I do remember The Great Satan, and his interest in Project Hatfill - indeed, I have a vague memory that it was his blog - or maybe not, I can’t get the details right.

This is a fascinating story, and it shows the limits of the anonynimity of the internet.

You remember correctly. << Project Hatfill >> was TGS's blog on blogspot. I think earlier called << The Hatfill Deception >> on Angelfire.

Offending blog vis-a-vis Newsweek was the << Luigi Warren >> blog, which was << NOT >> by Luigi Warren aka TGS, but by some stalker who accused him.

Newsweek says the stalker was Michie.

Both blogs are gone gone gone. Warren's was at hatfill.blogspot.com, now innocuous pap. The stalker's was at luigiwarren.blogspot.com, just gone.

Still mysterioso: Why did Hatfill sue over the stalking, when the stalking was aimed at Warren???

Yes, it's a fascinating story.

The limits-of-anonymity point you brought up is interesting:

John Michie's identity was revealed through Internet sleuthing, requiring a lawsuit and perhaps Hatfill's gravitas to get Google to give in.

However, Luigi Warren as TGS's real name was revealed the old-fashioned way: someone who knew him spilled the beans.
