$43,500 Isn't Enough For A Professional Complainer

After sending three or four threatening letters to Free Dominion and then scrupulously digging out all the strongly-worded comments on his activities (which he views as libel and defamation), Richard Warman has filed his law suit against Free Dominion to the Ontario superior court of justice. He wants a total of $150,000 in compensation, but he's ready to agree on a $10,000 out of court settlement.

Richard Warman has already made $43,500, using his legal skills to haul people too poor to mount a legal defense in front of an "above-the-law" tribunal where the usual rules of evidence (including the presumption of innocence until proven guilty) don't apply. This time however his attempt to launch a "human rights" complaint (with the help of Ms. Gentes) didn't last, so the case is going to be reviewed in the court of law. And, unlike Warman's other victims, FD users are ready to pitch in for Connie and Mark's legal defense. Nobody is willing to reward Warman with yet another $10,000 (let alone $150,000) for his continuous efforts to make Canada's Internet look more like China.
