What does this mean? Are you saying he is lying about his photo being removed from his Wikipedia entry by Philip Cross, for example?
How the *#%)&$ did we end up in a world in which "I disagree with your characterization of some subjective things" has become synonymous with "I flat out refuse to believe anything you claim about easily verifiable objective facts"?

Let's extend the Principle of Charity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity) and assume that he means, "Since you are incorrect on something I can verify, I am skeptical on the things you say that I cannot." I'm sure he's fine on the stuff he can verify.
