OTBL BLOGGERS DEFAMED!! WHAT NEXT? THE RAPTURE?

Things are really heating up in New Richmond. OTBL reports that local attorney Tim O'Brien sent out a letter of support for the enemies of the Borderline bloggers. How dare he?

Well I say good for you Mr. O'Brien. You're doing what needs to be done to stand up for what is right for your community. And hey, you did it under your own name - not anonymously. What a concept.

Borderline blogger "Maverick" is incensed and ready to file a defamation suit against Mr. O'Brien. Good luck with that Maverick. Your summons & complaint will need to include your real name. Oops. End of that idea.

Let's look at what Maverick has to say: "Did you know that Wisconsin Defamation Statutes apply to any identified person, by name or otherwise? In other words, the bloggers referred to in the letter will want to know what was said about us, whether or not it was true and what effect it yields. O’Brien talked about “bloggers”, therefore identifying me and others. "

News Flash: New legal theory in the making. Apparently, referring to the spreading of manure by "bloggers" (who happen to practice anonymous defamation on a daily basis) is a viable cause of action in civil court.

Maverick, I say go for it. Since O'Brien is a lawyer, I'm sure he will have no idea how to defeat you. You poor pathetic sap.
