I regret the feelings that have developed, with respect to my art and writing. It's not easy for me to gauge comments for their degree of sincerity or sarcasm because of my Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism. It causes me to focus on lines of thought or other areas that appear to be stilted and focused. So I responded to comments about my art or other items of discussion that really did nothing but cause a firestorm of anger and ridicule.

Very sorry for fueling that; you all probably have better things to do than gang up on someone who is not up to the task of defending himself, and I really only wanted to share a little bit of my world...as different as it may be from yours.

At the time, even in what I took as mean-hearted and hateful comments, I realize that many of your comments really did have at their core something that was meant for me to understand how to communicate and respond and operate in a world outside of mine. So, in that, thanks for trying.

So I really do mean this in a sincere way of good will, may God bless you.

Farewell.
