He got sued, successfully, about comments he made about Blue Sky execs.
Blue Sky is doing well now, isn't it, so I guess we should ignore everything he says, just because sometimes he goes a little too far in how he says what he says?
No, he is a gossip columnist. That doesn't mean you have to like him but ignore him at your peril.
