NY Mag was sued at least when I looked up the case and there appears to be a notice of settlement posted on the docket. I believe they settled. Sometimes it makes more sense to get money than ask for a retraction when coming out of prison :-)

The NPR story has been retracted. Jeff Ervine lied, got called out, and for an anti-cyber bully activist, he did exactly what he complained of. The NPR link has a retraction posted at the link, on Facebook, and on its Twitter feed.

Here is the Jeffrey Ervine retraction by NPR. I wonder if the Bridg-It sponsors will get a note about his actions?

The story got retracted in total by NPR: click on the NPR link. It seems that Jeffrey Ervine, the self-proclaimed anti-cyber bully advocate, had fabricated everything from start to finish, to help his Bridg-It business sell its products. Congrats NPR and all the others here! Way to go!
