Sorry Ron I just wanted to set the record straight, just in case anybody was wondering why I wasn't talking about you-know-who and you-know-what. This subject will not be brought up by me again.

Sorry Ron I just wanted to set the record straight, just in case anybody was wondering why I wasn't talking about you-know-who and you-know-what. This subject will not be brought up by me again.
I wasn't broken, just misaligned it seems. I got the privilege of reading
through a couple of two year old Chatelaine (?) magazines while I waited
to be realigned though....next time I'm taking a book. :lol::lol::lol:
As a life lesson to my being misaligned though, I've learned that if you
fall asleep in the bathtub, not only can you make a mess out of your
neck, but your paperback novel will look like a rolodex once it dries. 8O
Well now it sounds like I'm some creepy stalker! I didn't know you were anywhere near actually broken, just that you'd disappeared all of a sudden. lol.
Johnny, Karrie...
Good luck with that. I dished out over 2000 dollars as Karrie may remember from conversations past. For just such an incident. A member at a forum I was a Mod at, took exception to being punished by moi. Being the chatty type, and proud of the brand spankin' new business venture I had created, I bragged endlessly about it and my contracts with the GTAA and ThyssenKrupp.
This childish shyte, called around until he found someone at the GTAA that knew who I was and my company name and proceeded to tell all sorts of tales of my supposed criminal activities at Pearson Int Airport. To the point that my security clearance was revoked and my contracts suspended. I had to hire a lawyer and jump through hoops to get my clearance back and get my contracts reinstated. It was eventually proven that I was in no way acting in any way criminal. The Police were informed by not only my lawyer, but the authorities at the GTAA and ThyssenKrupp. The individual was found and quess what he was charged with?
Nothing...not a damn thing. Not even mischief. Whe I queried my lawyer about suing the man, I was told to cough up some pretty big bucks, before he would even put pen to to paper. His advice, move on. It wasn't worth the time and aggrivation.
If SJP would STFU, he wouldn't be endlessly abused Cliffy.
Oh, really? I must have read the wrong criminal code. See, mine states that "Any published matter designed to insult the person" fits the bill.
Canada really likes to censor people; now you too know this.
Oh, but I hear, "It's only a forum," to which I laugh again at Jake Brahm and his "dirty" post.
The typical citizen's knowledge of our libel laws is incorrigibly bad. For instance, some seem to be under the illusion that truth is an absolute defense.
And any first year Law student would have a field day with...
;-)
One thing some people who think they know the law should brush up on is, the law is not an absolute.
Of what?
That the laws in this country are subverted ad nauseum?
That the CCoC is without a doubt a wet sponge?
That Judges bend the law on a whim?
That even Police are apprehensive about applying the strict letter of the Law?
That even if you found a Lawyer willing to file a criminal charge for you with a Justice of the Peace, the he is most likely to tell you to suck it up?
Been there done that, got the t shirts.
Here's one for you Nif, how about I call you a nasty name, and you call your local Police and see what they say.
I could care less if such a suit is actually prosecutable. It reads like a thinly veiled threat to the mods and admin of the forum. I'd toss the person who made it if I were them. That person has proven themselves a liability. They didn't bother to raise their voice when someone was implying that Bear isn't native, a much more serious offense in the eyes of the law as it could be called racism. No, they raise it in 'concern' only when it's something they want addressed for themselves. Give me a break. It's a threat if I've ever heard one. Toss the litigious party.
Objection. Calls for a conclusion your Honour.
Objection. Irrelevant your honour.
:lol:
I know what they would say. That is why if I cared I wouldn't deal with them. Law enforcers are not litigators.
Actually Cannuck, his comments could be deemed defamatory. As it sights without excuse or justification an act contrary to the norm.
Whereas calling someone a name, is not an indictable offense. It's not even a summary offense or even something the Police would raise an eyebrow over. In fact, if one where to pursue a legal course of much of what is said here, you would be layghed out of, if not scolded out of the JP's office, or the Police station.
Some people need to grow up and grow some skin. Especially when they start picking fights with the wrong people.
I figure if you're willing to pay the price, some lawyer will be only too happy to take your money....
No really?
But they are the first line in the criminal process. And seeing as you posted sections of the CCoC, that is where the process you are referring to would start...
If they refuse to act, your next step is to present before a Justice of the Peace. Usually a retired Judge or new Judge.
Good luck getting any sympathy for having been called a name on the internet. ;-)
And if you think spending thousands of dollars on hiring a lawyer to file something you could file and be told to bugger off in one afternoon, is more your bag. Then more power to ya. But if you really want to waste your money, just send it to me...;-)
People here seem to be conflating winning a suit with the grounds to start one and the grounds to start one with the ability to do so.
