Heh, perhaps I do give the guy too much credit.
On the language point, considering the nature of the language I use in my letters and agreements I draft, I found his letter to be quite refreshing (at least in terms of the language used rather than its intention!).
I also don't think he fully appreciates the complexity of how the web works. I'm sure through his sex.com case he's pretty familiar with how domain names work and the legal recourse for dealing with those, but he just seems totally out of his depth discussing libel.
As for the "punch it into Google", it's hilariously colloquial at best and ignorant of the way which Google works at worst.
