I’m Sorry.

I’m Sorry. I didn’t mean what I wrote, and anyways, I wasn’t referring to you when I wrote it.

I don’t know who you are or what it is you think I meant, but I can’t be too careful in light of the Louisiana court decision to award $11.3 million in damages against a woman for using an “internet forum to accuse another woman of being a con artist and a fraud.” The Sydney Morning Herald article covering this states that “A blog entry about a person will be considered defamatory if reasonable people would think less of the person because of the entry.” If this is the case, I think George Dubya has a real chance at being the richest person in America if he gets on this gravy train quick enough. (Of course, that’s assuming that what people are saying isn’t true)
