The South African blogosphere has been a little quiet on the developments of one Mr Juan Uys being taken to task, in court, for the claims he published on his infamous sex blog a little while back. If this little saga has exposed one learning for me, it is how people would have otherwise forgotten your name after being accused of something not-so-kosher if you'd just let it slide.

Case in point: a certain mayoral committee member is the person behind taking Uys to courts over the allegations. Now, personally (and I'm sure more generally as well) I would have forgotten *insert mayoral committee member's name* and the fact that he'd been implicated in the prostitution stories if he'd just let the allegations slide. Now that he's pursuing the matter in court (and by virtue, in the eye of he public) I now remember his name and what he was accused of. If he'd just let the issue drop, we'd have all forgotten his name and what he was accused of.

Well done *insert mayoral committee member's name*, you've just inadvertently ensured that we all remember who you are.

PS: I've refrained from mentioning *insert mayoral committee member's name*'s name for fear of litigation - he seems to want to take anyone who mentions his name to court.
