As Twitchy has been reporting all evening, this Salon.com piece by David Masciorata titled, “You don’t protect my freedom: Our childish insistence on calling soldiers heroes deadens real democracy” is angering many on Twitter, including Montel Williams:

Well, Montel is really unhappy now that Masciorata seems to have deleted his Twitter account:

Editor’s note: See update below for clarification as to Walsh’s title at Salon.

And Montel is not asking for much, really:

Yes. It’s time to either a) defend this piece or b) apologize and move on.
Update:
Walsh corrected Williams’ assertion that she is the editor of Salon:
Weird that @Montel_Williams and his friends still haven't figured out I'm not the editor of Salon.

The staff directory at Salon lists Walsh as “Editor at Large.” The “Editor in Chief” is David Daley.
