FWIW, I just emailed Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit and Steve J. at Angry in the Great White North with links and synopsis.
Kate at Small Dead Animals is already covering it.

Human Rights attack on Free Dominion
It has been brought to our attention that it is becoming difficult to follow new developments on the original thread due to its length. Several members have suggested we start a locked thread for updates on this battle and this seems to be a good solution.
We will add to this timeline as often as we gain new information.
Timeline
July 18, 2007
- 6:00pm Picked up mail and found a letter from the Canadian Human Rights Commission dated July 16, 2007. This letter informed us Connie and Free Dominion were named in human rights complaint filed by a Ms.Gentes. There were no other details. The letter said Connie had until July 18, 2007 to reply in full to this complaint.
- 6:30pm Connie did a tracking search of the letter and learned it had been mailed from Ottawa the afternoon of July 17, 2007, about 30 hours before it got into our hands.
- 9:30pm We notified the public of this action against Free Dominion by starting a thread in the forum.
- 10:00pm We contact Free Dominions lawyer.
July 19, 2007
- 9:00am Connie starts calling the CHRC. After a couple of hours she finally gets a live person who gives her another number to call. Eventually she makes real time contact with John Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain tells Connie the first name of Ms. Gentes is Mary Lynn, but we are still uncertain of the spelling. He declines to give Connie any further information about the actual charge or accusation.
- 2:00pm Connie gives contact information to the CHRC for Free Dominions lawyer to receive a copy of the complaint.
This is where we stand at the moment. We should have an update tonight or tomorrow and it will appear first on this thread. It would be handy if someone reproduces updates we post here on the discussion thread, that way the discussion and strategizing can continue there.
Thank you to all for your support. It is easy for us to have courage with an army of principled conservatives at our backs.
