The Following Has Been Deleted and Does Not Exist

I deleted a comment from this blog. As a believer in my right to freely express what I want, I want it clearly understood that the freedom of expression has limits. If your expression drowns out my expression, it is prohibited.

There is very little that will be deleted. If you post something libelous, I will not delete it. If you post something libelous and the person finds out about it and complains, I will not delete it. If you post something libelous and the person finds out about it, complains, and then sues me, it’s gone faster than you can say nolo contender.

Actually, the guilt has gotten to me, so I will make a confession. It was a posting from a fan from Nigeria. It seems this reader has a million dollars in a deceased’s relative account but he can’t move the money out of the country. Fortunately, as an American, I can claim the money under American law with a $15,000 deposit. We will then split the money when I get it. To ensure that I am credit worthy for the $15,000, I provided the reader with my credit card numbers and bank account numbers. Plus, he is so nice, I sent him a bottle of Scotch.

I am sorry to have deprived another reader of this opportunity. I know I acted selfishly. That’s just the way things go.
