I am really loving the theme/design of your web site.
Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A small
number of my blog readers have complained about my site not
working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.
Do you have any tips to help fix this issue?

The story here are the tactics Julia Allison and Peter Baugher, apparently a respected lawyer, used to try to shut down the blog. It was/is a total abuse of power on Baugher’s part, and represented genuine, IRL harassment of several innocent people. THAT is the story that Internet BizLaw should be doing. That and the fact that he and the Tribune failed to disclose his conflict of interest in writing this piece.

Julia Allison, who regularly tips the mods of her own “hate” site? Who sent press releases out both when she started dating Jack McCain and just months later when he broke up with her? Julia Allison who regularly uses uncredited images on her own blog and runs pics of herself stamped with “Getty Images” rather than purchase them?

Julia Allison and Peter Baugher went out of their way to not only shut down a snark site about Julia’s antics (see her Public FB where she’s laying naked with a guy and had bootie shorts on with half her ass hanging out at Burning Man) but when a Facebook page popped up supporting the shutdown snark site – Peter Baugher and Julia Allison googled the fans of this page. They then googled their work places and called them up and repeatedly harassed them, threatening to call their employers and have them fired. Then came the Cease and Desist letters sent from Peter Baugher’s own law firm. Hmmmmm, I wonder why people want to make anonymous comments Peter? Maybe so lunatic lawyers don’t harass you at work and try and get you fired. (PS, it was proven, the person they harassed the most never contributed or commented at the snark site).

While I totally agree that we should be preventing “unfair and unwarranted anonymous attacks” I think it’s ludicrous for Julia Allison and her father to try to attack anonymous critics considering she is a self-described celebrity.

She went out of her way to court fame (gawker, wired, a million television interviews) and has deliberately put herself in the limelight seeking attention. In fact, it has been reported that she has even signed on to a new reality show. I would assume that having spent a few years mocking celebrities herself as Star Magazines talking head, you would think she would be familiar with the discussions that happen around celebrities and people who live the public life, no? If Julia was just a normal girl who was being victimized by peers, I would be completely on board, but by her own biography as a “former wired girl” I think this isn’t the case and Peter Baugher should stop trying to rationalize away the fact that many people online find his daughter’s behaviour deplorable. Further more, the site in question never posts defamatory comments and instead simple parses content that Julia herself makes available to the public…AS AN INTERNET PERSONALITY. Am I the only one who is confused by his tirade?

While it might be a harsh stance, I think that if you are going to put your content online you have to be ready for people to not like what you have to say. And if what you’re selling is yourself then you have to accept that some people might just hate you. Does that mean they have the right to harass you? Absolutely not. But do they have the right to have their opinion and express that opinion? I think they do.
