Letter to a Damned Fool

Tim Rogers, executive editor of Dallas magazine, decided that my flame war with Barrett Brown (which has provoked the threat of legal action) was a fit subject for a blog post that linked Max Blumenthal — of all people — as the authoritative source on me.

Nothing Says ‘Merry Christmas’ . . .

. . . quite like the threat of a libel action: Libel Friday, December 3, 2010 5:02 PM From: “Barrett Brown” To: “Robert McCain” I’ve just spoken with my entertainment lawyer concerning your libelous article about myself and my relationship with Michael Hastings as well as well as my allegedly violent character.
