Reader Mail: You’re gonna be famous

tagged , , , , , and

BCF informs me that apparently I am beginning to make a tiny little name for myself in the wider and the political scene in .

A very tiny little name, in fact.

you’re gonna be famous, SCROLL THROUGH THE DOCUMENT YOUR SITE IS LISTED

http://ezralevant.com/Vigna%20fax%20July%2018.pdf

It is true that a link to is listed in a legal notice recently sent to full details can be found here. I don’t read French, and so can’t quite understand the context of the appearance of the hyperlink within the document — http://www.timeimmortal.net/tag/giacomo-vigna/ — but I would suspect it is being cited as evidence of the “damages” that Mr. Levant’s various commentaries on a certain (a lawyer for the ) have done.

(I should note that the link above will lead the reader to this article here at the site, in which I quote Mr. Levant’s suspicions that several goons who were for a while harassing his parents may have been sent there to investigate by Mr. Vigna.)

What an odd form it takes, this act of moving up in the world.

Or, as BCF worded it to me in a follow-on message: “…you are not being sued, your site is just listed as working in concert with Ezra and his Neo Nazi cohorts in a plot to defame Vigna.”

Which is certainly good company to keep, I suppose.

Apparently, the has been sending private investigators to the house of ’s parents, who demand to speak with Ezra himself. At his parents‘ house.

The good Reader is hopefully aware that Ezra Levant, being a grown man, has moved out of his parents’ house — as he himself notes, he lived there when he was a teenager, but that was in the 1990s. Ezra’s own speculation is that this is the handiwork of Canadian Human Rights Commission lawyer , whom he has taken to task on several occasions over comments the latter made about not being willing to testify at a hearing because he was “not in a serene state of mind.”

It’s probably just petty harassment, and a case of a government employee abusing government resources in pursuit of a personal vendetta. But I wonder if it also doesn’t tell us something else? After all, why would anyone assume that a grown man and professional lawyer would still live at home…unless the person sending out the goons still lives in his parents’ basement, perhaps?
