When I first began writing about Brett Kimberlin’s attempts use lawfare to silence bloggers who wrote about him, he claimed that truthfully writing about him on the Internet was harassment. Eleven years ago today, I posted You Keep Using That Word.

I do not think it means what you think it means, Mr. Kimberlin. Writing true things about you and publishing those writings on the Internet is not harassment. In fact, what you are doing by threatening frivolous charges against bloggers such as Aaron Walker is harassment.

That Army of Davids you expressed concern about is marching forth, but it’s not a militia. It’s a group of people who are standing up for the First Amendment. You really don’t want to meet us in court.

I tried to warn him.

After tangling with the likes of Aaron Walker and me, he would up losing one set of defamation claims because he couldn’t prove what we wrote and said was false and another set because a court found that his reputation was so bad he was defamation proof.

And he’s still the Speedway Bomber.
