The Media Bloggers Association reported yesterday evening that Warren Kremer Paino Advertising (WKPA) had withdrawn its claim against Maine blogger Lance Dutson.
We offered some analysis of this case just a few days ago, and it looks like WKPA arrived at the same conclusion we (and many other blog-savvy communications types) did: don’t sue a blogger unless your case is airtight. There are many other more productive ways to combat an Internet detractor.
I have only one bone to pick with Dutson. In his post celebrating the withdrawal of the multimillion dollar lawsuit, he wrote, “This will make the Cinqo de Mayo celebration tonight that much sweeter (and may even mean it starts earlier) for the Dutson clan.”
We at the BBS are all glad to know that Mr. Dutson is celebrating. But for the record, it’s spelled Cinco de Mayo. Still, given all he’s been through - we might just need to give Mr. Dutson a free pass.
