I've met so many wonderful, sincerely open and talented bloggers here on Vox, but members who solely use the site to publicize their enslavement to porn keep adding me to their neighborhoods, and it's getting a little annoying.
Note: I am not referring to friends who like to express their artistic appreciation of specific Homo sapiens body parts, or their passion for or encounters with actual sex as one feature among others in life. Instead I am speaking of the commercial and non-commercial distribution of internet pornography under the disguise of a friendship request.
At first, when these members were few and far between, I didn't mind - not because I'm into porn, but it didn't vex me too much since they are just 2D images on a page fueled by a person (or group of people) in an attempt to gain something(?) they seem to be desperately missing....
In other words, porn sites are hardly real people. They are only pictures and talk about sex - ugly sex, in my opinion, but that is completely off the subject. While I think that sex is one of the most beautiful and thrilling aspects of creation, there is much more to people, and life, than eroticism anyway.
So, while I am eternally grateful for cyber friendships, near and far, tight and minutely acquaintanced, my patience only lasts so long before my time feels much too wasted by requesting Vox Feedback to delete the increasing array of porn sites (the only way of reporting these non-people) and messaging the new neighbors to ask them to please remove me from their sorry neighborhoods (the only way of disassociating my blog from theirs.) If I am mistakened about this Vox technicality, I would appreciate the correction.
As long as you are not primarily online to sell me something I don't need, or using Vox, or any other site, to spend your valuable life making porn addicts, I would like to be your friend. I love people and among our great stupidity I have found amazing attributes within humans that far outweigh the things that make me roll my eyes and sigh a great long sigh. But I can't get to know you through your porn site.
Facebook has worked great for me as far as friendships are concerned. I can stay in touch easily with new and longstanding friends/family and I have never had to view porn ads nor have I received requests to be their "neighbor". I am on MySpace too (for the music) and if you would like to stay in touch with me, as well as my blogs, feel free to send me a friend request if you are a member too. I never deny genuine friendship requests and I never delete friends, although I also understand why some people prefer to use the delete button.

My plan is to transfer my Vox posts to another blogging network, most likely Wordpress, and then I'll delete this account. I will regret losing contributing reader comments.
I hope to somehow stay in touch with all of you Vox peeps, and I wish you genuine happiness for your soul.
Paz,
Elizabeth
