Science blogger sued - UPDATE - August 29, 2007

Last week we highlighted a legal action against science blogger PZ Myers. According to a post on Myers’s blog the $15 million action has been withdrawn by Stuart Pivar, who was claiming Myers libelled him in reviewing his alternative theory of evolution. “I can't say that I was ever really worried — the man had no case — but it's nice to see that silly potential time-suck gone,” said Myers. However Pivar’s lawyer is apparently threatening legal action against lawyer Peter Irons, who has been writing letters examining the case (one of which is at the bottom of this blog post on The Panda’s Thumb).
