Dear Randall,
When I want to read xkcd, I want to read a webcomic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language. I see that there is no ``humour'' listed there, but, taking a peek at earlier strips, I can safely assume that one of xkcd's goals was to amuse its readers.
Nowadays, most comics seem to deal with the failures of your personal life[1][2][3][4][5]. While I cannot objectively state that it is not interesting, I can say that I, and many of the older readers, check their xkcd with the intent of being amused. This is hardly possible, having the recent love-spam (dare I call it so) in mind.
When you look above the strip itself, one can see links to numerous sub-sections of the web-site. One of them is a blog, or, as you humourously refer to it, a ``blag''. I see no reason not to refrain from revealing the meanders of your life there.
I, too, have lost a someone dear to me recently. But, unlike you, I did not have the urge to tell the entire world how do I feel. So, Randall, please visit a psychologist instead of trying to deal with your problems by making them everyone's problems.
So please, keep things where they belong and don't entirely derail your once-great webcomic into the areas of love and emotion.
