GELFAND’S WORLD-In my previous column, I discussed the legal wrangling going on between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Daily Kos website. Kennedy claims that he has been libeled by an anonymous author who published on Daily Kos as DowneastDem. Kennedy therefore wishes to force Daily Kos to reveal the true identity of DowneastDem. Markos Moulitsas, the publisher of Daily Kos, is putting up a legal defense against the legal filings. My view as expressed on Monday was that libel should not be protected simply because an author chooses to take advantage of anonymity, and that the appropriate place to determine whether a libel has occurred is to play the conflict out in a court of law. I haven't changed that opinion -- real libel is, after all, a way of bullying that should not be protected even under the First Amendment -- but there is a subtlety to this story that was brought to my attention after Monday's publication.
