[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] http://www.thestar.com/News/World/article/235634 I am glad this has finally come to pass. He got what he deserved. So I may appear to be prejudiced against him, but then again I have reason to. I was a former acquaintance of someone who used to work for the Toronto Star as a columnist several years earlier. While I may have different political and economic views from her, I respect the fact that she is a columnist and the fact that a private paper has the right to publish the views of its reporters. Said acquaintance drew the ire of Mr. Black at one point after publishing an article that he apparently didn't like. She doesn't understand it, the article was about a possible currency tax and had nothing to do with Black at all. But I heard that Mr. Black was on the warpath. Normally such people who post logical criticism of said views and perhaps get on with their lives. Not Mr. Black. From several news sources, I read that Mr. Black demanded that the reporter [b]"be taken to City Hall and publically horsewhipped"[/b] (or something like that). And not once too. Repeatedly. Same Mr. Black apparently also criticized the Jury for not being an appropriate selection of his peers and criticizing the selection of "common folk". I'm assuming that none of the Jurors were named Trump. Since 1997, I've had an interest in Mr. Black and his dealings, stopping to look at papers to see what is going on. And not just me too. Another acquaintance lost a substantial amount of money in Hollinger Stock. So it was with glee when we heard of Black being charged. And now he's guilty. For being such a pompous ass, he gets what he deserved. Maybe if he mingled with us "common folk" things would have turned out differently. [/QB][/QUOTE]
