« Definitive Fred | Main April 14, 2007Suing A Blogger: Fifth UpdateWKRN's Brittney Gilbert reports on the saga of JL Kirk Associates, a critical blogger, and a lawsuit threat that backfired big time. Also, "S-Town Mike" at Enclave has more on JL Kirk Associates' newfound online fame. And it's not good fame: the story, and the controversy over JL Kirk Associates threatening to sue Coble for writing critically of the company on her blog has surfaced other bloggers with similar first-hand criticism of the company. Why It's Dumb to Sue or Threaten To Sue Bloggers:
Had JL Kirk Associates ignored Coble's blog post (or, better yet, responded positively to her criticisms), Coble's initial critical post would have been read by, statistically speaking, virtually nobody. By threatening to sue her, JL Kirk Associates assured that the post would be read by thousands, and pushed the story to the "top of the charts" on Google, where it will live on for years.
