You know, for a self-professed expert on blogging and all things new media, one would think Warren Kinsella would have learned how to run a quoted line of text through Google by now.
…from the comments – it’s a whole new business enterprise: Vanity death threats!
Wouldn’t want Warren to strain any gray cells might hurts hisself
Oh crap, can he sue now?
Probably me, for depriving him of the opportunity to bask in his own importance…
“Probably me, for depriving him of the opportunity to bask in his own importance…”
lol. Nice one Kate!
Has anyone asked Warren whether or not fire can melt steel…?

I’m sure Warren thought it’s just from some lunatic conservative who’s frightened by his close friendship with Justin Trudeau.
I think this might be a real threat.
Remember, warren is a ferocious punk who struts the stage in a fit of fury which threatens the underpinnings of western civilization.
That type of attitude is bound to arouse fear. Or laughter.
Arf, arf.
Is Joe Volpe running for something again?
He’s crestfallen I’m sure!
Heh, whole new business enterprise: Vanity death threats! VDT Inc.
Kinsella and Garth Turner: me me me me me!!!!
ah heck, internet death threats are over rated. Most of them are from 10 year olds that can’t spell let alone load a gun!
isn’t Cherniak their new media expert and Warn-out their libel chill go to guy ?
Come now, the tone of Mr. Kinsella’s post made it quite obvious he wasn’t taking the email too seriously.
And the TONE of this post is quite clearly that we do not take Kinsella seriously!
I have more bad news for Mr. Kinsella – I have no idea who he is or why anyone should care enough to send him a death threat. I guess his fame doesn’t extend too far south of the Great Lakes.
Mocking Warren is the best thing we can do for Canadian democracy. He is a parasite and a litigious fool. The more he writes, the more people see what a moron (a fine old Liberal word) he is.
a little lesson for Wornout Kinsella on the merits of SPAM, rather than his spam.

Hey, they don’t call him Morron Kinsella for nuttin.
Sounds very similar to the writings on the Nigerian investment letter I got last week.
Invest or we will kill you.
I wonder if Morron has ever heard of spam?
It must be from the family of the racoons in his garage that he “offed” a couple of summers ago.
lol.
“I wonder if Morron has ever heard of spam?”
Of course he has, he’s a worldly kinda a guy, spam + bread + mustard = samwich, he nibbles on them all the time, no crust please.
I love how he talks about himself in the third person.
I think he confuses “punk” with “twerp”.
Hey, I am new to Warren Kinsella, but what if this is serious? What if someone did hire this guy to kill him? What then? I mean, you may have actually say something nice about the guy, him being dead and all. What would be worse, Warren Kinsella in the here and now for your fun and amusement or you having to say something pleasant about him while he is giving an account of his life to the Divine?
You people just are not thinking this thing through.
Hey Dave….Send me some money, preferably a 1/s ton load of new $100’s, and I won’t call you a twit! You should try Lloyd’s “spamwhich”. More sense than you. Or did you lose all your money to that Nigerian Queen??
Dave: I doubt Warren will be anywhere near the Divine during his post-mortem phase.
WK believes in punks but not the new media. How about punk crime ? Hockey stick graph ? Red hot steel ? Priests and aboriginal childerin ? Carbon credits ?
Kate, (and everyone else)
Rejoicing because a blogger you don’t agree with got a death threat is a little boorish isn’t it? Sure you may think that it’s not serious but…
I can only imagine the stink in this room if someone like yourself or the Steves (Janke and Taylor) got a death threat for writing about a political ideology they believe in.
Maybe we should look at the mean spirited hate that’s been spewed here and ask ourselves where we went off track. Blogging is the expression of ideas and b ll sh t and this blog has (hopefully temporarily) crossed over from ideas.
Aren’t you worried about getting a reputation like that green idiot who “pumped his fist in the air”? How healthy is it for democracy to have an intimidated press? You know you’re smarter then he is… no wonder you figured it out, but don’t celebrate it… this forum cheapens this blog right now.
[deleted. That crossed the line. ED]
Davie,
I think you’re missing the point.
Douh!
Maybe someone should tell him,..He’s just reported that he also won the Publishers Clearing House million dollar first prize.

I’d hate to see what he spends each month on penis enlargement….
Neocon (if that is your real name),
Don’t worry, I’m aware of the issue. I know it was just spam, I’m not as dense as Kinsella, nor I write just to be self satisfied, that’s for both of you. I was just hoping that this forum wouldn’t turn into something ugly, and discredit one of the better blogs online.
Kate,
No penis enlargements, but I do botox the hell out of my balls… they’re so shiny!
Jon
That is a truely noble goal…the betterment of the online blogosphere. But what about the poor souls in the offline blogosphere? Who shall champion the cause of civility for the unconnected?
I really think you’ve missed your calling. Offline arbiter of couth or botox model for the trendy sac set. You decide.

Mocking Warren is the best thing we can do for Canadian democracy. He is a parasite and a litigious fool.
He’s also perhaps the biggest hypocrite and poseur in Canada. I mean, here’s a guy who considers himself to be in line with punk and punk ideals who has no problem with selectively defending the rich, venal, and corrupt (Chretien, anyone?), and who sees fit to mock the religious convictions of fundamentalist Xians while comparing those who defended the Danish Cartoonists – whose work was legitimate political comment – as the equivalent of Nazi goons (in a comment even he seemed to realise was OTT and removed from his site).
Here’s a list of Kinsella’s lobbying clients:
http://lobbyist.oico.on.ca/Integrity/RegistrationGeneral.nsf/PublicFramesWeb?OpenPage
His hypocrisy is also demonstrated in that he lives in a pretty ritzy area of Toronto (the Beach), but wants it known that he’d never live in a gated community.
Except for the fact that the community in which he does live is so expensive (some places are advertised at over a million bucks) it is a de facto gated community anyway. The only, er, vizmins who might be able to buy there would be pro athletes anyway…
quiet up kids!! Kinsella gets far too much attention for a has been hack already…he’s a publicity vampire …don’t give him blood.
the name of his band says it all about Warren.must have taken some serious time and thought to come up with ”shit from hell”
I used to call it worn-out-cant-sell-it but I like moron-cant-sell-it better.
Re: Kinsella’s post today.
Is Hubert Chretien the son that got busted for a violent rape a few years back?
