Far be it from me to disabuse people of the notion that King isn't worth the effort. His politics make it so that regardless of if his literary efforts were worth the effort to read or not - he doesn't need any more money. 

His movies have consistently been terrible - his television shows even worse. They're bad adaptations in most cases - and a lot of his plots don't lend themselves well to cinema. Cujo is a 400+ page novel that spends most of its time with a mother and son dehydrating slowly locked in a hot car with a rabid dog outside. Not a lot of excitement in that. 

His writing style is not everyone's cup of tea. He does a lot of exposition - and some of it is incredibly detailed and has no actual bearing on the plot. Two pages describing in detail the brand, pulp, color, taste, and fragrance of a cup of OJ the character has poured for his breakfast. That isn't *much* of an exaggeration.

King was terrible even before he outed himself as a hate factory. But then when he did, it signalled that there would be no improvement forthcoming.

I notified Facebook they are on an indefinite suspension from receiving my traffic or content creation for violating my user-agreement regarding arbitrary and unreasonable community standards enforcement practices.

I've been warned here... usually about using the support forum as my personal blog and not leaving subjects in the subject field... 

And occasionally about being a dick unnecessarily to Loanshark. 

But other than that - I keep my nose pretty clean on Uncensored.

You have to commit to it. Don't just "suspend" or "deactivate" your account.
That's a trick they use to put a bug in the back of your head to know that you can always come back later if you change your mind. And at some point, when you're bored or whatever, you will come back to your abuser to get another beating. "It'll be different this time," you say, "I'll only check in on the family and not get pulled into all the other drama," and before long you're immersed in the same abuse that made you leave the first time.

You have to DELETE your account. Yes, it takes longer. Yes, they hide the buttons. DO IT. You have to apply for a permanent deletion and then you have to exercise enough self control to avoid wandering back in during the mandatory "waiting period" during which all will be forgiven and you become a fully made faceborg again by simply entering your user name and password.

Block all of their domains. If no one in your home is a faceborg you can do it at the network level, otherwise do it on your own computer. You'd be surprised how much crap advertising disappears from all web sites when you block their domains, even if you don't use any other ad blocking software.
Block them from your email too, because they will send you emails talking about how much your "friends" miss you.

You can do it. If I can do it, you can do it, and I've been clean for almost ten years. Once the account is truly deleted, the temptation to return and be abused again is smaller.

True.

But we all get along well, and always have. Even with our differing political opinions. Family comes first.

Seems pretty zippy to me. 

Watching memory use in Proxmox - I'm wondering if Citadel might not have some memory leaks. It might just be Debian. But my memory utilization just tends to climb and climb until a reboot. Then it starts over again.
