Brief Bio

My name is Jesse Riddlebarger and in December 2006 I graduated from Bradley University with a degree in public relations.  I worked in the college library for four years, and during that time I became an ardent bibliophile and staunch proponent of the literary canon.  One of my goals is to become a published author and I have often thought about starting a daily journal to hone my writing skills. 

Unfortunately my life is so pathetic that if I were to describe it on a daily basis, my writing would probably get worse.  But I’ve decided to grab the tiger by the horns and write about what other people with more interesting lives have written.  Think of this blog as a review of what I read.  Hence the title, The Riddle Report.

Comment Policy

Did you know that the lowest circles of hell are reserved for spammers and trolls? Well it’s true, and if you want to avoid such a terrible fate, don’t post anything stupid! As the Supreme Creator of this blog, I alone have the power to save and condemn comments. Here are some of the cardinal sins committed by posts destined for deletion.

• Selling drugs purported to treat erectile dysfunction
• Threatening to dismember people
• Misspelling so many words that the message becomes unintelligible

Now as enjoyable as these activities may be, I ask that you refrain from doing them while you’re here. There are plenty of other forums where you can act like an idiot.

Privacy Policy

Most sites have elaborate privacy policies written in incomprehensible legalese, and if you actually take the time to read them, you discover that they don’t protect your privacy at all. My policy is much more straightforward and secure:

I promise I will never sell your personal information to some evil third party organization.

So rest assured, your fetish for tentacle porn is a secret known only to you, me, and the local sushi bar.
