Time Immortal

So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:

In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here.

That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.

Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.

Now, the Reader will know that I don’t tend to post to the blog on Sundays (or, as a general rule, on weekends period), but this was important.

Richard Warman is a former employee of the Canadian Human Rights Commission. He is also currently using it as his own personal inquisition/bank account — nearly half of all complaints brought before the commission have been filed by Richard Warman. It seems that nothing fails to offend Richard Warman.

And also, as it turns out, Richard Warman acts like a racist. FreeDominion, ironically facing a Warman complaint at the HRC themselves, has the evidence. Assuming that their confidence in their evidence is justified, it is alleged that Richard Warman wrote:

“Not only is Canadian Senator Anne Cools is a Negro, she is also an immigrant!
And she is also one helluva preachy c*nt.
She does NOT belong in my Canada. My Anglo-Germanic people were here before
there was a Canada and her kind have jumped in, polluted our race, and forced
their bullshit down our throats.
Time to go back to when the women nigger imports knew their place…
And that place was NOT in public!

Unfortunately for Richard Warman, there are ways to detect information about forum users and comment posters, information that can be used to more or less conclusively identify the person making the offensive statement. Oh, there are ways to spoof these detection schemes as well…but it would appear that Richard Warman is not technically savvy enough to know about those.

Kathy responds to this discovery with the perfect suggestion — make this information go viral:

Guess that’s what happens with a Drama queen foolishly takes on an accused anti-semitic computer techie, eh — don’t tug on “Ubermensch’s” cape next time, Richie boy.

Be sure to read the whole thing, and, please tell your MP what you think of this use of your tax dollars — funding employees and ex-employees of the HRC in these dubious “undercover” activities.

Another suggestion: that everyone who reads this and has their own blog post a link to the original post at FreeDominion, and use the words “Richard Warman” as often as possible in your post.

Use tags. Use Digg etc.

That way, when self-googler Richard Warman (or someone else, say a potential future employer) googles “Richard Warman,” the chances that this unflattering information about Richard Warman will show up near the top of the results will be greatly increased.

Take this and run with it, O Reader. Richard Warman is a bully and a censor, and a threat to the legitimate right to that every Canadian enjoys. With the above information, we can shut the man down. So pass it on.

Update: Welcome, Steynians!

Update II - The Update Strikes Back: Let’s be clear on something here, O Reader. Essentially, what posts like this help to indicate is that Richard Warman (and possibly others like him) is creating online aliases for himself at websites with which he disagrees, or which he finds offensive. Using those aliases, Richard Warman is posting arguably racist, arguably offensive statements. He is then filing complaints against the operators of those sites for the racist or offensive content that he himself has left. And in each instance where he does this, he is being rewarded by the CHRC with thousands of dollars in settlements.

It’s really the online equivalent of cops gunning down a kid and then planting a piece on him, and then charging the kid’s family for the ammunition used. A combination, if you will, of a digital “drop piece” and the finest bureaucratic methods of Red China. And it’s illegal, kids. Highly illegal, not to mention fraudulent.

Jay Currie weighs in:

Three observations: first, this is profoundly corrupt. Fake posts written by a serial complainant who then complains about the fake post should be enough to prompt a full scale, judicial, inquiry into the CHRC. How many other bigot-bots has Richard Warman fired into forums and comment sections and then complained about. At a minimum every one of Richard Warman’s complaints to the CHRC - and he has won all of them - should be re-investigated for fraud.

Part of that judicial inquiry should focus on how complicit the CHRC or its staff have been in this Richard Warman fraud and any others which may have occurred.

Second, Richard Warman is a lawyer. As such he is not supposed to be defrauding quasi-judicial bodies such as the CHRC. As this story gains traction it will be interesting to see if, for example, the proprietors of Free Dominion, ask the Benchers of the Law Society of Upper Canada to investigate.

Third, the losing parties in Richard Warman CHRC complaints would be well advised to seek legal advice as to the possibility of re-opening their complaint and/or looking to real courts for damages against Richard Warman and the CHRC.

This is the sort of thing that could sink the CHRC. No, let me correct that statement: this is the sort of thing that should (must?) sink the CHRC.

Update III - Return of the Update: Kathy apologizes for her haste, and in hindsight I apologize for mine as well. Proper decorum would demand that the above all be treated as allegation instead of confirmed fact, and in my haste I too forgot myself. I apologize, and have modified the text above to reflect the nature of due process and presumed innocence, legal principles which Canadians ostensibly value (at least in forums outside of human rights inquisitions).
