Bloggers in LA under legal attack from companies they cover

The LA Times reports a rash of legal threats and filings against Los Angeles-area bloggers reporting on the real estate implosion in that most fantastic of places.

Blogs getting hit, according to the story, include Blown Mortgage, Housing Doom and blog / lender (?) called Implode-O-Meter.

With names like that, one can surmise that these bloggers are not invited to the annual real estate luncheon at the Rotary. Now they're being invited to court with summonses. It's getting very nasty out there!
