I guess Zorph was right - UPDATED

Kate and her ever reliable cadre of tipsters are so in touch with what’s important on the web that they didn’t even notice when the better part of the Internet was sued by Wayne Crookes [Caution: strong and Wingnuttery language]. Small Dead Animals has constructed its own little world, and even on the World Wide Web, they can’t see the forest, nor the trees. All they see are terrorists, and Muslims, and tax breaks, and petro dollars.

Kate’s position:

No - you know what’s amazing? That leftie bloggers would just assume that we read them, and that we follow every twitch in that corner of the sphere. For the record, the first time I heard of the [Mark Francis] case was about 2 days ago.

But, what’s amazing is that his fellow travellers on the left lifted not a hand to help him, expended no effort to get the word out. Even in this post, you neglected to provide his name or a source link.

To that I say (and even take the bother to break my ‘radio silence’ and respond on her site [since she apparently won't see the truth it if it isn't handed on a platter to her]):

Ridiculous Kate. As Robert said, you don’t leave your echo chamber? It was on the friggen National even. When THE INTERNET (Yahoo, Google, P2PNet, etc.) get SUED, you don’t notice? And one doesn’t exactly think first thing when they could get sued for just linking to something, that they ought to write left, right, and center about Mr. Crookes’ lawsuits. (Thus the term libel chill. You’d think she’d be familiar with it, since her being sued is a good part of why the SaskBlogs Aggregator is no longer with us.)

Still, congratulations for noticing. Finally.

UPDATE:
“Lastly, I even managed to find reference to this whole issue on your blog, you do read your blog I hope.

UPDATE 2 - UPDATED: In an odd, but unrelated event, it seems Saskblogs.ca is down due to some server error. It was working fine yesterday. I’ll try to get it back online as soon as possible. The SaskBlogs Aggregator blogroll that Lance created is still online, and you can find it on the sidebar of my blog, and the blogs of many other members.
- It was the theme that broke somehow, so the site is limping along better now, but expect an overhaul in the next month.

UPDATE 3: Let’s all get sued!

Libel Chill for beginners.

As Dion and crew learned, even having a seat in the House isn’t good enough to be protected from bogus lawsuits.
