The only way to fight bloggers is through...blogging. Fighting fire with fire--if you will--is the only way to really ram a blogger on the head. I've seen this before when Sony PR went after Kotaku.com. Of course, in the end Kotaku never stood down. They posted the e-mails that were being exchanged back and forth to Sony PR and it ended up irritating Kotaku's following and a bit of Sony's fans against Sony. They ended up kissing and making up afterwards, though. If the company really wanted to fight dirty and more effectively, they'd sneak a wad of cash under the table to some hot-shot writer to write about stuff against the other blogger's posts. That's just my thought, though. This guy needs a curse in PR. The only way to fight bloggers is through…blogging.
