The question put to you was simple, normal. Folks here don't hang on your every word (or anyone's word) as though you (they) were some authority. If ANYONE makes a claim that another disputes, it's normal (and responsible) to ask the claimant to provide evidence of the claim. It is entirely unfair to require the person questioning or disputing the claim to prove it for themselves. Others have investigated to the ability that they could and found your claim to be empty so far as they can see. You claim you are or have been a PJ. I'll not dispute this. (Basically because I don't care.) So, I assume that you know that all journalists accept that it is there responsibility to back up claims of fact that they make.
