Twisted Legal: Google reveals identity of Cohen 'skank' blogger | ZDNet Government | ZDNet.com

Can you say "whiner"?

Someone calls this person names, and she fights Google in court over the "attack".

First off, three words: FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.  The person in question had the right to their speech.  It was dirty words, but in the end, that appears to be all it was (now if it was giving away privileged information, like model Cohen's home address or phone number, I stand corrected).

Second off, bloggers must be aware of the ramifications of what they post.  If it can be backed up, it is fair game.  If it can't, it is probably better left untyped.
