holding that “absent additional contacts, mere effects in the forum state are insufficient to confer personal jurisdiction”
holding that Colorado defendant who posted an allegedly defamatory statement online about the Missouri plaintiff’s business “does not create the type of substantial connection between [the defendant] and Missouri necessary to confer specific personal jurisdiction”
