This is a frightening case. Blogger subpoenaed to produce EVERYTHING SHE HAS EVER DONE in this lawsuit.
From Best of the Web:
Kathleen Seidel is a New Hampshire mother of two. She runs a blog, Neurodiversity.com, about autism–a topic of special interest to her as one of her children had an “autistic spectrum diagnosis.” There is a theory that thimerosal, a preservative formerly used in vaccines, causes autism. Seidel has written skeptically of that theory, and of the trial lawyers who have sought to cash in on it.
Take a look at her post Subpoenaed.
She seems to be handling it very well – but talk about a chilling effect.

I really can’t believe this happened – but it looks like you have wide and deep support. Keep us posted.

Thanks for commenting on this.
I am one of the 100+ bloggers mentioned in item 5 of the subpoena.
I am keeping a running list of responses to the Seidel subpoena at I Speak of Dreams. I’ve added your blog.
