Libel Chill

Some friends of mine are being playground bullied in a libel suit. This is an important issue to anyone that cares about freedom of expression and the ability to have your say on the internet. If you blog or use online forums this means you. Check out this story from the National. If you can throw a few dimes towards their legal defense fund, even better.

Incidentally, hopefully at some point the person launching the lawsuits will figure out that launching the lawsuits has been worse for his reputation than the initial unflattering comments, and he'll go... sue... himself.
