Denyse O'Leary, internationally renowned Toronto Based Journalist and Freedom Fighter has suspended comments on all of her blogs - but only to protect the commenters.
It seems that a writer, Mark Steyn, is being hauled before the Canadian Human Rights Commission for hate speech - he quoted a Muslim saying something that another Muslim took a dislike to and has been hauled before the Commission - which has a 100% conviction rate.
Says Denyse, "This "human rights" situation is the reason I disabled the comboxes at my blogs recently. The galloping rate at which "human rights" commissions will hear cases of people claiming to have been offended by something they read leaves me with little choice. As a writer, I must subject myself to that risk, but cannot ethically subject others - not until or unless these commissions are relieved of most of their current responsibilities - including all responsibility for policing Internet content."
You see, if she wrote something for you, you'd be in ... wait, that's not right. If she allowed you to write something that offended a Muslim, then you'd be in trouble and it would be her ... wait, that's not right either.
You see, if she was to write one of the typically brainless things she is in the habit of writing and you showed why it was brainless and it offended her, she could have you hauled up before the Human Rights Commission. Well, that's closer anyway.

As near as I can tell, she wrote this at 9:51 am, June 4th.
Being ever-so-slightly more aware of things than Denyse, Ed Brayton wrote about it on May 27.
