A Small Story [with pathetic update]

It's a small thing in this world, but it was a fairly big thing for the Canadian political blogosphere a few years ago. In this story, a prominent lefty blogger attracted an adversary from the rightward side of the intertubes and said right-wing adversary made it his mission to expose the man behind the blogging pseudonym and then (stupidly) accuse him of pedophilia.

Eventually, the targeted blogger took his defamer to court and, ridiculous story short, many years later, the right-wing blogger/twitterer is an undischarged bankrupt, owing over $100,000 in damages and costs.

So, a while ago, one thing leading to another, I ended up watching a YouTube video of a guy named Charlie Zelenoff getting beaten-up in a boxing ring. Zelenoff is a sort of "troll" who appears to honestly believe that he's a world class boxer. The best there's ever been.


The video I saw featured Zelenoff going up against a retired professional heavy-weight boxer (guy in his early-forties by this point) who had ignored Zelenoff's online badgering and harassment until Zelenoff started making remarks insulting the man's daughter and maybe even threatening to go after her. The pro plays around with Zelenoff, but his continued insults and stupidity finally got to him and the pro started to lay a few heavy head-shots before his friends pulled him away. Zelenoff was prostrate on the mat.

Zelenoff clearly has mental problems. This is widely acknowledged. But he keeps going after others, he keeps thinking that he's going to marry Kim Kardashian or Nicky Minaj. He keeps thinking he's the greatest boxer in the world.

I leave it to you, gentle reader, to draw your own conclusions.

[PATHETIC UPDATE]

Evidently, at least up until last September 2017, the failed legal mastermind was doing this sort of tomfoolery.
