"For quite a while, conservatives have embraced an annoying strategy -- trawl through liberal comments sections in the hopes of finding intemperate remarks. The right then takes these comments to "prove" that the left is made up of unhinged radicals"

We don't have to trawl through liberal comment sections. Turn on the TV and everyone in the world can see and hear all the Liberal nutcases, including you, Richard Warman.

Here are my thoughts on the subject.

I had the chance to read the F.D. thread. This is another one of these sorry lazy miserable good for nothing preening gasbags who clearly is showing himself to be a very poor sport when it comes to people commenting on and questioning his actions.

If he doens't like what is being said about him why is he choosing to do these things that are resulting in these responses anyway? It seems to me he is just another one of these hotheaded preening gasbags who's simply looking for something to be offended by and trying to shut it down.

What's so upsetting about this is he has ways of influencing the judges up there and getting decisions in his favor. Not only do we really need to pay very close attention to this but also we need to be very careful about the 2008 elections becuase if the wrong people end up in power FR could very well meet the same fate.

This is what happens when you let the mob rule crowd run the country. I hope everybody's taking notes about what's happening up there so we don't let it happen here.

Regards......

Montreal Simon doesn't like FD [ 1 ... 5, 6, 7 ]   --leewgrant: The main reason I can figure out is why it's "piss on FD" week in the leftoid universe is because FD is starting to show some real muscle when it comes to political advocacy. And a lot of that is thanks to the ill-thought-out human rights complaint of Ms Gentes. Boy, did that give FD some media exposure.

12. Repeats the libel of Paul Fromm in calling me a "censor".

I am NOT a censor! To prove it I am going to have you censored!

Is it just me or but doing this does he not prove the criticism true?

He is indeed attempting to use the power of government to shut up people. That is the quintessential definition of a censor.

You've got it.

And the ironic thing about this sledgehammer attempt to intimidate Connie and mark at FD?

Most of the quotes that offended this turkey were from other people at other sites, copied to FD.

The one quote by an actual member he cited as "anti-semitic" was written by FD's only Orthodox Jew!

There's no pleasing the perpetually-offended, I guess.

Backhoe sed:   The one quote by an actual member he cited as "anti-semitic" was written by FD's only Orthodox Jew!

Actually what I said was that he was acting as a "proxy by which the B'nai Brith, the CJC, and the CHRC works through". He is attempting to redefine the word proxy to suggest that I suggested that he's being controlled by those establishments.

Not so. I'm merely suggesting that he's acting as an agent on their behalf, which if I have to, I can prove.

Update:
Richard Warman is continuing his campaign of harrassment and attempted intimidation of Free Dominion. We were served another set of papers from the Censorship Czar moments ago.

As in the first set, Warman is threating to sue unless his demands are met. Connie is retyping it all now and it will appear in a new thread shortly.

Once again, my favorite site in Canada is under attack by Free Speech Nazis:
 
 
The Little Law Jackal is still attacking our sister site- see latest entries:
 
Richard Warman is at it again! More attacks on Free Dominion... [ 1, 2, 3 ]
 
"Richard Warman works for the Canadian government as a "human rights lawyer" and yet seeks to take away the right of free expression for those he targets and the right of the people to choose what they will and will not hear."
 
 "The list looks like something that a cranky child would put out when their feelings are hurt. It is pretty funny that the censorship king is in front of a judge petulantly whining that he has been called the censorship king and that these people should be censored."
 
' If I'm reading this correctly, every single post I've ever made on this website is now an instance of libel against Dick. '
 
"Something Herr Warman should keep in mind:

I don't think he is going to get anywhere with this childish lawsuit aside from wasting more tax dollars and court time. His history has shown that he indeed is shameless in his pursuit of those wastes.

Either way, lets say Warman manages to shut FD down (long long long shot).

That will leave hundreds of posters homeless and moving into the blogosphere. Most of these posters will not be amused with this anti-free-speech crusader.

Clearly Mr. Warman does not like all the bad things people say about him to pop up when he googles himself."
 
The beginning of this sordid tale:
 
 Richard Warman attacks free speech, Free Dominion BREAKING [ 1 ... 32, 33, 34 ]
 
 
 
The original attack on Free Dominion:
 

http://www.freedominion.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=84457
Human Rights attack on Free Dominion

was dismissed when the complaintant realized a fight was coming:

http://www.freedominion.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=85209
Gentes/CHRC withdraw complaint against Free Dominion

My own words and thoughts?

It doesn't matter where you stand- Right, Left, or Center-- everyone should be concerned that this Warman varmint is threatening lawsuits because someone was talking about him and he didn't like what he saw when googling his own name.

If he's going to sue people Right and Left, he's fair game for discussion.

And if he's going to threaten friends of mine, he's going to get a lot of discussion on every forum, blog, and site I belong to.

Enough

Is

Enough

with speech codes, PC, and censorship.

You can't have honest public policy without honest, frank public discourse.

So his widdle feelings are hurt- so what?

He needs to grow up, and quit abusing the legal system for his own petty ends.

My early morning emailing begins to bear fruit...

Thank you, Kathy Shaidle!

Richard Warman sues Free Dominion because commenters called him a "censor", "dictator" and a "member of the thought police"

Free Dominion is under attack again -- by a "human rights lawyer", no less. Look, some of the comments he's suing over are appalling -- "cryptojew"?? -- but is FD responsible for every crazy comment a third party posts on their message boards?

Is anyone besides Warman googling "Richard Warman" all day and coming up with these messages? Won't a suit simply increase the number of such posts?

Mark & Connie have reprinted the entire whatyacallit on the site. Here's the bottom line:

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT you have spoken words and/or written words and/or published words that contain serious allegations against me, clearly stating among other things to the readers of the website www.freedomion.ca in their plain and ordinary meaning or by virtue of the surrounding circumstances wich give the words a defamatory meaning inferentially or by innuendo, that you are questioning my morality, integrity, and professionalism; that I commit disreputable and unconstitutional acts such as the suppression of free speech; that I am controlled by others; that I have committed criminal acts; that I am a sexual deviant, coward, Nazi and comparable to the Nazi SS, fascist, dictator, member of the human rights Gestapo, and akin to Stalinist political officers; that I laugh at individuals with mental illness; that I abuse public funds; that I am a homosexual and that homosexuality is associated with paedophilia; that I pose a greater danger to society than members of the neo-Nazi movement; that I desire to muzzle Canadians; that I am a legal jackal; and, that I have committed treason. You have defamed and libelled me in my skill, judgment, and/or capacity in my profession.

"Laughing at people with mental illness" is a bad thing?

It would be kind of funny if somebody took the "homosexuality/paedophilia" part and turned the trial into a "Scopes" thing. "Pedophilia", no. But...  And I thought being gay was cool. If someone called me gay I wouldn't bother suing.

Interesting post at Free Republic, posted during the last kerfuffle:

"The Canadian Human Rights Commission is out of control. Plain and Simple.

"I am a current victim of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, and have been under going a three year legal battle with them, due to a message board I had on my website (www.freedomsite.org) back in 2003. Not a single word I have written is at issue, but rather messages others posted (that I did not even know about) As part of my vigorous defence, I have challenged the Constitutionality of Section 13 (Internet gag law) and Section 54 (fines) of the Canadian Human Rights Act.

"Here is a few statistics from my case that tells the whole story about the CHRC:

Active and Past cases: 43
Cases the tribunal ruled on: 29

• 0% of respondents have ever won a section 13 case before the tribunal.
• 100% of cases have Whites as respondents
• 98% of cases have poor or working class respondents
• 90.7% of respondents are not represented by lawyers
• So far, $80,500 has been awarded in fines and special compensation since May 9, 2003.
• 72.4% of complaints specifically identify "jews" as victims.
48.8% of all cases (Past and active) are by Richard Warman

That's one guy's information. I'd love to get confirmation of those numbers.

Anyway: people wonder why I don't allow comments on this site. One reason is that comments provide a place for people (myself included) to possibly post the kinds of remarks Warman is suing over. I don't care about Warman's hurt feelings, or the possibility of "getting in trouble." But I'd hate wasting my time and money going to court over some anonymous poster's asinine remarks.

One way concerned Canadians can help FreeDominion is to do the exact opposite of what they're doing now: stop writing stuff about "fecalphilia" or whatever on someone else's website, and getting them in trouble, while you act all outraged -- then go about your business without having to hire a lawyer.

The web is all about "punk rock", over the top, uncontrolled rhetoric, and I hate to think that suits like this will force us to tone it down. But they just might.


backhoe's footnote:

That "cryptojew" word first appeared in a widely quoted article on the web.

So now we can't use words written by others, or comment on them?

A totalitarian is a totalitarian, right, left, or center...

Richard Warman is at it again! More attacks on Free Dominion... [ 1 ... 5, 6, 7 ] --What are "SLAPPs"?

http://www.cippic.ca/index.php?page=defamation-and-slapps/#faq_slapps

"SLAPP" stands for "Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation". SLAPPs are legal actions (usually defamation actions) launched for the primary purpose of shutting down criticism, and without a strong cause of action. The plaintiff's goal in a SLAPP is not to win the lawsuit, but is rather to silence a critic by instilling fear of large legal costs and the spectre of large damage awards. Despite their right to free speech, critics may be frightened into silence B e.g., taking down websites or comments made online - if they are threatened with a defamation-based SLAPP.

SDA covers Richard Warman's assault of Free Dominion, here:

Free Dominion

I won't requote the whole sorry Canadian Human Rights Commission mess. Except for this;


• 0% of respondents have ever won a section 13 case before the tribunal.
• 100% of cases have Whites as respondents
• 98% of cases have poor or working class respondents
• 90.7% of respondents are not represented by lawyers
• So far, $80,500 has been awarded in fines and special compensation since May 9, 2003.
• 72.4% of complaints specifically identify "jews" as victims.
• 48.8% of all cases (Past and active) are by Richard Warman

Just go here for all the sordid details.

Kate, I greatly appreciate your covering this shameful story. Details are here:

-Richard Warman is at it again! More attacks on Free Dominion--

Be aware they use a "paged" format- the link takes you to the start, there are currently nine pages beyond that.

Warman is a Legal Jackal, abusing the law to stalk and harass people and sites he does not like. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his beard...

 UPDATE: someone has set up RichardWarman.com. And it isn't a fan site...
