Malek was the most thin-skinned, insecure and biased of all the regular contributors to the erstwhile Quebec SSP Forum. I couldn't stand his hectoring and stereotyping of English-Montrealers. More than once, he accused me of using his photos without authorization; every time to which I showed that he was wrong (they were not his photos!!). Apology was never forthcoming (But rather more of the usual...."you Quebec Anglos blah blah..."). This from a guy that was born in Syria.
