Blogging And The Internet Prevents Many People From Physical Injury

Model Liksula Cohen still not getting apology from blogger Rosemary Port
Outed blogger Rosemary Port may be sorry she savaged a Canadian model as a "skank" and a "ho," but the cyber slinger certainly isn't going to say so.

Kelly McParland: Rosemary Port's absolute right to insult

Posted: August 25, 2009, 12:14 PM by NP Editor

Rosemary Port would appear to have some attitude issues to deal with.

Port is the 29-year-old fashion student who felt she had been wronged by Canadian fashion model Liskula Cohen and got even by anonymously posting insulting comments about her on a blog site.

Ms. Cohen, who took offence in turn to being called a "skank" and a "ho" claimed she had been defamed and demanded Google provide the identity of the blogger. Google complied after receiving a court order.

Now Ms. Port is outraged. She claims she has every right to attack anyone she pleases while hiding her own identity. It's Ms. Cohen who's in the wrong, for making a big deal out of an itty-bitty posting calling her rude names. If she hadn't done so, Ms. Port claims, no one would have noticed.
