just wanted to say thanks, and im sorry
first of all, thanks to everyone who has read the blog, especially those of you who read it on a fairly regular basis (all three of you!). even more thanks to those who actually gave feedback about it...i think eventually if no one ever gave us any feedback, it would begin to lose its appeal, though i dont think i would have stopped regardless. either way, it always made it more enjoyable to read comments and remarks from you guys.
second of all, sorry to those of you who were offended by what i wrote at some point. i try to be a fairly equal opportunity offender, but you know some people who offend or annoy me more are going to get picked on a little more. just remember the hyperbolic nature of the comments and the obvious (at times) satirical value. also remember not to take yourself too seriously. why would you care even if i did believe every word on here (which i do)?
finally, you may ask yourself why thank people, and why apologize? well, thats it. this is the end of the blogging road for bruce dickinson. i've come to realize the error of my ways, and it is time to put my mind and creative talents into something more fruitful - pursuing a loving relationship with a woman.
stay classy...and...thanks for stoppin by

I just wanted to shed some light on why bruce and I are shutting down
You've all been great! Thanks for the debates and support and we hope you enjoyed it! Unless you were some of the people responsible for this bullshit -- in which case, I'm feeling a lot of aggression towards you right now.
P.S. Thank the ACLU for protecting my freedom of speech. I really appreciate it
