After some consideration and advice from others, I have determined to close down my anonymous asks. For the most part there have been no issues with them, but I do not like the fact that I do not have the freedom to respond to many of them as I would like since my responses have to be made publicly rather than privately.
I promise you, if you want to ask me something and do not want it shared, please know that I will keep it strictly between us. So do not hesitate to reach out.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and curiosity, but I must admit that your last direct message ventured into territory that makes me uncomfortable discussing in such a public forum.
If you truly desire an answer, I kindly request that you reach out to me privately and directly, rather than anonymously, so that I can maintain a sense of privacy and preserve the element of mystery.
