If Ms. Cohen did indeed lose bookings as a result of all this (I'm dubious), it probably wasn't due to the blog. It was more likely due to , scaring her once-flawless face. Or maybe it was her complete over-the-top reaction to that blog and the resulting publicity. As boneheaded moves go, that was pure numbskull.

(Unless her aim was to get a lot of publicity -- in which case, it was sheer brilliance.)

B. R. also implies that, because I was writing about a woman who was wronged and wasn't wringing my hands and saying "poor thing," I too am a misogynist. Later in the letter she likens me to some attorney who apparently defamed her and later was found to be practicing law online without a license. Say what?

Turning Mr. Anonymous's column to a better ending - what about educating your readers as how government usually allows these fake attorneys to roam the world freely?

Full disclosure: I practice snarky commentary online without a license. But my dog has one. Does that count?
