I don't understand. Why keep an online diary if you're not interested in hearing others thoughts and comments? Why not just keep a private journal for yourself if you're not into hearing back from people? Why cut off those who care about you and want to send you words of encouragement? It feels like a slap in the face or something.

I don't know. I don't get it. I may have closed down my other diary but I did, at least, keep a contact link open, you know? So please someone enlighten me- why keep an on line journal and then take down your guestbook, your email etc. If you don't feel like writing then don't write. Why is this difficult?
