Tuesday I linked to a Dissident Frogman post concerning his trip to the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy in France. The story, about some seamingly missing flags at the museum exploded across the blogosphere. I think the Frogmensch became a bit overwhelmed, in fact, with just how far his story spread, and just how much emotion it summoned. Turns out, maybe some of the emotion was a bit mis-spent. It's probably important to read his subsequent clarification.

It's a good lesson in how a blogger can build trust and expectation with an audience, and how easy it would be to mis-spend that trust and good-will. To the Frogman's credit, he does the right thing in realizing the potential hurt he could have caused and has done what he could to fix it.
