missed obligations

Some time ago I spoke with two gentlemen, one of whom I promised to send some 7.5 swiss brass and the other of whom I promised a Ruger stock. Circumstances beyond my control forced me to forestall shipment on both items, but I’m now a bit more prepared.

Unfortunately I’ve lost your damned adresses. So if you could email me at mhardig at aol dot com I’d greatly appreciate it, and i could get this stuff out to you, and sorry for the delay.

Tried to make me go to rehab.

Pity she didn’t. Shame to see someone with so much talent go freaking apeshit.

On anonymity

Some asshat calling him/herself “A Liberal Genius” posted the following in comments below, regarding the Hennesey foofaraw:

Doesn’t make any difference what happens, Hennesy has committed slander and should be sued. Problem is he’s not worth being sued so nobody will bother. He’s just another neocon coward hiding behind a keyboard

There’s some irony in the fact that Genius decided to use a nom de plume, but still. The bottomline- or the troubling part of the statement- to me, anyway, is that Hennesy commited slander. I thought it had to be untrue to be considered slander?

As far as anonymity, I write under a pen name, because enough people have enough of my time already. I’m not anonymous because I’m afraid of my views, I’m anonymous because I’m intensely private, and I respect the privacy of others, even assholes.

I’m actually concerned about the slander comment more. How does that work? IANAL, but shit. That’s some kind of accusation.
