given some of the shit Carson has pulled himself, I must say it's hard to feel particularly sorry for him.

http://dictionary.reference.com/…so many people don't know what they're talking about, so ignorance is thrown around as fact anymore, but it's cool.

David Carson Fails to Show for New Zealand Design Lectures, Event Organizer Out $35,000
By Steve Delahoyde on May 2, 2011 7:01 AMThe notorious no-show David Carson has done it again. Despite being the winner of nearly 200 top design awards, designer of the infamous RayGun magazine, and a client list that would make any designer drool, it’s no secret that when you hire or ask the famous Carson to come speak, there’s a good chance he just might never show up.

I would believe Aaron Storch over David Carson.
Carson has long past run out of goodwiil. He's a notorious flake.

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.

I guess this is one of the dangers of naming your magazine after David Carson
- David Carson chose that name from a long list__TM

this magazine went what, an issue and a half? did the second ever get published? from what i saw it was pretty unimaginative anyway
