bad at friends cuts so uh you guys do the work for me
You don't even have to tell me you're doing it I'll just check every once in a while
Have at it!
In other news I've been running the heater. I feel like scum.

Songs, movies, TV and comic books do not 'corrupt' children by making them sexual.
That is puberty's job, and it does it much better anyway.
