Raul Ibanez brings the dark underbelly of bloggers living in their mothers' basements to the national media. Time to go into exile, RR, which means leaving your mother's basement?
"I'll put that up against the jobs of anyone who writes this stuff," he said, according to the Inquirer. "Make them accountable. There should be more credibility than some 42-year-old blogger typing in his mother's basement. It demeans everything you've done with one stroke of the pen.
"Nobody is above the testing policy. We've seen that."

perfect.
