So let’s boil down my official disclaimer to this:

My services are like any other professional service. It requires compensation, as summarized at my website, http://www.rose-rosetreecom.

“I know many of you are mentally unstable and are going through bad luck. That’s why you are seeking spiritual channels to alleviate your pain….”

The “disclaimer” part, of course, is pretty unwritable. Every question is different and so is the work flow here at my office. Basically, I respond to every question that time permits. And I choose which question ought to be responded to case by case.

Also, your profession attracts many mentally fragile or unstable people.

I think this would help: putting up a disclaimer that explains why you would only answer certain questions and what is the fine line between a blog-worthy discussion and an attempt at freeloading. And even perhaps an explanation on why your services are like any other service which require compensation.

This is a subject that matters to me a great deal, because the Internet, as wonderful a tool as it may be, has made so many people believe they can get away with libel and copyright violation. So Suzy, if you’re reading this, I would advise you to let it go.

I also have to doubt the “journalist” status of this individual. At least, no *trained* journalist I’ve ever met would make a petty threat like this.

When I didn’t make myself available to answer her question(s), “Suzy” threatened. Or perhaps did write an “article.”

Certainly something rather unpleasant is implied in “Hope you don’t mind I include in you a little journalistic story, as I am a journalist as well. BEWARE OF FAKE PSYCHICS.”

And you know that saying, “Hell hath no fury like a free-reading requester scorned.”

I think anyone who surfs the Internet is aware that people are free to write whatever they wish. I appreciate your comments, ANGELA and NAME WITHHELD.
