Tom, you are missing the point about the precipitating event.
The whole thing was precipitated by Albarelli. That is where the accusations of lying began.
Not with Janney. Janney, as you know signed off a long time ago. He posted that long and ugly diatribe against me and Lisa, calling us Nazis and agents of the Spanish Inquisition. Compared us to book burners.
I mean I think its still there. You didn't notice it? Or maybe you thought it was OK?
That was his parting shot. Scully was asking Hank if he stood by that stuff about Mitchell being a CIA assassin. Since Hank supplied info to Janney. The point Tom was making, which evidently many people, including yourself, missed is this: If Hank's info is accurate, it cannot refer to the guy Damore said he interviewed. Since that guy is not the guy Tom found, and Janney then claimed as his own.
Now, personally, I don't think Hank understands this point. That is why I gave him the benefit of the doubt. (A lot of people did not analyze exactly what Janney was saying in his book. Unless you took notes, it was not easy to follow.)
And that is what got misconstrued as calling Hank a liar. And that is when Hank got upset and logged on. And that is what caused it all. If Hank had not done that, and complained privately to Simkin, there would not have been a big event. Because Simkin now used Albarelli's complaint to bring it down, with Tom and me being the perps.
Ignoring the implicit message that it was OK for Janney to call me a Nazi, and Lifton to say I wrote fiction. But you cannot question Hank about his sources. Even if they do not jibe with what has been established.
