> 3) The fact that Anne Milton is quoted by
Sandra Howard asserting
that
Tim
Ireland was "stalking" her through the weblog is particularly
significant. It is a notably extreme accusation.
Well, the jury will have to describe whether objecting to such
harassment makes Anne Milton more notable than otherwise. Or whether
she is reacting as a normal person might well do.
That does beg the question of whether the existence of the blog or its
contents amounts to "harassment", or whether such harassment would be
over and above the level of scrutiny and fair comment anyone might
expect when standing for public office. I haven't made my mind up on
that.
And we should let people make up their own minds by letting them see the new
stories and the blog posts.
