For some time you've been watching the progress of a notorious - but anonymous - blogger who has been writing posts that have ridiculed and embarrassed organisations you don't like, with exposes of bad corporate behaviour - toxic waste dumping, featherbedding, that sort of thing
In return there have been threats of libel proceedings and worse made against him - or is it her? - but they come to nothing because their tracks are covered too well. You've been rather enjoying the spectacle. Free speech is such a gift.
As it happens, you have suspicions about who it is because of certain patterns of words, and a few details around this person (the pattern of posting, some personal details they seem to know about their targets). In fact, you have met the person you suspect a few times socially. But you've never had a reason to confirm if they're the Mystery Blogger.
Until today: you go to their blog to find a vituperative attack on your organisation, your department and you (with your name): it's claiming just the same sort of bad behaviour as others.
You're certain that it's untrue, but search engines won't wipe these claims from their caches for the next time you're seeking a job.
Do you use your knowledge and suspicions to try to expose the blogger - which might end that free speech you've so enjoyed before? Or laugh it off and await the next attack on someone else? Or something else?
What do you do?
