'The details of your involvement will be gruesome' if you continue suing us

Because journalism, like other major professions has an aura of respectability, it needs to be protected from charlatans who wish to don it as a mantle whenever it suits them and to cast it aside just as easily to further their selfish purposes

Denton needed to decide a long time ago whether he was a journalist or not. Based on the output of his organization he clearly decided to not be a journalist.

Now, having sown the wind, he is reaping the whirlwind. And in a desperate attempt, he wants us to ignore everything that he has done and stood for up until now and to pretend along with him that he is an actual journalist standing up for journalistic values and integrity.

The best analogy is that of a homeopathic quack who dons a white coat and pretends to be a medical professional to gain patients & attention but also wants to have the privilege of disparaging 'allopathy' to set himself apart and above actual medical doctors.

Would anybody agree that although there isn't a direct threat, it is heavily implied?
