Usually defamation (libel, slander) lawsuits have short statutes of

defamation is published.


How about harrasment?

On a couple of other issues here, I don't agree with the proposition that
the only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity at all. That is a
weasel statement made by a weasel who doesn't understand the agony or damage
caused by defamation, or that good name and reputation are the immediate
jewels of one's soul.

It is true too that most people in the homebuilder community know that
Campbell is a rather nasty little narcissist, but the young and
impressionable who come along fresh and naive must constantly be reminded
that while he may be articulate, he's also got big credibility problems.

On the other hand if he exposes REAL crooks, which sometimes he HAS done, he
contributes a service. So he has a history of blasting advertisers who
decline to renew their ads. You take him and his shills with a grain of
salz.



How useful is a stopped clock? After all, it is "right" twice a day. The
issue then becomes how do you know when its right? If I can't tell by some
measure of trust in the one doing the reporting, it is worthless. ANN is
worthless because you can not trust the accuracy of anything you are reading.
You are never really sure if the story is accurate reporting or an enhancement
of Campbell's own doing in order to give his own warped slant to the story.
