But like most braggarts come to realize, the truth will find him out in the end. <BR/><BR/>BabaTim has added some of his thoughts to this developing story.

Couldn't believe anybody who'd ever had a book published could be so defensive and full of idle threats. So I checked him out on Wikipedia, and now I understand. This is not what anybody would call a serious journalist -- just a self-adoring asshat dharma bum who's found a way to travel the world on somebody else's nickle making like Lawrence of Arabia [in his own mind]. Can I get sued for that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070229262860530921.post-49143190911115969632009-02-20T09:31:00.000+04:302009-02-20T09:31:00.000+04:30Dawud, the difference between RYP and Old Blue is ...Dawud, the difference between RYP and Old Blue is that Blue isn't threatening RYP's 1st Amendment rights with threats of litigation.
