Why I removed the chat box

You want to know why I removed the chat box?

Men and "women" spammers.

Messages day and night:

"Hello"

"How are you"

"Is this website active"

"Hello"

If I'd answer they'd invariably be some horny man who apparently liked a sixty-something woman's picture so much that he just wanted to "chat" - at all hours. Or someone trying to sell something.

It got so bad I had to put my phone on do not disturb at nights.

I woke up to a whole page of them this morning

That chat box went to my home phone. I gave you the privilege of talking to me.

Not any more.

You want to get my goddamn attention? Buy my fucking books.

And fucking read them. You might learn something.
