The New York Times's Marianne Rohrlich seems to have gone ballistic on some nice little weblogger. Reportedly, Ms. Rohrlich, of the House and Home section, called the weblog Apartment Therapy and said "Did it occur to you that it is not right to just lift other people's work? Our legal department is going to be calling you!" We find it odd that Ms. Rohrlich doesn't use contractions when she talks, but hey, we're taking their word on it.

Apartment Therapy bends over backwards to show Ms. Rohrlich some love. Speaking from our vast legal experience of being threatened and bullied — feel free not to do a damn thing but be polite until you get a letter, kids. The NYT legal department is a big and extremely busy place, given their propensity for getting threatened with suit themselves.
