I said nothing like that. Nothing. Give it up.
It is completly reasonable for Barnes to have a secretary at work and have an unlisted phone number at home.
Maybe he went to Barnes' press agent. Then the PA, would atleast give Barnes a heads up as to who was about to call.

Oh, but I thought that Barnes had a secret phone number and lived in an underground cave and had armies of lawyers combing the media for references to him!

No, in fact that is quite the opposite of my point. You are taking what I said and tried to twist it into something completly different. I guess Moore does have an affect on the youth of today.

If he didn't find out about it for TEN YEARS, then it must not have made very many waves at the time, huh?

It was about a paragraph in "Stupid White Men". If Barnes has no intrest in the book, and he hangs with other people who feel the same, it isn't hard to see how it escaped his notice for the last 2 1/2 years.

And when it shows up in a best-selling book? You issue a single statement of denial, end of story.

which he has done

You don't go parading yourself around and write pieces of your own to attack back with, because all you're doing is lending credence to Moore's position.

Good thing that isn't what he did. Moore has spent a greater amount of time on this whole ugliness than Barnes.

Seriously, the people that Moore criticizes need to hire better PR agents.

Maybe Moore needs to find a smarter demographic. But then again, he'd go broke.
