Description

David Gonzales, a freelance writer who blogs on the TheBadandUgly [2] and Read It or Don't [3], received an email from a "legal representative" for Irish actor Colin Farrell alleging that a post he had written about the actor was defamatory. In his post describing the threat [4], Gonzales did not mention the content in his orginal post, nor did he reproduce the letter.

The original post is no longer available and it appears that Gonzales removed the post in reponse to the email threat.
