The Hollywood manager and the blogger have been going at it since at least 2002, when Ford profiled Wald on his website. Ford then posted the transcripts of Wald's angry phone calls, including one message that said: "If I see one more word with your name attached to me on your website, you're (swear word here) dead. Do you understand that? You can tape-record that." If I'm reading Ford's site right, he hasn't added anything to the Wald Files in a couple of years. But in May, he received a lawyer's letter demanding a correction or else. The defamation lawsuit suit was filed Thursday, with a first hearing set for October.
