The blog is called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popehat.com\/2014\/07\/09\/popehat-signal-help-a-blogger-threatened-by-a-multi-level-marketer-worldventures\/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Popehat+%28Popehat%29\" target=\"_blank\">Popehat<\/a>. As he puts it:<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-left:20px;\">It&#8217;s time for the Popehat Signal \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the call for pro bono assistance for a blogger threatened with frivolous and censorious litigation. This time the victim in need of help is Stephanie Yoder of <a href=\"www.twenty-somethingtravel.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.twenty-somethingtravel.com<\/a>. She needs your help to face a thoroughly bogus and repugnant threat by multi-level marketing scheme &#8220;WorldVentures.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My thought is that it&#8217;s quote possibly attorneys like the ones used by WorldMisadventures who gives attorneys a bad name. One likes think that an officer of the court would be a person of strong integrity, but of course that&#8217;s not always the case.<\/p>\n<p>Though it surprises me each time I see a person who managed to get through the bar exam and then operates as if he thought he could not do an honest day&#8217;s work by doing this kind of, in my eyes, despicable work. I&#8217;ve been a student of life for many decades. I know that people who fester on other&#8217;s weaknesses have their own skeletons in their closets. It&#8217;s those past transgressions which bears down on an individual and makes them cry out for help by hoping someone will handle what they are not able to handle. Namely themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-legal"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":295,"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288\/revisions\/295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.szmidt.org\/blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
