Yeah, But We've Conquered The Nerdosphere!

Meaghan surveys Canadian media coverage of Warman's lawsuits against the National Post and various bloggers and finds it "minuscule". Maybe less than minuscule, as I don't think "Donklephant" counts as Canadian, or media.

And the Steynosaurs are attacking!

Our site [Law is Cool] was apparently hacked again last night. In addition to uploading spam content, they also deleted all plug-ins and several pages, including the ones on the Macleans case and Blawger of the Year Daniel Simard. We seem to encounter these problems every time we post something critical of Steyn, which we find unfortunate.

Click on the above link and see Law is Cool not being there.

You know Mark, you might mention to your followers that hacking websites if sorta against the law. They do hang upon your every word. You might even be able to prevent some actual crimes.

Well that's probably it for today. Real life calls.

Steyn Supporters Hack "Law is Cool"?

Earlier this week this site was hacked. Certain plug-ins were uninstalled (spam filters), comment features changed, and passwords altered. We reappropriated the site from the domain server and reset everything.

Perhaps this was done in perceived retaliation for problems on other sites supporting Steyn. It does demonstrate the strong-arm tactics that Steyn supporters, incidently self-proclaimed champions of “free speech,” use against dissenters. This incident follows a similar one on the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) site last December.

For this reason, the site "will no longer be carrying content related to the Maclean’s case or Mark Steyn. "

Meanwhile, Mr. Steyn is all smiles at the way his side won the debate. He omits mention of the whole cyber-vandalism thing.

Pity. The L-is-C website offered bonafide legal expertise on Mark's (and Ezra's) case and now they have been silenced. That leaves Gary Wise at Wise Law. Hope they don't damage his site.
