    There's something not right about this. Why would David Carson be afraid of a supposedly random nut job (who had taken his name and mis-represented him on a product) threatening to sue him unless he knew the nut job in question actually had some grounds for suing him. Why would he, as his letter seems to suggest, be swayed into working on issue 1 by that supposed fear of being sued?

    I don't think either person is being too rigorous with the truth on this one. That letter up there, if from David Carson, admits involvement. Seems to me that David Carson may have done his usual trick of agreeing to do something, then deciding it will be okay to renege on that agreement without considering the investment in time, resources and funds that others may have put into it. He probably got cold feet and decided to have no more to do with it, leaving the other person balls-deep into a magazine launch with no creative director and figurehead.

    I could be wrong, but that's what I'm getting from all of this so far.
