So I turned on my computer tonight to read the blogs. I’m afraid that I must have scared my poor fiancee half to death when the steam pouring out of my ears made a loud “toot” noise, as seen in Popeye cartoons.
Atrios posts under a pseudonym, although his real name is Ferdinand Strumpole. I have no business telling him how to run his life. Nonetheless, if I were king, I’d ask Atrios to write the following reply:
Dear Mr. Luskin,I double-dog dare you to sue me. No, triple.
Sincerely,
Atrios
P.S. Can I still call you a striking failure as a mutual fund manager?
Atrios has all the links, but I’d like to send a shout out to:
Thank you for posting the link to Overlawyered.com. There was a great follow-up link to what appears to be a similar lawsuit in PA in which a website was sued for alleged defamation in its comments section.

It should be interesting to see what happens with the litigation if it goes forward. Anyone know if Atrios favors a “loser pays” tort system or if he was perfectly happy with seeing other people and corporations spending their time and money defending themselves from “frivolous” litigation (assuming that Luskin’s alleged claim of defamation has no merit)?
