I see your Schwartz is as litigious as mine

This is a link. This is a link to a photo. This is a link to a photo of a guy who sometimes calls himself "Stephen Schwartz" -- when he's not calling himself "Comrade Sandalio" or "Suleyman Ahmed" or whatever he happens to be calling himself at any given time.

Comrade Stephen Suleyman Sandalio Ahmed Schwartz is (not for the first time) threatening to sue AntiWar.Com for linking to the photo.

To expropriate Tolstoy's take on Nietszche, Comrade Stephen Suleyman Sandalio Ahmed Schwartz is stupid and abnormal. Linking to something is not grounds for suit. If you don't want the damn photo linked to, move or remove it. And no, Mr. Schwartz, you have no grounds for a suit here either. Matters of opinion, especially about "public figures," are protected speech. If they weren't, you'd be screwed yourself.
