I don't get it

So now Whale Oil is being sued for defamation by Matt Blomfield.

I blogged about the Whale's apparent ability to get away with writing whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and as many times as he wants without any repercussions a couple of weeks ago.

I compared the situation to my own legal issues at the time whereby i had not even named the people involved and was being dragged through a silly court case.

I found the whole thing amusing.

There is one thing that i don't understand in regards to the whole Matt Blomfield vs Slater thing though.

What is up with The Whale's obsession with Matt!?

One look at that Whale Oil link and the dozens of posts full of information that absolutely no one would bother taking the time to read and not many people would care about has me thinking - SO WHAT?

Matt Blomfield was a pizza shop owner that may or may not have done some dodgy deals.

SO WHAT?

In saying that though - i will never eat another Hell's Pizza after seeing the franchise owners and how they bully the franchisees on Campbell Live last week.

Lucky for me La Padella at Highland Park does a much nicer pizza anyway.

I guess it will be interesting to see how this court case plays out. I don't envy Slater right now. Mental legal proceedings are enough to do anyone's head in. If the Whale is lucky - Matt will have Madeleine Flannagan or Simon Buckingham representing him.
