It's hard to know how all this fits into some grand agenda, but LA Times staff writer and WJI teacher Roy Rivenburg once was on the receiving end of a defamation lawsuit (specifically, the LA Times was for something he had written). This website tells all about it. It's pretty interesting, and also quite creepy.
...It looks like we have a bit of sock puppetry of sorts going on. I just noticed that there was this whole discussion in the comments to this post here between someone named "Saxophone" and the operator of the Michel Thomas website linked above. The latter repeatedly asks Saxophone if s/he's actually Roy Rivenburg. I don't know who it is, but the posts were coming from the LA Times server...
