Time for ODPI to check out: Due to a growing inability to maintain this blog in a consistent manner, ODPI is hereby discontinued. While it's extremely difficult to depart with many promising new developments happening here, a pretty strong intuition says this is exactly the right time for me personally to step aside from the Ohio abolition milieu. (Apologies for my neglect in not getting a statement posted sooner. It's been a struggle coming to terms with having to let go after much work trying to do this blog, and with so much more I wanted to do being left undone, and because of concern for anyone who might feel let down.)
Regards to all Ohio abolitionists (and "adieu!"). May you keep up the good fight (and not the bad!), whether long or (hopefully) short term.

May those with eyes (especially Buckeyes) finally see.

You will be sorely missed. Your work has been inspiring & made me a better blogger, lawyer & activist. Thank you

Scott: I echo what Karl said. You always had the news before the rest of us. I hope that maybe after taking a break, you might reconsider.

I am so sorry to hear that you have decided to end your blog. Since I do not live in Ohio it has been a great source for me to learn of all things ODP related.
Thank you for the work you have done!
