Heads up, bloggers. One couple is taking bloggers to court after the blog hinted they might be linked to a rash of local fires. The blog is part of an ongoing feud.

A Nashville couple is suing a local blog they say invaded their privacy and libeled them.

The lawsuit, filed in Davidson County Circuit Court on Monday, alleges that three John Doe defendants libeled Don and Terry Swartz of Old Hickory on a blog titled "Stop Swartz" (http://stopswartz.blogspot.com).

The anonymous blog, which lists its first post in September 2007, levies several accusations against the Swartzes, who live in Old Hickory Village. The lawsuit details an October post linking the Swartzes to fires set throughout the neighborhood last year.
