A retraction
In the recent blog, “warning: vital questions sure to keep you up all night”, one “rroma” made the claim that she had read Corder and Bishop and that they were the fodder for her otherwise immaculate reflections.
This is simply not so.
RRoma should have said it was Corder and Brodkey to whom she owed the debt of inspiration. It is this reporter’s duty and pleasure to correct the error and apologize for any misunderstandings however trivial or grand that resulted there from.
Upon reading Bishop, RRoma realized her mistake and, overcome with embarrassment, has retired from public life until full penance can be served, leaving only this statement behind as a legacy of her self-condemnation: “Upon being told by certain anonymous persons to merely ‘edit’ the mistake away, I was aghast at the potential of the blogging medium to, not only allow me to erase my errors, but also to manipulate the past in a way that print is less ready to allow. To do this is to welcome the sordid reality of shifting truths that looms ahead in a rather frightening manner! I am resolved to stand by my error, even as I experience the shame it has caused!”
Our staff is confident that the yearning for expression that rroma feels will soon put an end to this self-imposed exile and will be happy to report as soon as new information becomes available.

So……what was the “debt of inspiration”?

I love it! I take it you’ve solved your dilemma with the genre of the blog?

I refuse to remain anonymous. I told RRoma to “merely ‘edit’ the mistake away.” Edit the pain away, Rebecca! Edit it all away!
