After doing some more research on the massive attack on my recent submission, I've determined that yes, the brigade of trolls there is from DeviantArt and followed me there.  Their main target was not the song itself, though they did launch a relentless campaign against the song.  They also attacked Camelorum Adventures and any involved in making it or who liked it.  But then they started downvote campaigns to hamper the statistics of all my songs-including songs I submitted years ago that were never treated that way before the campaign.  It's clear now that the works themselves were fine.  The fans are fine.  The attackers were only going through that much trouble for one reason: personal hatred of me.

I can understand that when you make a difference anywhere - especially a positive one - you will have enemies.  Years back, I defended Jeanette Runyon from some particularly nasty "human" beings.  I also have bested quite a few in debates on Facebook and GirlsAskGuys.  One of those who lost an argument is bound to hold a grudge and seek revenge at some point.  

Running a Facebook page, keeping track of friends on there, contributing to news, running a YouTube channel, running a Tumblr blog, running a journal here on top of everything else I do here, being active on two wikis, playing MAA, making fan sprites of it, and managing a music collection, holding a job at a grocery store, trying to keep an apartment running....  Something's gotta give. I already put the game DLC center operations on hiatus.  My grandma's advice echoes that of May from 2002 Spider-Man: "You do too much.  You're not Superman, you know!"

Sometimes, it's good to take the old folks' advice. Time to downsize operations some more.  There will always be human locusts out to destroy all that is good.  But completed works are harder to attack, especially if a fandom is in place to go to war against said locusts.  That won't happen if nothing is ever finished, which means time to reduce the distractions.  As of today, no more AmIRight.  No more MAAF contests.  I'll finish the existing entries, and call that site good.  MAA is getting old anyway.  

Also, I've met a gal who seems pretty cool, and that could lead to moving up in life. At least everyone else is safe - for now.  I'll handle my locust problem on an as-needed basis.
