Hi Richard,
    Yes, Google does host the blog and they are being sued to force them to divulge the name of the anonymous blogger and poster.

I am not taking a position on who is right or wrong with regard to the policies of the Lawrence School Board.

I am only taking a position with regard to the constitutional rights of a blogger to crticize the policies of an elected public official.

Yes, Pamela Greenbaum is Jewish. That is why the anonymous poster on Orthomom's blog could not have been seriously intending to defame or libel her by refrerring to her as "an ugly bigoted anti semite". It was just used as a figure of speech to attack her public policy vote.

Orthomom was ready to delete the offending post had Pamela asked her to do so. Instead, Pamela through her attorney asked the judge to make sure that the post remained on the blog so that the evidence would not be destroyed.

I hope this clarifies the situation.
