5 ways to deal with evil bloggers

What happened to Kathy Sierra is unfortunate. Some fellow bloggers have ganged up and resorted to stalking, using foul language on their blogs – cowardly activities all.

Learning that someone like the ‘respected’ Cluetrain Manifesto co-author Chris Locke (aka Rageboy) is a part of the ugly business is sobering.

As if Splogs were not enough, what do you do when your fellow bloggers turn evil on you? Some suggestions:

1. Ignore the louts.
2. Form a group of bloggers and web site owners and counterattack - bring out the truth. Rake up any thing you get on these cowards. Show them what they really are beneath that sheen of knowledge and wisdom - a lot of frustrated souls.
3. Continue blogging: We will never let evil win by shutting down our voice. Keep the conversations going.
4. Don't let the government in to regulate things. History tells us government regulation fuels bad stuff and that government stifles the voices of decent citizens.
5. Picket the bloggers' homes. Hang placards outside their homes: "A coward blogger lives here"
