Heh. Indeed.
OH, THE POTENTIAL HILARITY, given this:
Richard Warman, the ex-Human Rights Commission employee who uses the Commission as his own personal s&m dungeon/ casino, looks like a piece of toast right about now. With butter and raspberry jam.
Here's what Richard Warman wrote at one website (and FreeDominion has the ISP addresses to prove it): ...

Yes, one can just sit back and envision the welcome home festivities as KKKate walks back in after a few days on the road:
"Hey, Kathy, I'm back, did I miss anything? I'm sorry ... you did what? You wrote what? And we're being sued by Richard Warman for libel? What the fuck, you stupid cunt!! I leave you alone for a few days, and I get sued for it!?!? Jesus Christ, Kathy, what kind of retard are you!? Go libel people and get sued for it on your own shithole of a blog, and leave me out of your pathological delusions!! Holy shit, but you're a moron!!"
Or something like that.
BY THE WAY, let's be clear on one critical point here -- this entire slapfest is based on Richard Warman being accused of being the author of an offensive post that he apparently, under oath, denies making, at which point Warman's defenders are clearly taking him at his word and rallying to his defense. But that means that Warman better not have written that post because, if it turns out he did, there will be hell to pay, and there's a precedent for that.
Recall, if you will, how Bill Clinton initially denied having "sexual relations" with "that woman," and how his friends leaped to defend him. And how betrayed those friends felt when it turned out to be true after all. Those friends went to bat for Bill and, in return, he hung them out to dry.
I have absolutely no reason to think Warman isn't telling the truth, and the fact that he swore under oath about this issue leads one to at least give him the benefit of the doubt. But if it turns out that he lied, trust me, I'll be the first one to show up at the public square with a pail of tar and a sack of feathers with Warman's name on it.
So while we're all snickering gleefully over the shitload of trouble some people might have gotten themselves into over this, let's not go too far out on that branch while other people have a saw close at hand, hmmmmmmm?
I'm just sayin'.

The notion of Shaidle getting sued for hypocritically pursing her lips at the kind of quote she gleefully writes herself every day - and MEANS - is delicious.
The games have begun, kids. More popcorn?
I want to know more about this evidence FD and FFoF claim to have.
I take your point, CC. In fact, I was hanging back, until WK reported that the CJC did its own investigation and placed its faith in Warman. The CJC wouldn't stick its neck out that far unless they were pretty sure of themselves.
But now we watch. Since I haven't seen this movie before, I have no idea how it's going to turn out.
Could I have a little more butter on my popcorn, please? Ah, that's better.
You might be in danger of your bucket of popcorn with its dollops of extra butter-like topping getting a bit soggy there Dawg whilst awaiting some further illumination from these characters about the veracity of the "evidence" supporting their claims. I suspect they'll be quickly turning to other matters, having swept this nasty bit of business under the rug. Or so they'd like to think...
Apparently Free Dominion is hanging in there. I love a plot with lots of twists and turns, don't you?
I'm not a huge fan of Schadenfreude, although I'll indulge in it from time to time.
The reason I get so exercised over this community of haters is that, all too often, they proceed from ugly uninformed opinion, to accusations of guilt by association, to outright smearing to lies to fabrication of evidence, at which point morality and decency are abandoned (and which, of course is a criminal act).
It's the web of associations and shared mythology based on no real truth that I despise and it never ceases to amaze me how they all become part of it so uncritically.
It's even more irritating that, despite grandiose proclamations about unassailable allegiance to principle and virtue, they start whining and moaning and holding a pity party at the first sign of trouble.
Those are the haters, and they'll never change. I just wish they wouldn't conduct so many winged-monkey breeding experiments which then forces the rest of us to deal with their misery.
By their humourlessness, ye shall know them.
Their supposed evidence as it related to IP addresses they claim to have doesn't mean much after you read Mike's explanation of IP addresses and how they work. If that's all FD has, count me skeptical after Mike's explanation that it will get them clear of any libel charges.
"I'm not a huge fan of Schadenfreude"
how do you feel about scant pity?
