Q1: is this an example of the Free Market Place of Ideas? Why or why not?
This is a great example of what is to come from free market place of ideas. The initial thought was that it was just a rich man using the power of courts to stop his critic. But what this writer did was use the web in unaccountable ways to write bad things about this man. I believe that this is more of a freedom of speech rather than a free marketplace of ideas.
Q2: Does/would FMI work here?why or why not?
I think that this blogger is abusing his power of freedom of speech. He is criticizing this man just for the sake of doing it. I believe that the free marketplace of ideas could be used here but it should not be used so powerfully like it is in this case.
