have you watched the Bill O'Rielly interview with Vivyan? He said he started getting the IM's back in the SUMMER of 1997. If AOL IM just came out in May of 97, Foley and Vivyan Must have been right on the cutting edge of IM's.
Unbelievable.
Apparently, Vivyan has been "shopping" the tale around Atlanta for a while now. A popular DJ in the Atlanta area has been mocking him on the air (Kim Peterson, aka "The Kimmer"), and has refused to interview him. Somebody needs to ask Vivyan why he's not self-identifying as gay in all these interviews, because he is. Far from being offended and outraged at the attention he received from Foley, he cultivated it, in the hopes of gaining some advantage in his career. Speaking of his career, how does he support himself at present?
