UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your comments, I changed the title of the post, I don’t mean to imply that Shahar and other won’t continue to blog, I wish you all the best, I will be back…
Due to some (rather dramatic) personal circumstances, I have to take an indefinite hiatus from blogging. If I can say this shortly and nicely, I have really enjoyed writing this blog and reading all the comments and getting all the emails, I hope you all do well and I wish you all the best. I hope that this blog continues in this present form, but I am afraid that I won’t be able to contribute to it on any regular basis. Those who know about my predicament, thanks for your support…
P.S. Probably too dramatic of an announcement, sorry for that…
Perverse Egalitarianism 
Take care of yourself Mikhail – I will miss your posts and comments.
All the best.
Hey Mikhail, sorry to hear you will be leaving us for a while. I do hope your predicament, whatever it might be, soon ceases to be one and we are again blessed by your bearded presence.
Best wishes, Mikhail. Come back soon!
But who will indirectly shame me for my ignorance of Kant!?! (Seriously though, take care.)
much missed, already.
Ditto all of the sentiments above.
I’ve learned a lot from your posts and hope you’re able to come back to the blogosphere soon.
Hope everything turns out well, Mikhail.
Your predicament, whatever it is, sucks. I already look forward to your return.
Good luck, and I hope everything shakes out!
%@#^! predicament.
Bon chance, hope to see you back soon.
You better get better or the blogosphere is doomed, we’ll try to fill in while you’re away!
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your support.
Lou, stop logging in to the blog from my computer or at least have the decency to log out – I think a public shaming like this should do you good.
