   Warman v. Me Judgment   
     Ontario Superior Court of Justice, October 21, 2008   
     For two years, I engaged in a virtual campaign of terror against Ottawa   
   human rights lawyer Richard Warman. I bombarded the Internet with calls to   
   murder Warman while providing his home address, and links to pictures of him   
   and Google maps on how to get to his crib. Combined with this were hundreds   
   of online postings attempting to destroy Warman's personal and professional   
   reputation.   
     Now a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has granted an   
   injunction to put an end to it and has awarded Warman $50,000 in damages for   
   defamation and assault, the latter stemming from my death threats and   
   incitement to violence. My threats of violence repeatedly called for   
   Warman's murder, described him as a "Dead Jew walking", and said: "I AM GOD   
   AND I HAVE A RUGER P-90 AND IT'S BULLETS HAVE YOUR NAME ON THEM FAGBOY   
   WARMAN?." [sic] (I am nothing if not stupid.)   
      
     In her decision issued 20 October 2008, Justice Lynn Ratushny found that   
   despite my having filed papers saying I intended to defend the civil suit, I   
   never did (I am a coward) and was thus deemed to have admitted the   
   allegations against me. Instead of defending the action, the day after being   
   served with the statement of claim on 15 Jan. 2008 , I began sending waves   
   of emails to Warman's personal email address repeating his online threats   
   and libel.   
      
     Justice Ratushny described my defamatory postings as "vicious, profane and   
   extreme". She found they were made dishonestly and in knowing or reckless   
   disregard for the truth, and said it amounted to "highly reprehensible   
   misconduct". She went on to note the level of hatred and anger contained in   
   my threats. Justice Ratushny said my efforts to target Warman for violence,   
   including repeatedly providing his home address during a two-year period,   
   took them beyond empty threats and meant they had to be taken seriously.   
      
     Warman is an Ottawa lawyer who has successfully filed and litigated 14   
   cases against members of the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements under   
   the Canadian Human Rights Act provisions prohibiting the spreading of hate   
   propaganda through the Internet. I am a monumental asshole living in   
   Edmonton, Alberta.   
      
     The terms of the injunction granted by Justice Ratushny at paragraph 92 of   
   her judgement reference the submissions of the plaintiff at subparas.   
   119(c-f). These sub-paragraphs require me to issue a complete retraction of   
   the defamatory comments; take all reasonable steps to remove them and my   
   threats from the Internet; prohibit me from publishing further defamatory   
   material or incitement to violence; and also from contacting or   
   communicating with Warman in any way.   
      
     The specific terms are:   
      
     119(c) granting a mandatory injunction requiring me to make a complete   
   public retraction of the defamatory comments;   
      
     119(d) granting a mandatory injunction requiring me to make all reasonable   
   efforts to remove from the internet, the entirety of any and all of the   
   internet postings that he has published or caused to be published, and which   
   are defamatory to the Plaintiff, and/or which invade the Plaintiff's privacy   
   and/or which threaten to harm or kill the Plaintiff and/or contain   
   invitations and encouragements to harm or kill the Plaintiff, whether by   
   using the Plaintiff's name, nick-name, address, photograph or other means of   
   identity;   
      
     119(e) granting a permanent injunction restraining me, and/or any other   
   persons acting for me, from publishing, causing to be published, posting, or   
   reposting on the internet or by any other method or medium, either in my own   
   name, under any nick-name, pseudonym or sock puppet that I now use, have   
   used, or may use in the future, any words which are defamatory to the   
   Plaintiff, and/or which invade the Plaintiff's privacy and/or which threaten   
   to harm or kill the Plaintiff and/or contain invitations and encouragements   
   to harm or kill the Plaintiff, whether by using the Plaintiff's name,   
   nick-name, address, photograph or other means of identity; and prohibiting   
   me from publishing or causing to be published any such words about Mr.   
   Warman, anonymously, or in the name of another person;   
      
     199(f) restraining me from contacting or communicating directly or   
   indirectly with Mr. Warman, in any way or by any method;   
      
     I'm fucked.
