BARUCH HASHEM!!!!!!

The malice, antipathy, and pure venom spewed from that site (Shmarya, and commentators alike) was absolutely repugnant!

Clearly written in bold red letters on the site is "FailedMessiah is not closing down. More details on its future will be posted Thursday."

That's a fancy way of saying we're done.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Which is a shame, because they brought up real issues that the orthodox community is not properly addressing.

I'm not even going to  comment. I just remember his sickening article when my neighbors family was horrifyingly destroyed in a tragic fire.

This is the beginning and the end of his goodbye letter definitely seems like it was sold

February 02, 2016
Goodbye And Thank You All
HereticI had a much longer post I was moments away from publishing when my computer crashed and I lost it, so I'll make this do-over post more concise.

I've been working on a deal that would allow me to work on anti-poverty issues and today, after about a year of trying, that deal came to fruition. That means I'll be leaving FailedMessiah.com, the website I founded almost 12 years ago.

So let me thank all of you who read, commented and debated here, those of you who agreed with me and even those of you who did not, and those of you who sent me stories, tips and pashkvils.

(deleted middle part)

I don’t approach this as a Reform Jew or as a Conservative Jew or as a Reconstructionist or Renewal Jew. I approach this now as a proud secular Jew, as a post-religions Jew who has far greater affinity for Baruch Spinoza or Theodore Herzl than for any rabbi or religious leader.

I want to thank the people at Diversified Holdings for their professionalism during these last months. They’ve promised to guard your confidentiality as I did, at least with regard to whatever you posted before this. (I hope they’ll post some type of privacy policy in the next day or two so you’ll know what they intend to do from here on out. Diversified’s people should begin regular posting soon, as well, probably by early Thursday.)

As for me, I’ll keep you posted on my anti-poverty work and other issues I’m working on or interested in if you follow me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/Shmarya) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/shmarya).

And with that, I thank you all again. This blog and its people have become like a second family to me. I will miss it and miss you all more than you will ever know

+1. Hopefully whoever takes over has a better approach.

If there was some sort of payoff, I'm sure he would have an article about it

Not if that would kill the deal.

Right, I'm just saying that unless it was a ton of money, I doubt he would pass up on such an opportunity

+1. He wasn't in this for the money. If you dedicate your life to a cause, you don't throw it away for a few bucks.
