August 27, 2008Supporting Harry's Place
Like Justin, I'm no fan of Harry's Place, but bloggers should and must stand together whenever anyone tries the stunt of bypassing the author of any blog and instead censoring their content via bullshit legal threats to a service provider...
Mr Eugenedies - Harry's Place taken down
... and I think this applies even if the offending content wasn't a typo, but instead a deliberate misrepresentation.
Your first step - always - is to confront and challenge the author directly. Even if they're people like Iain Dale, Paul Staines and their little hanger-on Phil Hendren (i.e. determined to avoid or complicate that challenge) you should at least try.
PS - Mr E mentions the cuddly Mr Alisher Usmanov in his post. It might amuse you to recall all of the time and effort Usmanov put into being referred to as a 'Russian billionaire' instead of an 'Uzbek billionaire' in order to make his money more palatable to Westerners.
