The ethics of "Law Is Cool" |

Given that the law students of Law Is Cool support a "human rights" system that prosecutes you for blog comments, it is worth noting that its anonymous editors rewrite blog comments. Over at Ali Eteraz's site, David Reese points out:
They’re falsifying reader comments over at Simard’s blog, http://www.lawiscool.com./
Here, http://lawiscool.com/2007/12/22/steyn-fans-spam-law-is-cool/#comments, I wrote, “A question: given the remarks made by many in Canada’s Muslim communities toward homosexuals, when can we expect your complaints to the HRC regarding same?” My comment was edited to read, “A question: given the remarks made by many in Canada’s Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Sikh and Hindu communities toward homosexuals, when can we expect your complaints to the HRC regarding same?” Despicable.
Simard, whoever is administering the comments section on your blog is a liar. Is it you?
What is to stop the law students of Law Is Cool editing Mr Reese's comment to appear "racist" and then reporting him to the Human Rights Commission? Unlike the larky lads at Law Is Cool, I'm no lawyer, but I wonder if, in rewriting him to alter the clear meaning of what he says, Law Is Cool has not breached Mr Reese's "human rights"? If no apology and clarification is forthcoming, perhaps a complaint to the CHRC is in order.
By the way, M Simard's anonymous chums say we don't allow comments over here. They're welcome to send an e-mail to Mark's Mailbox and we'll reprint it as written. I would be particularly grateful if M Simard could address this question: Why did he and his fellow plaintiffs demand money from Maclean's?
UPDATE: By the way, I was tickled by this from the Law Is Cool nellies:
Steyn’s armies of Conservative bloggers have proved themselves a volatile bunch. Time for this site to move on...
Ah, I see. At Law Is Cool, the statute of limitations kicks in after 24 hours: Time to move on, people to see, blogs to run. But it's different when Daniel Simard demands his own Maclean's cover story in response to one six months earlier. If Law Is Cool is indicative of his nimbleness, I may do the cross-examination myself.
