He is, according to himself, an "apostate Satanist," which, for anyone not familiar with the word "apostate," is someone who has renounced their religion, although perhaps a peculiar reading of the OED can still render him an "outright Satanist." Wacko-meter here is way in the red. Todd, did not want to get involved in this conversation but I have to correct your statement about Alan Cabal.

Stop trying to verify the story. Per WP:BLP, "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons — whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable — should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space." As interesting as this story is it cannot be put in Monahan's Wikipedia article. Please spend more time helping us research Alan Cabal's career so that we can bring his article back to mainspace. A couple of editors are working very hard to do just that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smith_Jones/Alan_Cabal_(journalist) That would be a more constructive use of your time.

A Satanist? This is just getting weirder. I don't mean to pry but now you're saying this minor Genius, this Alan Cabal, who has been struck from the Wiki-roster because he didn't have the credentials required in order to be notable is a Satanist? I don't even know what that means. So you worked with a crew of people at this NYPress, where one writer felt it perfectly normal to offer to write about his bowel movements and another was an outright Satanist? Yet, you were going about your business writing "insightful political columns" as if it were The New York Times? Can you see now how I might be baffled? It can't be true. It baffles. It confounds. It perplexes. I believe you owe us, the reading public, the audience you have captivated with your fanciful stories, an explanation about this "entity" called the NYPress and the animals inhabiting it. Hmm… what?

I couldn't begin to tell you what the Wiki-participants think of Cabal. Perhaps they don't like Satanists. I'm moving on to other topics.

Monahan would never write such a story. I have a better question for you: Why would the wiki-fucks delete their article about Alan Cabal? What ever happened to that minor Genius?

Whether he ever went ahead and wrote the whole thing out and published it elsewhere I just don't know.

Yeah, we're gonna have to retract this guys. Todd doesn't seem to be on sure-footing here. Todd, was it a serious proposal or an outright joke? I don't know what kind of paper NYPress is. Why would anyone write something called "My Shits" about his own shits? Could that win a Pulitzer? Yikes! Yeah, we’re gonna have to retract this guys. Todd doesn’t seem to be on sure-footing here.

But if you have some sort of superior shit-insight you'd care to share with us, Mr. C, I'm always happy to be corrected.
