I am sorry this is still publicly ongoing.
Mike if you really believe what you are saying then there must be a better way to go about it?
And to put it bluntly I understand Walter has provided evidence of his credentials to Don Ecker who in my opinion is one of the very few trustworthy people in the field, so until I see otherwise the onus is not on him but you to back up what you say.
Judging by the way that he is able to wind people up (see flame war above and other threads) I reckon he is quite a skilled operator.
You do not separate wheat from chaff by setting fire to it, (especially if you are wearing a shell suit)*
I said in a post before (which I since removed) that I think it was unkind for him to talk about you dog, but it seems to have really pissed you off, so much so that, that to me it feels like you have lost sight of the bigger picture, and are focused on him rather than other things.
Like I said he is obviously quite adept at this, and that is where the dog thing came from. Just stop and think about it for a minute please: It was a cheap shot, but still an effective one. (if you let it be).

Just as an aside have you ever heard of the phrase "any publicity is good publicity"? because you have told everyone about the Disneyland book and even where to buy it
And no I am not going to directly address Walter, because he seems to have done the sensible thing and asked Don to try and calm the situation before it got even more out of hand................
If I had a time machine I would let you both go back and start again, but alas I don't, please both try to find an amicable way out of this.
Best wishes
