The point is that the person in question knew that most of those who write against him would not want to be dragged into a civil lawsuit. See, it's a misuse of the legal process. Also the point is that I am student, it's visible in my profiles, so anyone can guess I won't be able to give much of a fight. That was not exactly a private harassment threat. I think it's not private if it's cunningly backed up by legal clause, it could have been if it was a phone call or just a normal mail. I know a few top bloggers who went head on head against this person in court and one of them won too. But the drama didn't end there. Blind mind washed supporters of this guy took to making that person's life hell. See that's the price some people are paying for standing up against the injustice and falsehood. And I know writing down on a public forum is of no help. But somehow it cools me down. Thank you for the reply.

I live in India. Here some people are still trapped in superstitious beliefs and practices. There's spiritual guide named as Nirmal Baba, I wrote a post against him on my blog highlighting the ways he was using to corrupt the minds of the common people. The post was written one year ago. After that I had promoted it for a while, did some SEO and stuff. And then it faded away as Nirmal Baba obscured from public view because the media was targeting him one year ago. Then slowly the channels started shutting their mouths. His show " The third eye of Nirmal Baba" started re-airing on all the news channels in the morning slot as was earlier. I realized that things can't be changed. Nirmal Baba is a millionaire. He shut those people up. Sued everyone writing against him and then came my turn. I was sent a legal notice for writing against him, here's the link of the legal notice to read online : http://goo.gl/rWOvbn I talked to a lawyer. I was assured that if matters go into court, I would win. But I was also made alert that the potential harassment by followers of the Baba could make my life a nightmare. I DELETED THAT BLOG POST. (Here's the original html files : http://goo.gl/vm2Ske )And that's the price I had to pay. Forget morals and standing up against wrong, Same as here, the dentist is misusing the legal powers to shut people up from expressing what they truly feel. This is not what happens in a democracy! And if the people aren't free to post on the internet, then we are surely entering a despotic age!

Such innovations are being made daily. It did not redefine computing nor is a leap signiifcant enough to close my other 12 tabs just to see this story :D I think I should stop giving Slashdot so much attention :P -- And I thought my jokes were bad!
