Bloggers beware: the normal legal protections from libel and defamation of character may be coming to the Wild, Wild, Wild West of the Internet. Roy Holmgren of Murrieta, CA is tired of anonymous attacks saying that he "is a stalker, that he is married to an illegal alien, that he has committed crimes that destroyed property, illegally gained credit report information, vandalized a blogger's sport utility vehicle, and that he begs for money on the side of the road.
