The City of Pomona.
Very
clumsy, folks. A city attorney should be able to do better.
When, oh when, will people learn that these "cease and desist" letters will always get posted, and will always bring bad publicity to those who wrote them, unless there is a damned good reason for sending them? (That is, a reason other than intimidation/suppression of First Amendment rights?)
But it's a beautiful thing. Please note the exquisite details:
• web-site
• "publication" [With scare quotes!]
• "blogs" [This one features scare quotes and the usual idiot's confusion of a blog with a blog entry—these are, presumably, the same people who confuse "faxes" with fax machines, and "CDs" with CD players.]
Mmmm. I love the smell of 20th-century modalities in the morning. It smells like . . . well, yeah. I'll say it: Victory.
It just makes me want to "libel" someone.

First they don't know what a blog is.
Then they mis-spell your name.
Then they send you a bewildered and angry cease & desist letter.
Then you win.

The posts have been taken down. The threats worked.
The blogs lose.

Lawyers! They really do believe that they somehow possess projected power of the pen and that people will wilt under their rhetorical skill. I'll always remember what another lawyer (pretty smart too) once told me - that half the lawyers are proved wrong every day.

Joel,
Even when the posts are taken down, the whole world now knows that the City of Pomona is ill-educated regarding new media, and for some wacky reason of its own decided to use the office of the City Attorney to shield a private individual from criticism.
So they aren't looking good right now.
