Several years ago, I had a blog post accuse me of being behind an Internet personality. While the personality was not criminal in actions, the blog did bring unwarranted and uncomfortable attention toward me.

I was not the person they posted. I spoke with my attorneys and they advised me to contact the author and explain they needed to publicly retract the statement as a first and cheaper tactic. The author caved. They were just guessing and had no proof. I guess I had written some things in a public sphere that reminded them of that person and attributed it to me.
