I don't know anything about this particular case but Jim "piss, fuck, cum" Sterling is someone I have zero respect for. Some of his personal vendettas have been so incredibly childish that he comes across as an arrogant asshole who uses shock value and insults to stay relevant while claiming that he has no responsibility to be accurate or factual because he's only a blogger.
I'm not saying I hope he loses, though, not if this is just about someone being angry over criticism. That would be a bad precedent. However, on a personal level, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
As an interesting subtext, Sterling always makes a big deal about not being a journalist, thus freeing him from any kind of journalistic integrity. I wonder if that means he can't use "journalism" as a defense?
