Dear Ezra: It's Over, So STFU

So, not satisfied with Soharwardy's withdrawal of his complaint, Ezra Levant's out for blood.

"Not only am I going to finish this human rights complaint and win it, but I'm going to launch a lawsuit against Soharwardy for abuse of process," Levant said. "That's basically when you use a government agency — a lawsuit — for frivolous and vexatious purposes to punish someone."


I propose that the next edition of the Canadian Oxford dictionary place a copy of Mr. Levant's picture beside the word "vexatious".

Most people would be quite satisfied that the complaint had been withdrawn - a moral victory of sorts. Instead, Ezra is now threatening to sue Soharwardy for using a legal process.

But then again, Ezra's not exactly known for taking the high road, either. Frankly, this doesn't particularly strike me as any different than the kind of boasting threats that Craig Chandler made on his "Freedom Radio Network" program in reference to Mr. Wells' complaints.

In both cases, we see the words and actions of people accustomed to getting their way, and dealing out retribution to those who stood in the way however they think they can get away with it.
