The sued: I’m being sued for blogging! The suer: We are now on Twitter to sue people who are micro-blogging about us

I’m being sued by Benihana for blogging
I’ve been receiving an overwhelming amount of support on twitter.
Originally my lawyer told me not to discuss this case with anyone but I feel it is important to share this with everyone since it doesn’t just effect me but the whole blogging community be it in Kuwait, UAE or anywhere else in the region.
