He gets paid $230,000 / year but seems to have plenty of time on his hands for surfing the net and posting incoherent blog comments. Jen Epstein has written some excellent articles about this Ligonier Ministries lawsuit. Now Jen has posted some Open Letters on her blog. Everyone who's concerned about the obvious shame and embarrassment that this Ligonier Ministries lawsuit will bring upon the Christian community should copy and paste them and mail them to Ligonier. <a href="http://jensgems.blogspot.com/2006/09/open-letter-to-dr-rc-sproul.html" rel="nofollow">Open Letter to Dr. Sproul</a> (for some strange reason Tim Dick posted a comment on Dr. Sproul's Open Letter, not his own), <a href="http://jensgems.blogspot.com/2006/09/open-letter-to-vesta-sproul-and.html" rel="nofollow">Open Letter to Vesta Sproul and the Board of Directors</a> <a href="http://jensgems.blogspot.com/2006/09/open-letter-to-tim-dick.html" rel="nofollow">Open Letter to Tim Dick</a>. <a href="http://jensgems.blogspot.com/2006/09/contending-with-ligonier-ministries.html" rel="nofollow">Contending With Ligonier Ministries</a>.

A sad testimony for Christians and homeschool families.

Since his <a href="http://instapundit.com/" rel="nofollow">Instapundit</a> site is one of the most popular weblogs around, I guess Ligonier will soon find out whether it was a good idea to make this matter public. Reynolds also points to <a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=898013" rel="nofollow">a pretty good article</a> he wrote called "Libel in the Blogosphere: Some Preliminary Thoughts." What's most helpful is that Reynolds (a law professor) gives a clear and simple explanation of the purpose of libel law and the protections it is supposed to provide. He then goes on to point out that such protections may no longer be necessary, given how quickly corrections can be published and how easy it is these days to publish one's own side of the story.

(New York Times v. Sullivan) His right to have an opinion is also protected by First Amendment. You have to prove that your reputation/business was damaged in a defam. lawsuit to collect any monies, as Dana pointed out. Very, very hard to do, btw. I find this lawsuit extremely petty; speaks poorly of this mininstry, not the blogger.

Many years ago I did read one of the articles by G Richard Fisher. I am glad to run across it again. I also bought a boatload of <em>A Matter of Basic Principles</em> and frequently give them away. The only real problem I have with that book is that it doesn't go far enough. I could have added a few chapters. Thanks so much, Jeff.
