Since early September of 1996 I have maintained this website off and on, adding, improving, or subtracting materials that were no longer pertinent. I have long been known to the internet as a so-called "open book", openly expressing my beliefs and thoughts, and in doing so making many great friends of the years. Since the Golden Age of the internet now is waning with a far more conservative aspect to it, adhering to a certain sense of anonymity, I grew to be a man out of touch with the times - and as a result I got flamed.

      A few short days ago I learned that a friend of mine in middle school was being punished for associating with me because I believe in a naturalist religious faith versus mainstream Christian faiths. It would have been one thing for the parents to come to me to ask me not to discuss this topic with their son, which I hadn't anyway, but instead he suffered as a result of my "open book" policy. While I remain unashamed of my beliefs I am ashamed of the fact that someone suffered punishment as a result of my beliefs. It's been a wonderful, long run, ladies and gentlemen - nearly 13 years - but it's time for this Cyber-Knight to lay down his sword and shield, and retire both his title and his 'estate' amidst the internet. It is with a heavy heart that I do now declare that I am shutting down SirTenzan's Web Site after all of these years.

      I don't really know if any of my ramblings or works have helped anyone on the internet, and at this point it seems irrelevant. The fact that one person suffered due to my internet presence was one too many. Thank you, to all my loyal readers and subscribers, and look towards the shelves of book stores for my upcoming works in the future.
