Chinese professor sues blog host

web-surfing Chinese professor was nonplussed to find personal attacks against him posted on a blog.

So when the operators of the hosting website refused to remove the offending language, he decided to sue them for harm to his reputation, in what Chinese media yesterday called the first such case to come before the country's courts.

Web site Blogcn.com had told Nanjing University journalism professor Chen Tangfa that it was up to individual bloggers - people who write their own or respond to others' web logs, or blogs - to respect a code of conduct barring insulting or politically sensitive content, the official China Daily reported.
