Diana Hsieh, a blogger in California, is being sued for suggesting that a link exists between Scientology and Front Sight, the largest firearms training facility in the country. Now another site is being threatened with legal action by Front Sight, because of negative comments posted by users on their message board. Light of Reason has some well-written entries about these events (search for "scientology" on their page).

Yeah I saw this on Instapundit. Why doesn't some younger version of Guiliani slap some RICO on these thugs?

I screwed up the link to Front Sight... first-post jitters, I guess.

Careful what you say. You might get sued.

Does anyone else feel that gun-totin', war-bloggin' Objectivists and desert-trainin', harrassing-lawsuit-bringin' Scientologists rather deserve each other? Or is that just me?

I see your point, Adam, but...

"When they came for the warbloggers, I didn't speak up because I wasn't a warblogger."

etc.

Diana doesn't seem to be a wacko gun nut to me, however I don't know that much about her. In any case, she shouldn't be bullied into shutting her mouth because someone didn't like what she said.
