Yet more debate on this whole situation. This discussion is very interesting, its much different to the ongoing discussions in the blogosphere. People here seem to be bringing the credentials of Rick Ross into question rather than that other guy.
Another interesting blog that I had not seen before, Overlawyered, has a brief mention of the story. The stories on it are all good reads, very informative.
Slugger has also weighed in with his views on the story.
John Howard over at For What It’s Worth writes a lengthy piece on the ongoing legal saga I find myself in.
John articulates his views in a concise and clear cut manner, as one would expect from a lawyer. He takes it in two sections, law and facts. He believes that any case brought against me would not win. He concludes:
Bottom line: Gavin’s statements appear to be true. Usually one bullet is sufficient to kill the fish in the barrel, and that should do it. If Gavin wants to fire a few more, he could point out that even if it’s false, I didn’t know that it was (in fact, there is a lot of stuff online that appears to confirm Gavin’s statements); even if I knew it was false, you could never prove I knew that; even if you could prove I more likely than not knew it, you can’t prove clearly and convincingly that I knew it was false . . . .
What about malice? The only malice I see on Gavin’s site is from Gray’s attorneymaybe he should look up “malicious prosecution.”
I would like to thank John for his summing up of the situation. It is a great read for any bloggers that might find themselves in this situation in the future.

To all those in the area of Toronto this weekend, some bloggers including myself plan to meet up in C’est What? on Saturday night. Everyone and anyone welcome – though I hear this place is pretty busy. Rumour has it that Cory Doctorow might make a trip in.
No time as yet…just keep an ear out for the loud Irish guy in the corner with a pint of Guinness.
Benzino is dead. At least lyrically. Eminem has shut him down with his words and the more Benzino makes different attempts to attack Eminem, the more he looks ridiculous in front of the public opinion.

Eminem has never shied away from addressing serious topics in his rhymes. But when it comes to hooking up with his old rap group from Detroit, D12, Eminem seems determined to keep it silly.

Marshall is not only a dedicated daddy to Hailie, he is also a great big brother to Nathan. Since Nathan was born, Eminem used to take care of his little brother. He pretty much raised him. In an interview given to Lang Whitaker, Eminem talks about the way he used to take care of Nathan:

Since June 2001, Kim has been dealing with serious cocaine addiction problems.
It seems like her addiction problems have become worse since June 2003. She had been arrested for cocaine possession and her arrestation caused a lot of problems to Marshall during his European Tour. Marshall was so worried of what could happen to Hailie when he heard about Kim being arrested that immediatly filed some documents in Michigan Court in order to get Hailies full custody.
Kim was arrested on June the 10 th, 2003 :

Being a huge Eminem fan, I have been confronted to those questions many times : « How will Hailie react as a teenager when she will discover the full version of « Bonnie and Clyde » and of songs like « Kim », for instance ?
Many Eminem detractors have objected me that Eminem was so « evil », that his daughter would end up hating her father.
I am totally convinced of the contrary and let me tell you why :
