In this blog.

I did it with intent, but not with intent to hurt anyone, so I stripped out any identifying information. No one could possibly have known who I was talking about.

As a result, I was able to be over-the-top in my emotional reactions to what may not have actually been grievous affronts as well as my attacks against the (anonymous) person in question.

But that was fine. As I said, no one could possibly have known who I was talking about.

-- Except the person I was talking about --

(Geez. I never imagined these people actually read this thing.)

He was hurt and I am very sorry.

Of course, he expressed this hurt anonymously, so I don't even know if he was really the person I meant. But I do know (learned yesterday) that a good writer -- who once told a friend of mine he wouldn't come to a party if I was there -- reads this thing.

Holy crap, it seems the readership of this blog is some kind of Dickensian collection of ghosts from my past.

I guess I have made an impact in this world.

The only question is whether that impact has caused anything more than a bruise.
