As a former journalist, I can tell you that reporters get used to the "peanut gallery" voicing their opinions. This public forum is almost entirely faceless posters, with no accountability or credibility attached to their names, so this is hardly an indictment of the author's integrity or credibility. Until the accusers produce factual evidence of wrongdoing or a corroborating source willing to go on the record, what Mr. Parry's peers, publishers and editors say about his work is of far more importance than message board chatter.
