What is really in a disclaimer? As I read BLOGS and run across various disclaimers I would recommend using a filter before throwing caution to the wind. To me, it is false protection. I can say that everything I write does not necessarily reflect the thoughts or ideas of my employer, but that does not release me to write freely. Wikipedia says the term “disclaimer” generally involves some level of uncertainty, waiver, or risk. It also mentions that, “The presence of a disclaimer in a legally binding agreement does not necessarily guarantee that the terms of the disclaimer will be recognized and enforced in a legal dispute.” I can provide a solid disclaimer, but what I write may impact the way you view me, my family, and my place of employment.
I will paraphrase one of my favorite lines in Tommy Boy for the benefit of what a disclaimer means to me: Because a disclaimer is a piece of crap. That’s all it is. Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it disclaimer, I will. I got spare time.
What are your thoughts on disclaimers and while we are on it…what is your favorite line in Tommy Boy?
