I have not yet verified this information on the purported thieves at the Ulaan Baator train station. This day find us all a little embarassed for believing right off the baby-raping stories etc from New Orleans. Now we don't know what to think. Are you carelessly slandering the good people of Ulaan Baator, when they will likely not even realize it is necessary for them to rebut this spurious characterization? Or have you in fact witnessed first hand such speedy thievery, and interviewed other people who have been thieved from at this station, and checked into pertinent crime stats?
Your tales are fascinating, there is no yarn better than the yarn of a traveller to far off places. However, they remain uncategorized: fictionalized truth? Pure fantasy? Journalistically integrous and as precisely accurate as possible?
It may or may not be your concern to help us to correctly place your tales in one of the above or perhaps an other yet unnamed category. Please don't take it as insult that I categorize it as a Possible Member of any of the above categories. It is filed rather like a ghost in all the above categories at once, and I have made note of it's cross-reference in the other categories, and I hope, should I ever land in the Ulaan Baator train station, that I give due respect to each possibility, being neither foolish enough to fail to secure my sunglasses, nor rude enough to give any indication that my views on the people there may have been colored prejudicially by any incorrect and unverified information I may have read on the internet.
Maybe, just maybe, if you got yourself an editor, a verifier if you will, if you joined the AP as a trained, registered and sworn Accurate Storyteller, if you had a tiny biographical by-line so that we could research other pieces of your travel journalism or investigate your training and education ourselves, it would help us to file correctly. I think you will share my implied concerns here.
Please, again, I mean no insult. You must understand that one must take unverified accusations as such. It is a serious matter. However, this matter in no way supersedes the delight of the adventure reader.
