A pediatrician under a pseudonym posted blog entries about a malpractice suit. Reports state that the physician made derisive comments about the plaintiffs and jury. This ill considered blogging practice by the physician led to him being confronted on the stand about his blog entries and admission as to the pseudonym used.
Shortly after admitting to being the source of the blog commentaries the physician and his defense team were forced to settle the case for a significant sum. Moral: Think before you blog. Even if you think identities are protected.
