About Mike Yon...

To MaryAnn he added: "It's important to note that I didn't write that article and had nothing to do with it. In fact, I did not know his article was inaccurate until you pointed it out. For some reason, it was coming across like I was part of the authorship of that article. I only reprinted it as is."

But MaryAnn, who had been cc'd on all that correspondence, had already sent me her own reply.
 

"Great mail, I hope he will look into his heart. He has lost his way.

There is another disturbing aspect to this we haven't even discussed.

Yon may think he can distance himself as a writer from the story by saying he only republished it. However, he has not denied the role he played as a person as described in the story.

In other words, he published the SA correction about our involvement, but never made one of his own about his involvement.

He continues to allow comments to appear unchallenged at his web site, saying things like "Michael, without you that Soldier would have died."

Now, if it was you, wouldn't you feel a little uncomfortable with that?

I'm convinced he's gone off the deep end, or maybe he always was and we never knew.

I've seen his public fights and bullying before, and I view them all in a new light now.

Unfortunately, I now view everything he writes in a new light, and it's not flattering.

For her the experience was a first. For me, it was just the (then) latest example of someone turning to me with behind-the-scenes trouble with Mike Yon.

It wouldn't be the last.
