Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
There's no way any lawyer could argue that nfitz's message board postings calling Rob Ford a bigot have hurt his career or reputation in the community.

Why would he charge me with libel? His alcholism is well documented, with an arrest in the 1980s, a criminal conviction in the 1990s, and a well reported incident at the ACC in the 2000s. His drug-taking he has admitted to. The bribery attempt is well documented in a police report. The mis-use of taxpayer money was detailed in a recent report to city council that was accepted by council - even Ford didn't vote against it. The wife-beating charge was well documented in the media. The lying over previous criminal charges has been well documented. His bigotry against gays has been documented time and time again. I suppose he ddn't actually fake a resume, however he mislead the media that he had gradulated University, and when his people clarified that he hadn't a day later (fair enough) they said he was 2 credits shy of graduating, which appears to be a complete fabrication ... he certainly never made any attempt to correct the error.I seriously hope he sues you for libel. It wouldn't be so difficult to prove.
Well he can sue me then, too. Because he is an ignorant or willfully prejudiced anti-gay bigot. It's hardly a secret - he publicly accept endorsements from evangelical anti-gay preachers, and has targeted Pride funding.
How can you possibly say something that is such a lie!He's not anti-gay so calling him that in a public message board is a harmful lie.
It's his public statements and actions against gay marriage that prove that Rob Ford is a bigot.You think cutting costs makes him anti-gay? You're incorrigible!

He's made many anti-gay comments. He's refused to support funding for AIDS because he says it's only gays and drug users who get it. He's referred to homosexuality as a choice. But most importantly, he's made it clear that he's of the same mind as anti-gay pastor Wendell Brereton. Are you going to try tell me that Wendell Brereton pastor isn't anti-gay?
What does that mean? In what way do you think Rob Ford is ignorant?Being ignorant is a monumental leap from the venomous hatred associated with the bigotry that you describe.

The man is not fit to hold public office. Yet Toronto still elected him. A bigot is now electable. This is a huge turning point. I've often wondered how supposedly democratic societies can vote in people of this ilk - and now I've witnessed it. It's pretty scary. Not so much Ford himself ... the guy isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed - but what it represents, and what others could do if they also manage to harness the same support.
Why would Ford even know who I am? I doubt he reads this blog ...Irony is dripping from your words. It seems you have far more disdain for him than im certain he has for you!
I think that Rob Ford is very stupid, but even I don't think he is that stupid. Is that the news story that either he or the Conservative party want in the media day after day? Besides he has been called a bigot and even a racist by mainstream politicians - and even I don't go that far. Why would he sue someone for commenting on a blog.If I were on his team I would be rounding up the lawyers now.
Hey, I'm no Nobody!Sorry, nfitz, you're going to JAIL!
