Apparently a list of Swift Boat Veterans was left in a comment in August 2004 by a commenter who no longer visits these pages anymore. It languished there for almost two years unread, and unnoticed by anyone until some enterprising soul found it and said list made its way to the Huffington Post (comments, apparently).
A right-wing blogger has made it his quest to have me remove the list (which in all honesty I had not even remembered being there) or he is threatening to out me and my family. Well, I am not a big fan of outing anyone for any reason. The Swift Boat folks have their right to speak, as do I and Mr. Stogie Chomper, and they don't deserve to be threatened for their political views, just as I don't nor does anyone else. Period.
Bottom line: I deleted those comments as soon as I found them off a link from The American Spectator. Had Mr. Stogie Chomper given me the link, they would have been gone sooner. Had anyone pointed it out, I probably would have deleted them long ago...anyone who is a long time reader will remember that once-upon-a-time, there was not comment moderation here and I'm guessing that list might have been posted back then, which is why I did not remember it.
I certainly would have like to have known before now that I was causing all these problems. I am only too happy to have deleted the information. I don't know where the commenter got it, but it seemed to have been off a list of some sort, it was pretty well organized.
List gone, problem solved, I hope. Never meant to be the cause of such bother and worry.
