No use in engaging him about your whole "bashing" of Ryanair. I also like that you apologized for your error even though it was understandable. I wonder if he also wrote to the BBC!

They would have the ability to end my entire syndication, but nothing I wrote about would come close to that. In this case, many major news organizations were covering this exact story in the way that I did. It wasn't like I was just making up stories that had no foundation in truth. I have had airlines email me on more than one occasion to let me know of a mistake I have made and I have always been more than happy to fix them. None quite like this :). Although I still fixed my mistake on their behalf. David The PI is not able to edit my blogs in any fashion, once they do, it becomes their property.

You might be writing the posts, and that's totally OK, but if they're appearing on the P-I's website then the P-I has to accept some amount of responsibility. Obviously it makes little sense to only go after the P-I version of your blog and not the main site. But regardless of whether or not you're right or Ryanair's right, McNamara speaks the truth when he says that the P-I shares the blame.
