I cannot help but feel guilt when things like this happen. I wish more people were respectful of the genuine effort you are making, Kat, as well as how you’ve been suddenly thrust into the responsibility of being the owner of the ask site for a bunch of mentally ill teenagers without anywhere else to go.

The block button exists for a reason. DMs exist for a reason. I feel like everything can be solved via communication — but perhaps that’s just me? It’s even worse when people simply perpetuate rumors that have been debunked time and time again.

I’m sorry, Kat. Please know that the majority of us see the effort you’re making and appreciate you dearly. I hope those who sent emails will listen. Thank you for everything you do.
