Just canceled my Twitter account


For those of you who have been following me on Twitter — nothing personal, but I just canceled/deleted my Twitter account.

I simply could NOT justify the monumental waste of time and idiotic sp*mming that was going on. And once it snowballed to a certain point, there was no other way to get out of it.

I made the foolish mistake several months ago of getting started on trying to see how many followers I could amass, with dreams of Internet marketing millions dancing in my starry eyes. Let that be a lesson to those of you like me who are prone to all those “take a chance” and/or “get rich quick” schemes and scams out there. I wasn’t out any money for the effort, but I sure got into some sp*mmy neighborhoods.

Once my followers had skyrocketed past any reasonable level, most of them being sp*ammers and MLM nuts eager to send me recruiting messages, oh, say, about a billion times an hour — there was not weeding out the bad and keeping the good.

So — now you’ll know why I’m no longer “following” you, and why you no longer see “realwriterguy” on Twitter to kick around anymore. (LOL!)

If I ever decide to go back to Twitter, I’ll be sure to post some sane, useful way you can reach me.

    I can completely understand why you did that. Twitter has got to get that under control or it will be useless.
