OK, I get it…
On one lousy post back in July I put five names in a list. The list was titled, “five people that, should they google themselves, should contact me.”
One already turned out semi-disastrously, with a scathing “what the hell” email (she knew who I was instantly). At least she was willing to accept my apology and we do email periodically now.
Oddly, a few days later I got an email from someone on another one of those names. Kind of a “who the hell are you, and how the hell do you know so-and-so?” Weirded me out a bit, but that quieted down quickly.
Well, yesterday I got a hit from someone googling that name from Delaware. Today, someone googled from a lawyer’s office in NYC. I just shake my head.
So I took it down. First time I’ve self-edited here for any reason other than grammatical or format. A little disappointing if you ask me.
Was there anything there that was more than innocuous? Nope. But I’m irritated enough to just take it right the hell down anyway.
Can’t a guy write in his journal without fear of getting sued?
Oh, and a slight side note… If
you’re reading this – and you know who
you are – no commenting on the site, alright? Deal?
