This really disturbs me. This is exactly what is wrong with America (one thing anyway). A frivolous lawsuit against our right of free speech. Believe me I am not a bleeding heart liberal. I am essentially a conservative, but this really eats at me. By creating a lawsuit like this, it's all I need to know about whether or not I would look to do business like this. Does anyone have a list of plaintiffs. One or two plaintiffs would be a little sensible, but if there are masses, then that is about as rediculous as a blood parrot cichlid. Sorry for venting, I usually lurk and learn from the emense knowledge that is resident on this list. I enjoy the heated debates, but when this internet rage turns into lawsuits that could financial cripple a family, that's when it time to draw the line. If this does go to court and the free speaking internet folks get sued, I hope there is someone that can excercise some Italian justice to rectify the situation. I am only kidding, and no disrespect to anyone of Italian descent. I have been watching too many Sopranos episodes! I hope anyone involved will keep us posted as to the outcome of this situation.
