Science Fraud faces legal threats

From Science Fraud’s post:

In recent days this site has been the subject of numerous legal attacks, and as such we have no option other than to suspend things. A lawyer attempted to subpoena contact information from our web hosting company. Well, someone somewhere succeeded, and proceeded to email over 100 people encouraging them to file suit against an individual they allege is behind the site (the person who sent the email is james.mcdonaughey365@gmail.com but that’s a fake name – apparently anonymity is OK if you’re inciting lawsuits but not if you’re investigating scientific misconduct).
