They are. This is the sort of case they built their
former reputation on, before they turned to the dark side.

But this thread does serve as a reminder to FR users that,
like Buckhead, you cannot assume that you have impenetrable
anonimity here. A court order, or someone just connecting
the dots, can blow your cover.

Which is the primary reason I posted it. The political shenanigans of this town hold very little interest to anyone outside.........but the ramifications of this suit will most likely have an impact on us all.

That's who it's very important, when charging public officials and others with probable, serious misconduct, you always include weasel words that indicate what you're writing is your opinion, rather than a direct statement of fact, unless the public figure's in a positin where suing would do him more harm than good.

how was Buckhead identified? if someone said "Buckhead is XYZ", he must have admitted to it at some point to complete the "outing".
