...than threaten to call your lawyer and remove all doubt:

Well it sure looks like our pals at The Brothers of Judea, who focus their blog on criticism of The Huffington Post's coverage of Israel and Jewish matters, have managed to demonstrate that they are having an impact by attracting their first legal threat. HuffPo blogger Mya Guarnieri doesn't appreciate criticism it would seem.

Their prior mentions of Guarnieri, here and here, seem to be rather run of the mill blogger criticisms that shouldn't run afoul of any sort of legal line, but as a far-leftist I'm thinking free speech is probably not one of her most heart-felt values.

Obviously they have nothing to fear, and here's to hoping Guarnieri's attorney charges her good for the opinion. The Brothers are obviously not cowed, as they continue to post on her: Mya Guarnieri Loses Touch.

Hawkeye at CiF Watch has his fun with the issue: Bring it on baby, having a bit more of a look at Mya Guarnieri's writing and linking preferences. And Richard Landes as well: On the MO of a "Scourge": Mya Guarnieri deals with criticism. I like that label for people such as she.

Of course there's nothing wrong with seeking legal relief for true cause, it's just that Guarnieri doesn't have any -- cause, that is.
