I left another comment: “You really are petty if you delete compliments from people you disagree with politically.”

He then sent me three consecutive emails:

1) It’s not THAT we disagree, it’s that you are not even mildly an interesting asshole.

Call it what you want. You are banned from commenting on my site.

2) And I’ve published many comments from people who disagree with me politically. Saying otherwise is demonstrably false.

3) And you have now been reported as a spammer to the investigators putting spammers everywhere in jail…

That last one is funny as hell.

The man has a huge problem and probably needs some kind of psychiatric help. But, he is a fascinating figure to watch, much like an animal in a cage.

“1995-1996
Regional correspondent for the Washington Bureau of United Press International (UPI), Science and Technology desk. Also published an investigative story on the homeless problem in the Union-Recorder, the smallest circulation Knight-Ridder newspaper in Milledgville, Ga., and a Sunday book review in the Macon Telegraph on David Burnham’s latest book”

They have no record of him at all.

As well as this from his resume was found to be completely fabricated with no record of him at any of these publications:

“2000-2004
New Orleans correspondent, The Dallas Morning News; Southern regional correspondent, The Christian Science Monitor; contributing free-lance reporter for The New York Times, national desk; contributing writer for Gambit, the alternative weekly in New Orleans; stringer for UPI and The Doctor’s Guide to the Internet.”

And I’ve just started my dig into this guys career..

Now, do you think that if this guy has this kind of resume, he would be what seems to be a complete website hack. I have sources all over the state from the BBJ, B’ham News, Biz Al., as well as close friends at Ebsco and they tell me this guy is a complete fraud. If he had half of the resume he claims they would all be all over him. But, they know him and all said the same thing..he’s a fabrication of his own mind. It’s one thing to beef up your resume, but what he did was completely lie and hope nobody has the connections to catch him at it.. Well, no such luck, Glynn my boy.

For such a big time credentialed journalist you sure are loose with the facts.

For starters, I am not “Reactionary.” He is a whole different person who also writes posts here from time to time. That is plainly obvious from reading the “Authors” section of the site.

Also, like I said before, I don’t even know this GOP Girl you obsess over. I searched and she did leave a comment here once. So have hundreds of other people - do I know all of them? I’m sure in your conspiracy theory mind everyone who doesn’t agree with you is aligned against you in a massive, coordinated scheme, but the real world is a bit less exciting.

Thanks for showing another sterling example of Godwin’s Law being fulfilled.

I couldn’t find a copy of your Aub Ghraib article (I don’t subscribe to any fancy, premium archive services, though). Would you mind sharing it with us?

“…favorite anonymous blog…” - Which blog are you referring to?

“…where you like to lie and cheat…” - Please, do provide specifics.

Also, I found this quote that was attributed to you:

“Watched the C-SPAN version this weekend. Interesting. Raise hell. But I’m afraid the mainstream just can’t handle a conspiracy theory of this magnitude. They are right that the New York Times is in on it, though, but not exactly like they think. The Times is now irrelevant, even though the TV talking heads still quote it from time to time. Anything to gain more traction in public opinion against Bush and co. is good, though. They have to be taken down. But there are plenty of high crimes and misdemeanors to go around, without having to prove that rogue intel wings were in on training the 9/11 hijackers. I’ve already reported part of this story, the part about the CIA and FBI being connected to the hijackers through the drug trade in Central America and Florida. But it’s just not a story frame that can be sustained. If true, America is over an done for. It may be anyway, but those with real money and power will find a way to prop it up…”
-Professor Glynn Wilson, University of Tennessee

Is that true? Do you really think 9/11 was some kind of an inside job? Did they misrepresent your credentials or did you mislead them, since you were never more than a GTA at UT according to your resume?

Let’s talk about shades of truth. You state on your own site and elsewhere that you were the “New Orleans bureau chief for the Dallas Morning News.” We both know that to be false. When confronted directly about this claim you backtracked and said that you were merely the free lance reporter for the DMN out of New Orleans. You even admitted that they didn’t even have a bureau in NO, but claimed that you ran your free-lance operation like a bureau. So let’s see the shades of truth. You claimed to be the bureau chief. False. Implicit in that claim is that you worked in the NO bureau. False, there wasn’t even a bureau! You were just a free-lance reporter there, but it sure sounds more impressive to call it a bureau. And since it was a pretend bureau typically composed of one person then that made you the de facto pretend bureau chief.

You said in a comment here that you were a “former New York Times reporter.” Were you ever actually a NY Times employee, as a reasonable person would infer from your claim, or did you just contribute as a free lancer like so many other aspiring journalists?

You have worked a lot of jobs. Have trouble holding on to any for an extended period of time? Could it have anything to do with your warm demeanor and objective reporting. I’m guessing they were looking for real jerks to push a right wing agenda and you are too principled for doing that.

And going way back to the whole most credentialed journalist claim you once made. I don’t doubt that you’ve taken quite a few journalism classes. Congratulations. But in the real world your achievements are not measured solely by your academic record. Warren Buffett doesn’t have the academic bona fides that many other financiers can claim, but you stack him up against almost anyone and I would bet that he is regarded as the most credentialed. I don’t pretend to know the academic record, award history, etc. for journalists at Alabama based publications or national journalists who happen to call Alabama home. I do know that when you made the claim there was a beaming example of one person who easily has more credentials than you: Pulitzer Prize winner Brett Blackledge. As you know Blackledge has since moved on from the B’ham News to the AP in Washington - and not as some back bench free-lancer. While here Blackledge reported on actual corruption, not just wild conspiracy theories.

At least we have one thing in common, Glynn. We both prefer Yuengling.
