Hoorah for alliteration!

Last year, some of you may recall that I posted a few conversations I had with a certain someone who contacted me via my MSN profile. He was an older gentleman, and married, with kids. He proposition me for a rendez-vous, but I declined, citing moral objectives. I posted our conversations, because, well, they were funny. I posted his user name, as well as his hotmail address.

Oops.

Well, Mr. SoandSo send me an email the other day (through the profiles again, curiously enough) saying that "it has come to my attention that our conversation as per blahblah has been posted on a website. Please delete it. Thank you."

It sort of spooked me out at first. I went to delete the blogs but then reconsidered it. Really, this is the Internet. There is some anonymity implicit in Messenger conversations, if you want it to be. Furthermore, he was the one propositioning me, so he's taking a risk. I'm sure it wasn't the first time he propositioned anyone, so he's really taking many risks and being very trusting. For all he knew, I could have figured out who he was when he sent his picture and blown his cover.

Anyway. I didn't delete the posts. It's my blog and I have a right to post what I want. I did, however, remove any mention of his email or username. It was much more work than simply hitting "delete", but at least now my principles are still intact.
