		<description>I looked up the website http://www.nashvillenawbo.com/ mentioned above.  It turns out that the Nashville branch of the National Assoc. of Women Business Owners are pleased to be having Mr. Kirk Leipzig, owner of J L Kirk Associates speak at their April luncheon and bring his pearls of wisdom (presumably on how not to bully bloggers) to the happy assembled ladies.</description>

		<description>This is an attempt to silence her. They know they have no case, but want to hurt her with legal bills. They&#039;ll drag the case out until she cries uncle. It&#039;s the Scientology method of dealing with those who speak the truth.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Now, anyone researching JL Kirk on the web will find out about it. They’ve probably done more damage with this than her original post did. In other news, don’t send bloggers stuff that makes you look like an asshat. They tend to blog about it.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Don&#039;t pick a fight with someone who can harvest all the fully recyclable electrons they want with open source blogging software, or something like that. We need an analogy for the olde &quot;ink by the barrel&quot; saying.</description>

		<description>As tacky as this is going to sound, I&#039;d suggest creating a new Wikipedia article just on JL Kirk 7 Associates.  I&#039;d do it myself but I&#039;m not really all that familiar with the details beyond this particular event.  In any case, I&#039;d put together a Wikipedia article that describes what they are, links to their web page, etc, etc, and then goes into this debacle.

Wikipedia articles tend to be highly favored in Google searches, and it would also bring some more attention to their actions.</description>

		<description>Both Uncle and I made a joke that someone should blog this at KnoxViews.

But if they did metulj, Andy Axel, and Randy Neal would most probably take the side of JL Kirk &amp; Associates and tell Kat Coble she was wrong and to take the posts off her blog.

Some people don&#039;t get it.</description>

		<description>After the instalanche they have been &quot;Kirked&quot; very hard and it wasn&#039;t in the knee. Close to the knee but a little North and on the other side.

JL Kirk &amp; Associates could easily have lost several hundred thousand dollars today in lost commissions.

Is there any doubt by this time tomorrow &quot;Kirk&quot; and &quot;Kirked&quot; will be new Internet verbs? 

I think they just Kirked themselves.</description>

		<description>Your title in contrast to what she actually wrote brings up a good point.  In order for them to find her liable for defamation they would have to prove that she did in fact, as I paraphrase what you wrote, &#039;call them asshats&#039;.

...But she didn&#039;t.  She was very careful in how she wrote how she THOUGHT they were &quot;asshats&quot;.  I believe this is probably enough of a semantic distinction to provide her an &#039;out&#039; instead of actually having to prove in court that they were not, in fact, actual head-wear of the ass or regions there about.   

...But then again, they could try to prove her confident enough to make that distinction: between &#039;asshats&#039; and employees of an employment agency, thereby concluding that her intentions were, indeed, defamatory. 

I dunno.</description>
