Absolute Defense

I've been away for a bit. Busy getting settled in, new job, plus I've had a few health issues, all of which have kept me away from you, Internets.

But, I got something in my email this morning which I can't ignore. Heidi Diaz has decided to file a countersuit in the Kimkins drama, not only against the principles in the lawsuit against her, but Roes 1-100, inclusive, which presumably means various other individuals who have been dedicated to exposing the truth of Kimkins. Such as we anti-kimkins bloggers.

I've not been named, to the best of my knowledge, but if I were to be, I'm not too terribly worried. Why is that, Heidi?

Because truth is an absolute defense to libel.

Because you will have to prove that anyone you try and haul into court has lied. And nobody has.

Because in the course of said countersuit, all manner of fun things about you could potentially come out in the open through the process of discovery, things that will then become part of the public record. Do you really want that, Heidi?

Apparently, you do. Knock yourself out :)
