Blog Libel Threat
Irish blogger Gavin Sheridan is facing a blog libel threat because he referred to Dr John Gray (him of the self-help book Men are From Pluto and Women are from Uranus, or whatever it's called) as a "fraud".
Unfortunately, Gray is on the side of right, since Gavin stated for fact that which he could not prove to be true.
Perhaps if he'd prefixed his statement with "According to....", he might be in a better off position.
As I've commented in his entry, he'd be best to apologise, retract the statement, change the entry, and move on.
Found on Dan Gillmor's eJournal.
