Mike at Crime and Federalism wrote back in July about How the Legal Blogosphere Has Changed: The modern legal blogosphere sucks because it’s been overrun by legal marketers, and because people who might be able to engage in actually-interesting conversations are too busy sucking up to their e-friends and e-colleagues.

Despite the very clear line above the comment box saying, “Leave a (non-anonymous) Reply,” some North Carolina whackjob tried to leave a comment under the name “JustAnotherVictim” an hour ago.
