It has been pointed out here and here that, back in late 2007, when I put together a roundtable on POC in Fantasy, I linked coffeeandink’s real name to her blog on the second post in the series.
I do not actually remember the circumstances under which I did this. If my recollection is correct, back then I didn’t know that C&I wanted to keep her sf/fan activities seperate from her real name. This may account for the linkage. What I can’t account for is why there was linkage on part 2 but not part 1. This indicates that there may have been a mistake on my part. I am honestly not sure.
I, however, take full responsibility for doing so. I removed the link, as I was asked to (I wasn’t aware of those two posts until after I did it), and was happy to do so. My apologies to coffeeandink for that blunder.
I am highly amused to find certain parties waving a flag around about this. It would certainly be a really bad thing if I had purposefully linked the name to the LJ knowing coffeeandink didn’t want me to. It would also be a bad thing if, after being asked to remove the link, I stomped all over the internet like Godzilla raging about how horrible everyone is for even hinting that I should do so. Or demanding someone should throw me a parade because I complied. Really now.
Kathryn Cramer, of fail, fail, fail, and more fail, has saved a googlecache of the old webpage before you corrected it, and is linking to this post of yours and to the googlecache, apparently in order to show that … sheesh, I don’t know. That she is a person of the most complete fail?
oh jeez *rolls eyes*. Yeah, I think she’s just trying to prove how desperately she wants on the FailBoat.
What flag is there to wave? While the road to hell may indeed be paved for good intentions, we certainly give a lot more credit for said intentions. A mistake is a far cry from a deliberate act.
It’s the coverup, not the crime, that’s the worst part.
