First: would sombody please tell me if this Rivera guy is the same writer wannabe, who publishes via a vanity press, that I never heard of until I read his tinfoil-hat-type-conspiracy-theorist drivel about Afghanistan, posted right here on FR?
If this is the same guy, he had his facts wrong. Many of us pointed those incorrect statements out. We provided proof that he was wrong. That's what an open debate is all about. Rebuttal and counter rebuttal. He was not pleased that we did not blindly swallow his propaganda and thank him for removing the scales from or eyes.
If this is the same person, Mike Rivera is a non-entity as far as I'm concerned. What an overinflated EGO. Anyone got a pin?
He's actually a well-known and highly animator (Pixar type), and you'll see his name on the credits of a lot of big name films. He's also won awards for his TV commercial work.
That said, he's kinda been whipsawing all over the brainscape lately, seeing helicopters under every rock, and seems unable to admit he's wrong even when confronted with incontrovertible evidence.
