I stumbled upon a massive blog with several pages devoted to attacking one of the scientists who's the target of this lawsuit. It spends thousands of words, paired with obsessive screenshots and photos of Cease and Desist orders, claiming the woman is actually the bad one, and repeatedly insisting she's an industry plant. Wild claims link to more wild claims.

"High-strung" is putting it nicely.

That's concerning. I hope she's got means to protect herself.

Yeah, the whole group seems obsessively litigious. The founder Alexander Rhodes sued his own mother for criticizing his community's extremist elements.
