Seems more likely that he didn’t consult counsel before sending his bumptious takedown demands.

When attorney Ken White posted frequently to the Popehat blog, he sometimes received remarkably crazy takedown demands, which he published for the general amusement of his readers. One of the more hilarious included the phrase “You are libel!”

On the internet maybe nobody knows you’re a dog, but it’s often easy to tell you’re not a lawyer.

There comes a time when a lawyer should have the courage to tell his client that it’s time to fold and walk away from the table.
