Out Witches, Out.....7/23

This would appear to be a fishing expedition for all the dissidents/contributors in the area. Suddenly, we go from get the blogger, to silence the masses. And the court goes along, providing the horsepower.

Suddenlink is being compelled to disclose up to 10 identities of its customers, with most if not all totally innocent of the blog, merely contributors/readers.

Since contributing to the blog is a firing offense for Essent employees, what does that foretell for their customers? I would say a rapid decrease, if the company willingly complies. Even unwillingly. Have heard several business owners say they will be pulling their business should this go through. Both advertising and internet.

Since no federal agencies have entered into the fray, it would seem that no federal laws have been broken: No HIPAA violations. What Judge McDowell has done is act on a case without merit. Giving a stick to Essent to ferret out those making honest commentary.
