That is a perfect example of not taking someone's bullying and standing up for your rights!

In general, attempts to silence bloggers usually backfire. Best story ever? That guy Phil--the blogger who threw the Nokia party earlier this year. Okay, so, here's what happened ... this random guy <a target="_blank" href="http://www.finlandforthought.net/2007/03/18/alexis-kouros-threatens-finland-for-thought-with-legal-action-over-copyright-infringment/" rel="nofollow">threatens</a> Phil with a lawsuit. Phil calls his bluff, publishes the whole account on his blog and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.finlandforthought.net/2007/03/20/finland-for-thought-acquires-legal-representation/" rel="nofollow">acquires legal representation</a>. But, that's not even the best part of the story. The best part is that Phil actually <a target="_blank" href="http://www.finlandforthought.net/2007/04/20/ive-filed-a-complaint-to-helsinki-court-district-against-alexis-kouros/" rel="nofollow">filed a complaint</a> against the guy for threatening him. So, now the guy: (1) kinda made himself look like a jackass in public **and** (2) he has to pay Phil for damages. Papigiulio: You’re funny. :-)

MamaChristy: No prob; you’re welcome for the links.

Donna: THANKS! :)

Hang in there. If anyone tries to sue me, I'll tell them I know the FBC.
