I do think protecting a reputation is worthwhile and I don't see suing to do that as an infringement on free speech. Defam law is all about 2 things: the reputation you actually have (and the woman in question, her reputation is that she's nuts, so calling her a nut won't injure her) and the form of words and circumstances need not to be malicious. Pretty simple. This blog gets it right. It's not malicious and it's going after people, when it does do that, for their actual actions. I reckon the thing to worry more about in the UK is that silly Human Rights law you've gone and signed up to. Mosely anyone? Privacy? Ack.

Have to say she's a sight less of an eyeful than the ladies in the movie. Brigitte Mohnhaupt's actress can research her next role round here any time she likes.

Anyone with enough money can tie up any private investigation into their behaviour with endless write. One thinks of Robert Maxwell and the Saudi prince who suppressed <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Funding-Evil-Updated-Terrorism-Financed/product-reviews/1566252318" rel="nofollow">Funding Evil</a>, humiliating our oldest publisher in the process.

But,one should really savour the irony of her post here: http://johannakaschke.blogspot.com/2009/03/innocent-until-proven-guilty.html Where she complains about how UK libel law presumes the guilt of the accused and how unfair it is because the libelled cannot "proof otherwise" [sic]. This religious lady (is that a libellous term?) witters on about God in her tedious blog posts, and mentions Christ in her video above. Perhaps she should act in a more spiritual and Christian manner and not use laws that she herself considers unjust against people she appears to politically disagree with. It doesn't seem very Christian at all. Has she perhaps become possessed by an unclean spirit? I am only asking a question, of course, and would never dare to suggest that this delightful fraulein would allow herself to be penetrated by one of Satan's minions.

You are of course, completely right. It is outrageous for Dave Osler to have allowed one of his readers to post the observation that this woman is “‘one cherry short of a Schwarzwalderkirschtorte’”
