Darleen-

I'd be happy to chat with you via phone if you'd like, but I prefer to have a paper trail when dealing with anything related to my work.

You've had my e-mail address for months and have been free to contact me at any time, as it's included in my post registration and I even provided it to you and everyone else a few days ago in the course of offering to put you in touch with an editor at MAD that might be interested in your Photoshop pieces. Let me know if you would still like that info.

As far as I can tell, the last question you asked me was something like, "Why are you being so dishonest?" That's not the sort of question I can answer without resorting to sarcasm. If you have any other, better questions that aren't loaded, I will certainly do my best to answer them.

I will note that both Jeff and Dan have already conceded that my behavior has always been civil and that I have always engaged everyone in an honest manner, as will be noted in the article. Since the current strategy at PW hinges on trying to paint me as uncivil and dishonest, I would suggest that you fellows develop a new strategy.

Regards,

Barrett Brown

Mr. Brown,

 

In regards to the hit piece you’re putting out on PW, you’re talking to Jeff and Dan Collins but haven’t made the first effort to talk to me?

 

I’m available; I’ll even give you my phone number.

 

What say you?
