So our doost e gerAmee, bAbak khAn took on the challenge like a real
cowboy and provided us with solid evidence for the claims he had made.

Here's what he wrote:

>>    (1) Your claim that Iran has been divided by force.

"Iran has been divided by force". Hmmmm....

    [BTW, I didn't know "Khorastan" was/is a province of Iran. What
     does it mean anyway?]    :-)

>>    (2) Your claim that you for at least three years have known me.
>I started to reading SCI from about 1990s and I see your articles from then.
>So that is 2+ years, very close to 3 years.

"At least three years". Hmmmm...

>>    (3) Your claim that I will do anything to harm Iran.
>In all the issues, from the false accusation that Iran was printing US

>enemy.

"Do anything to harm Iran". Hmmmm...

>>    (4) Your claim that my past articles clearly show my intentions.
>It obvious to everyone, maybe except to your lovers/friends in

"It's obvious to everyone". Hmmmm...

OK, you have provided your evidence for everyone, and they seem to be
very conclusive. We'll let the net decide on that.

P.S.
Here's a friendly remark for you: If you happen to have to appear at a
court of law anywhere for any reason, do not, and I insist DO NOT use
the above scheme to defend yourself. Afterall, the judge may not
necessarily exercise his/her right to act dumb as I did above. :-)
