The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Notes for a summer's eve

To quote Rachel Lucas:

I just want to say that Richard Warman is a giant douchebag who is simply itching for a butthurtin'.

Fond as I am of Ms Lucas, she may not be 100 percent accurate in this instance. I went so far as to check the lesser-known facts about Mr Warman, and nowhere therein is it suggested that he is substantially above average in height.

Although this tidbit perhaps seems relevant:

[L]et's just say that if he had a blog it would be named "3 Inches of Fury."

So maybe a little editing is called for in this instance. "Overbearing"? Certainly. "Self-aggrandizing"? No doubt about it. "Enemy of free speech"? Demonstrably so. But "giant"? Maybe not so much.

I'm glad you made the distinction. "3 Inches of Fury." Snork!

I do not know how tall an actual bag o' douche would stand.

In all seriousness Mo, this IS a big and dangerous deal in Canada; and if Warman wins his suit, then all American bloggers are also then in danger. Free speech is at risk here.
