    I agree that anonymous dissent is part of a well functioning democracy. But those who employ such tactics absolutely must do so with the full realization that others are entirely within their rights to find out who they are and out them. That is the risk you take when you publish anonymously, and any thinking person knows that.
    Besides, I hardly call what Canadian Cynic was (is) doing “avoiding the wrath of the powers that be”. Is Richard Evans one of the “powers that be?”
    What if the “powers that be” that the anonymous blogger is avoiding are the criminal or civil courts?
    Anyway, I have far more respect for the Kate’s, Ezra’s, and Steyn’s of our time than I do for all the anonymous cynics and yapping dawgs out there who take cheap shots and hide behind anonymity.

  2. Every blogger is into it voluntarily. If there is someone else who posts garbage about you – tough luck. I feel that you, Richard Evans, made it harder for people to express their views on the internet for fear of being outed by the douchebags like you. What you did is below the belt, immature, coward and outright disgusting.

  3. His site should be fully downloaded by now.
    As for the debate about posting his personal info, I’d post the combination to the lock on his front door if I had it.
    He can count himself fortunate if the least that happens to him is a big, ugly libel suit.

  4. So Aaron: Is turnabout not fair play, or do you have similar criticisms for the cynic’s publishing of Mr. Evan’s address etc.
    and I quote the cowardly cynic:
    “So far, we know (from totally public information available online) Dick’s family situation, and even his home address and phone number (107 Beddington Cr NE, Calgary). So what are we going to do with that? I’m glad you asked.
    Based on that information, it shouldn’t be hard to figure out where his children go to school (again, most likely public information based on residence). And from that, it should be relatively easy to get a list of relevant local teachers and school board members (again, openly public information). And once that’s in hand, it should be a piece of cake to make sure all of those responsible individuals are educated as to Dick’s disturbing predilection for online child rape and promotion of child sex.”

  5. Karl:
    I agree that Day is not using anonymity to avoid “the wrath of the powers that be.” More likely he’s using it because it let him be an unmitigated jerk without damaging his business. Nor is outing him a crime. In fact, I’m surprized it took people this long.
    But I would have let him remain anonymous because I value the freedom of anonymous speech more than I value the (infantile but understandable) satisfaction of exposing one idiot.

  7. Anyone considered how many heads on our side might roll in retaliation outings? Me thinks that we stand to loose more than the leftards – at the moment they are in favour with the bad boys with IEDs.

  8. A while ago, I was harrassed online by “brave” anonymous people (I knew who they were, actually, but they hid their identities, though not very well). The only way I could stop it was to reveal private messages sent to me in order to prove “anonymous” were liars.
    I loathe airing dirty laundry in public and I wouldn’t like it if someone blabbed about me. People use online handles so they are not hassled. Fair enough. However, when they use their anonymity for the purposes of libel, harrassment or other malicious campaigns, it’s fair to say that what comes around will go around.
    No one should lose sleep over Mr. Day.

  9. Kate:
    There is no “right of anonymous speech” in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, nor should there be. I do not equate it with freedom of speech. And if someone defamed me, as Evans may have been defamed, then I would have no hesitation exposing them to deliver legal papers.
    Even so, anonymous speech is an important force against tyranny and some respect is due. Even in this case.
    By the way, I notice that Day has removed his picture of Brian the dog on his website. With his loss of anonymity, is he now worried about trademark violation?

  12. I feel that you, Richard Evans, made it harder for people to express their views on the internet for fear of being outed by the douchebags like you. What you did is below the belt, immature, coward and outright disgusting.
    Yeah, well, all I can say to that is that I hope one day you’ll take off the panties (they seem to be chaffing) and put on some big boy pants.
    Whether you like it or not, you own your words…

  13. Anonymity is important in a free society only for those who need protection from harm, be it because of their race, personal views, religion, etc. That’s why we have secret ballots. (strange, that many unions don’t favour secret ballots)
    Anonymity on the internet is a privilege enjoyed by millions who neither abuse it, nor need it.
    Anonymity when used to slander and libel and harass with impunity creates victims who don’t have recourse. It is a crime in Canada, by the way, to victimize another person on the internet.
    Mr. Day uses his anonymity for the latter. Were he a 14 year old attacking peers in the way he attacks others now, he’d be termed a bully and in fact, Canadian police would/could become involved, not to mention the school system. In essence, Mr. Day is just an adult child with the social IQ of a 14 year old.

  14. After reading his site for a few minutes, and taking the required shower from the filth, one wonders if this man is either schizophrenic or perhaps a cross dresser.
    Anybody who acts and talks that way in real life would be an outcast. He must hide it in real life, and lead a double life on the internet.

  16. one day you’ll take off the panties
    This reply gives away the calibre of person I am dealing with: “I am right because I believe so”. Something along those lines was recently told to Merlin Kinrade in Caledonia. It was an OPP cop in command of the line blocking access to DCE for the non-native protestors.

    Why is it that it’s always different with your type?”
    Silly question to ask a troll I know, but did you -read- that little bit Kate posted there at 1:58 pm? CC posted her address with an invitation to terrorists to have a go at her.
    Richard Evans had his name and address posted with an invitation for people to have a go at his kids.
    I’ve seen Kathy Shaidle’s name and exact location at a certain time posted in similar fashion (by another different pig who shall remain nameless because I don’t have a screen shot), with the suggestion that people have a go at her.
    See, this is where it gets different. Rat, me, we post opinions. Some people don’t agree with my opinion, they tell me so, we have fun thrashing it out or flinging poo or whatever.
    CC and company attempt to arrange hits on people they hate, because they hate ’em. That’s not name calling and trolling, that’s an attempt at physical damage to another person.
    That their efforts have so far failed doesn’t alter what they are trying to do.
    So now, if Mr. Robert Day posts my name and address with an invitation for fellow Leftists, terrorists or whomever to come and assault me, I’ll know where to send the cops.
    Plus, in an age where every single solitary transaction you do by phone, credit/debit, internet, toll booth and whatever else is cached, backed up forever and 100% search-able, plus Carnivore, plus google, plus God only knows what else is out there sniffing around, any dreams you may have of anonymity are just that. Dreams. You can remain anonymous from me, a private citizen, if you are a little clever about IP addresses and etc. But Big Brother is definitely watching your every twitch. Which was my point at 12:33. Which you seen to have missed.
    That’s why its different, monkey boy. Difference between sh1te and shineola.

  18. Aaron, with all due respect, you’re nothing more than a deluded concern troll. Right off the bat you call me a douchebag and then expect a civil response? Seriously? Then you say that I’ve hit below the belt, am immature and disgusting? Again, you expect a civil response after that? And you call me a coward? I’m not the one posting under a pseudonym princess! My name is RICHARD EVANS! I blog and comment under that name. I’m a political candidate and a business owner under that name. I’m a husband and father under that name. My address and phone number are freely available to anyone who looks. One of us is a coward you little pecksniff, and it aint me.
    Come back when you grow a pair.

  20. CWTF: “Why is it that it’s always different with your type?”
    Because of your type.

  21. Aaron, here’s a sincere (i.e. entirely non-rhetorical) hypothetical question — I’m curious to find out what your actual position is:
    In a case where X, a pseudonymous, hidden writer, identifies Y by name and location, posts a death threat directed at Y, and asks people to hunt down where Y’s children go to school, do you believe it would be wrong to publish the real identity of X?
    Thank-you in advance for your answer.

    Rabbit (and others who think Evans did something questionable),
    What you are all missing is responsibility. Day wanted all the benefits of an anonymous profile but did not exhibit the responsible behavior necessary for anyone to respect his anonymity. Instead of engaging in civil discourse with others or coherently expressing his thoughts and opinions, he hid behind his nom de plume and viciously attacked and vilified those he disagreed with.
    Wanting all the advantages and benefits afforded by our various rights and privileges without accepting the responsibilities that go along with them is an all to common affliction of those on the left/liberal/socialist end of the spectrum.

  23. CC doesn’t debate or blog, from my perspective he trolls conservative female blogs and the precedes to hurl bigoted, hateful, degrading remarks at them. Keep in mind he’s not rebutting something they’ve said about him he attacks without just cause or provacation.
    Verbal abuse is becoming a real problem for women on the net, there is a growing number of men who troll the net looking to find women to hurl hate at. These men are not normal, in fact there is a name for men who use the net to attack women it’s called a predator. Their behavior needs to be dealt with not smiggered at like many males on the left do.

  24. “No kidding, Rick. CC would be far more dinified if he talked about how gas sniffing, First Nation fathers liked to boink their daughters. Yeah! SDA for the sophisticated stuff!”
    Link.
    Please.
    You have 4…3…2…

  25. CC doesn’t debate or blog,
    Wow, I guess his blog is just a figment of your imagination.

  26. EBD, elaborate on your query. Is Y anonymous at the moment of those events? And why can’t Y go to the authorities if there is a death threat?

  29. SDH:
    So the privilege of anonymous blogging now only goes to those who are responsible? And who is to judge who is responsible? Shall we set up a tripartisan committee to decide?
    On this I agree with you – Day certainly did not do what it takes to make people respect him. Indeed he does everything in his power to make people loathe him. It’s a form of manipulation – a way of getting people to dance on the end of a string. Day probably didn’t want to be outed (it could cost him business) but he’s probably delighted at the reaction to it.
    Day likes to kick ant nests. He uses the hard-C word and everyone scurries around frantically. I think he even enjoys the reaction of his usual commenters like Ti-Guy and Cherniak_WTF, who slavishly lap up whatever crap he throws out with never a disagreement. Again, a form of manipulation.

  30. “So the privilege of anonymous blogging now only goes to those who are responsible?” – rabbit
    You got it, Slick. In the words of the indomitable Inigo Montoya “Lemme ‘splain”:
    If you want others to respect your pseudonymity, you should be respectful in your dealing with others. Judgment of respectfulness is left to the individuals Day has dealt with.
    If Day had been respectful – which by any objective standard, he was not – then people who aren’t jackasses would be calling Evans a douche, and rightfully so.

  32. CC doesn’t debate or blog,
    Wow, I guess his blog is just a figment of your imagination.

    End post:———————-
    It’s not a blog it’s a hate site, sorry for using lib terminonlogy but if the shoe fits wear it. How is his Ranting and raving at FEMALE conservative bloggers opinions, with no attempt to rebut them, considered blogging? Instead he smears, slurs, insults and degrades them that’s not blogging that’s calculated contrived personal attacks. That’s not blogging that’s using the net to abuse women.
    This issue isn’t about free speech, it’s about a man who uses the net to verbally debase, abuse and degrade female conservative bloggers. He’s free to spew his hatred, but now that his name is in the public domain we females and organizations that work towards the reduction of abuse against women are free to take legal action if they so choose. Can anyone please point out another blogger who used a so called blog to singularly degrade, verbally abuse and subjugate females if so I’d love a link.

  33. Robert Day has sown to the wind and is going to reap a whirlwind, I presume.
    I have always found Robert and his cohort, Lulu, to be the least formidable of all debaters simply because practically everything they write is laced with ad hominem. It’s almost as if it is impossible for either of them to debate a point or an issue without drawing the intelligence or character of others into question.
    I found it best to simply ignore them.

  34. Every action has a consequence, something all the leftards spend their lives hiding from (leftism is basically cowardice and laziness applied to all facets of life – do try to prove different, leftards.. .go ahead)… and the reality of his actions just smacked Robbie Day in the fundament. You can’t spend your waking hours being a despicable excuse for a human being without expecting someone to finally give you your just rewards. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. I personally hope he’s scared shiteless, ’cause that’s the punishment he deserves for his morally retarded garbage, and quite frankly, anyone defending him belongs on the same manure pile.

  35. Day went out of his way to make every encounter on the web a “personal” issue.
    This is the hallmark of a very empty person.
    Perhaps he should be pitied more than scorned?
    NOT.

  36. EBD, yes, it is wrong to publish X’s real identity without first calling police.

  37. “it’s the intolerance of dissent and the desire to punish the unbelievers…” The Rat
    I agree with rat on this. I cannot fathom how someone can HATE/ABHOR/WISH HARM UPON someone because they are of a different political stripe? (there’s something klanish about that thinking). I also cannot fathom how someone can assume that all those who disagree with them are stupid.
    That said, if someone threatened my children then all bets are off.

  38. Hmmm…. Well folks, as a lurker on the poli-blogs, I can truthfully say you’ve led me to come to some conclusions about the Canadian political scene, via bloggers.
    You’re all idiots.
    Both sides, and the supporters who rave them on. Short of grade school playground behavior, I don’t think I’ve seen a level of stupidity like this in years. And yes, if one of my children got into spats like these, there would be some serious consequences for them. Grow up, the lot of you. Can we cut the knee-jerk left/right flogging, and try to provide some actual forward thinking ideas and solutions? I’m not holding out hope.
    Two items:
    a) Using a similar name redirect puts you right up there with spammers and phishers. That’s approaching the only crime that I’d still support the death penalty for. Can you tell I work in IT?
    b) Never, never bring up someones children or their employment in ANY discussion, online or not. It’s verging on behavior that even I would recommend to the police for investigation.
    Please, try to keep it clean folks.
