Temporary Malfunction
I wrote a short essay about a hero of mine, and posted here. And I sent him the link. But then my hero declaimed that I had exaggerated and was inaccurate in a few places or possibly more, causing him some embarrassment. Furthermore, he is soon off on an important vacation, and does not have time to correct my flailing essay, until he returns.
So I have removed it, temporarily, until such time as the target of my praise can cool my ardor with some plain facts. If he can.
So that’s the short story. Don’t worry, though. I am only temporarily deterred.

Yeah, well, that egg is laid.
His main concern is that the essay might cause undue attention from dimwitted journalists who might disturb his private life. Frankly, I don’t see that happening, given the obscurity of this website.
Furthermore, my rhetorical excesses were not really that far off the mark. Perhaps they were even understatements.
Corrections shall be applied soon, in any case, and the thing shall re-emerge for better or worse. Undue celebrity, should it occur, is nothing new to either of us, and passes quickly.
RSS feeds still get that article. I can’t wait to read an updated version though.
