Didn't Rob just publicly refute somebody with hundreds of published articles? I'm no Dancer fan, but if someone said key elements of a number of public articles I had written were lies, and since Rob is reporting Dancer's "lies" with an undeniable history of malice (so there's no doubt he's aware that he's damaging Dancer and that he intends to do so), that is a problem.
That would explain Alan's wish to move on and not get embroiled in some legal wrangling.
I'd be curious to see Dancer's reaction to this kind of thing. In a way, if he were to do nothing, it would put Rob in a favorable light on this. On the other hand, if he sued Rob, that would suggest Rob may be incorrect.
Alan, you undoubtedly know the legal end of this. If Rob were to make these assertions regarding you (that a number of your published articles contained self-serving lies), what would your legal options be, if any?
