The following humerous paper was deleted under threats by the author.
Actually, all he needed to do was to send a note asking me to remove it and I would have done so gladly, BUT, the author, like many pagans, felt that he needed to back up his request with threats.
Gosh! Why do so many pagans pretend that they live by the Rede yet so many are willing to use threats and violence as a first response when calm discussion would be more applicable.

Just received another threat fron this person (name deleted) complaining that I did not delete the paper but moved it.
But when I looked at the paper in question, it was credited to an entirely different author, one who did give me permission.
The question now is, is someone causing trouble or is someone claiming credit for something written by another or is the paper in question mis-credited?
If the paper in question has been mis-credited, I apologise and once the truth is known, I will gladly follow the wishes of the author. But in the meantime, the paper in question has been claimed by the credited author so it remains until this can be sorted out.

I now know the story. A certian person whose name I won't mention because my ethics are higher thn theirs, has a web-site. They were given a submission of humor by another person and the web-site owner then wrongly assumed that they, not the author, held copyright to that paper.
OK, now I published the paper (and received permission from the author) and then began to receive threats from the web-site owner who, again, wrongly claimed copyright over material that wasn't theirs to own.
This fool even posted a message on my guestbook under another name that was insulting and intended to cause trouble.
Might I suggest prozac for you? or a good course in communication skills? or how about a rereading of your pagan ethics?
