d2r has an interesting post up. Apparently, a post made last year by this blogger has attracted legal attention - the post in question disparaged the educational credentials of this well known personality. This is fascinating. What we have here is a transient post from months ago (which a google search doesn't immediately turn up) - but the serving of papers is likely to generate a small avalanche of "isn't this absurd" posts from all over. You would think that famous people would be somewhat clued in to the dangers of publicizing things that could backfire, but I guess not. Negative marketing lives on....
