It's a shame to see this busy blog closing down, but I can definitely empathise with its owner's position.

Love Wapping is closing down
Hello. And goodbye.
I can deal with the idiots who use fake Twitter profiles to abuse me or anyone else for my views.
There are so obviously politically motivated and so obviously the same person that they can just be ignored.
But when I get abusive and rude comments on Twitter from Wapping residents – have a look at tweets directed my way recently and you can work out who – I just ask myself why I bother?
Love Wapping is free to you. It costs me. That’s my choice.
Quite often it becomes a full time job. Doing each post is quite a lengthy process in itself but there is of course the research that goes into it as well.
And then there is all the stuff that goes on which never sees the light of day. It all takes a lot of time.
If people respect the basic norms of society (the politeness thing) I am quite happy to listen to all views.
But when it starts to get nasty AND PEOPLE INSIST ON USING BLOCK CAPS LIKE THIS SO THEY ARE SHOUTING I have been wondering why I bother.
Yes I know the vast majority of you are lovely people, but you are the silent majority.
It’s the bitter and twisted vocal minority that are the problem.
So that’s me done.
