Hazem Saghiyyah: in the service of oil princes

So yesterday, I casually mocked that Hazem Saghiyyah (a right-wing writer in the mouthpiece of Prince Khalid bin Sultan and in Hariri media) after receiving a journalism award from the ruler of Dubai--kid you not, I am not making this up--he wrote a column praising the Dubai model.  So he commented on my Facebook "like" page and called me a donkey.  It is not the first time that he has used bad language in talking about me.  Fortunately for my readers, my mother was very strict in our upbringing: that we don't engage anyone who uses bad language in debate.
