6. That "story" is garbage & lies

The anonymous "ThatGuy888" posted that smear job that, when published, nobody paid it much notice because it was clearly bullshit then as now. I am Al Giordano. I told the inept and knowingly dishonests "reporter" Eion Higgins that I had no "enemies list," that he was twisting my words out of context, back in December of last year when he contacted me for the story. He did so as part of the very same cohort that had engaged in systematic harassment of me and others, something his "article" simply continued.

In the piece - and later via his Twitter account - he took harassment by others against me (the setting up of fake porn accounts and such) and taunted me with them (this, as I was about to begin three months of radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer, something I informed him at the time, and that he hid from readers of his article) including with infantile name calling. All of that can be seen on his Twitter account in the days after the December 6 publication of the story. He also falsely claimed I had told him the story was fine. When I called him out on that he then claimed that my silence was his proof that I "said" it was fine. That's what a lowlife we have in this guy. So, hey, there are sleaze peddlers in the media! Nothing new, there. I wonder if "ThatGuy888" is in fact Mr. Higgins because nobody else cared to link to his piece anywhere when it came out. That's how embarrassingly non-journalistic it obviously was.

Here we are, six months later, I haven't engaged in any of the behaviors that he falsely accused I would engage in, and that is the proof that this smear piece was false. I think if "ThatGuy888" has an honest bone in his body he'll delete his fake news comment above, and if so, I'll be happy to do the same. Thank you very much. - Al
