Per the following Cease and Desist letter from Kaitlyn's legal council, we are currently suspending Woods Wonder activity.

Re: Notice to Cease and Desist Internet Defamation

Dear Mrs Woods;

Please be advised that we have undertaken the representation of Ms. Kaitlyn C. Woods (“Princess”) to investigate and take action regarding a series of unwarranted and defamatory attacks against it made by you on your website “Woods Wonder”(1). While the website is falsely written in the various voices of “KK,” “Kaitlyn,” and “D,” it has come to our attention that Woods Wonder is in fact created, registered, and operated by you and your life partner, Mr. Tyler Woods, alone.

As you know, Princess is a well-regarded member of the Woods family and is a leader(2) among a distinguished generation of young Woods family members(3) that have received high recognition from a number of civic leaders(4), the judiciary, and scores of community members on their physical attractiveness, positive demeanor, and basic motor skills. Indeed, your own posts at Woods Wonder confirm that Princess is a “good big sister” who is “super sweet”(5) and recognize Princess’ contributions to the family and desire to help care for you during your recent medical ordeal(6).

Unfortunately, your most recent attacks, unwarranted actions, and baseless allegations have damaged that reputation and adversely affected Princess’ standing in the community. You have personally posted a series of blog entries and photos that falsely vilify Princess and seek to harm her reputation.

For example, on April 20, 2011, you posted a blog posting entitled “Terribly Two” on Woods Wonder falsely alleging, both explicitly and implicitly, that Princess well-documented sweetness has been replaced by a rage linked only to her 2nd year of age. However, this allegation is false and defamatory.

Your false statements include allegations that Princess:

- “hit the terrible twos early”

- “wham…just like that [Princess] can throw you attitude – you won’t know what hit you”

- “Or for the true coup de grace – the strip down, fall over, go limp, kick and scream tantrum
volcano”

These statements are demonstrably false and misleading and constitute per se defamation in that they falsely portray Princess as something other than delightful.

Despite your insinuation otherwise, Princess is not responsible for an unwarranted tornado of “attitude” that occurs “WHAM…just like that” as your false blog post allege. Any anger exhibited by Princess towards yourself or your life partner was entirely justified by whatever it was that you may have been doing to incur Princess’ wrath.

Your self-serving statements that Princess “can throw you attitude” so fast that “you don’t know what hit you” and your allegation that Princess is liable to “strip down, fall over, go limp, kick and scream tantrum volcano” are both irrelevant and fail as a matter of common sense. As is well known, the speed at which attitude is thrown is completely irrelevant to the justification of said attitude. Moreover, your allegation that Princess is liable to “go limp [and] kick and scream” defies common sense. The laws of physics prevent an individual from being both limp and kicking at the same time.

Indeed, your repeated misrepresentations represent nothing more than a bald attempt to distract attention from whatever misconduct you were engaged in to attract Princess’ “attitude.”

Your attempts to spread these spurious and defamatory statements about Princes have caused serious and irreparable harm to her reputation. We will not stand by and let this misconduct continue.

We hereby demand that you:

1. Immediately remove from your website all defamatory material and disparaging remarks made
about Princess by your or your visitors, and
2. Immediately cease and desist posting any further defamatory material, and
3. Issue a retraction of your false and misleading statements;
4. Immediately apologize to Princess for the distress she has suffered thus far, and
5. Endeavor to never again engage in such misconduct (including but not limited to not giving
Princess something she wants) that would attract Princess’ wrath, and
6. Compensate Princess for attorney fees and costs.

Please note that we do not attempt to restrict legitimate free speech, and we believe that the internet is an important medium for accurate and truthful information (including such information that accurately portrays Princess as adorable and perfect). Your activities, however, unlawfully encroach on Princess’ rights.

This is a very serious matter that requires your immediate attention to address and resolve this situation. This letter represents your one and only chance to resolve this matter amicably. If you chose not to take the demanded actions, we will have no choice but to recommend that Princess pursue all legal causes of action against you.



Very Truly Yours,

Andrew M. Woods
