32. I worry too

Feb 2012

I've talked with a lawyer about this, and have not decided yet if I'm going to pursue any action. There are big problems with defamation lawsuits, it seems ridiculous but most lawyers don't have any interest in this kind of suit, because they are notoriously hard to win and the damages tend to be small.

What I really want is an apology and correction, and of course it would be nice if he ended going the way of Pat Buchanan, but that's too much to ask, I'm sure.

In the meantime, just a quick thank you to everyone here for the supportive comments and the emails I've gotten privately. They give me hope!

Holly
