I made a hasty remark aimed at a lead sentence I judged troublesome.
I would not characterize Howard as an unskilled writer. I've witnessed his work when it exhibits command of language.
Howard has demonstrated often that his writing ability is excellent. In fact he has done some superlative investigative pieces and propelled a self-conceived project (The Batavian) into a respectable web presence.
The Batavian has an excellent editor, namely Billie, who nails her grammar and sentence structure consistently.
