So yesterday, I put up a post about a Fan History wiki project per an e-mail request that I got. And someone left a comment with a link because there’s some controversy about the project (which I didn’t know about). So, I’ve decided to just take down the whole post because I don’t want to get in the middle of anything.

And it’s made me think about how trusting I am. You see, I often get e-mail requests for things — bookmarks, guest blogs, blog posts, charity donations, etc. I try to be as accommodating as I can, but I just don’t have time to research/vet everything that comes my way (like the wiki post).

Here’s another example. Recently, I received an e-mail from a man who asked for a free book for his autistic son because his son loved to read but he just couldn’t afford to buy books. Was this guy scamming me? Was his son really autistic? I don’t know, but I sent him a book anyway. Because a) I could afford to and b) it seemed like a nice thing to do. 

Does all this make me gullible? I don’t know. I suppose I like to believe in the good in people — just like Wonder Woman does. Although I think I’m going to be more wary in the future. Sigh …
