I forecast its market failure. solus' threadline is correct.
This is yet-another major setback for Canadian auto manufacturing: GM closes the Oshawa Silverado plant (2,600 direct jobs lost, plus supplier jobs); Oshawa "gains" production of the new Camaro dinosaur (yeah, the world needs a 6.0L two seat coupe getting 15 mpg); Ford Oakville gets the Flex; Chrysler Canada is saddled with the equally low-sales Challenger dinosaur (see Camaro above); and the Crown Vic plant in St. Thomas is soon gone.
Pity. The "Big" 3 are building some damn' good product, but whoever their respective market strategists are/were, should be fired. The lull of easy SUV profits through the 90's-early00's will kill them, I forecast.
#238 Charles 6/12/08 5:17:20 pm 0
After reviewing Q's recent posts, and the links he's been posting, his barely-disguised racism is no longer welcome at LGF.
Auster was fired from David Horowitz's FrontPage. That should tell you something.
Here's what actually happened. It reflects profoundly badly on Horowitz, not Auster. Johnson puts himself in a very sleazy light by using that as a context-free argument from authority against Auster. But then, as Auster has demonstrated, the guy specializes in context-free, dishonest smears.
For Johnson, the main thing that constitutes Brussels Journal's taking its mask off and revealing the lizard-like reality within is that Paul Belien has responded to Charles Johnson's attacks on him. Johnson writes:
Belien lashes out at me again, calling me a "Stalinist" and a "Nazi" (simultaneously! that's a neat trick).
But what Belien actually says in the post, which Johnson himself quotes, is that Johnson
still adheres to the Stalinist (or Nazi) methods of the past. One of these Stalinist (or Nazi) principles is the principle of guilt by association.
Even though I disagree with Auster more often than not, he expresses his opinions in the most coherent, analytical and non-hysterical manner in the internet. That's something Charles Johnson has never been able to do.

Yep. There have been many times I've wanted to send someone an LFG link for the content but don't thanks to the embarrassing style.
Jefe's "huzzah!" reminded me of a movie I was watching that had a Greek translation. The characters were toasting and yelling "Huzzah!" and the translator didn't know that expression so he translated it as "Hussars!"
Even RWC's mom? If you need an excuse for her poor treatment on Bloggie, try accusing her of thinly veiled racism. That's going to be my standard excuse.
Solus - I am sorry to see you banned at LGF. I for the life of me cannot figure out why there cannot be a debate on this issue there and why people who have been around LGF a very long time are being banned.
I understand Auster's critique of Charles, though I do not share his conclusions and believe that they are stated to stridently.
I also understand where Charles is coming from on the issue of racism, though I believe he does not make a distinction between those who argue race realism out of love for their people and those who argue supremacy out of hatred or spite.
I wish people would extend more moral credit to each other.
I guess it's because I associate my time at LGF with the early days of this struggle, after the 2001 attacks, when I thought that my people and my government would rally and do the right thing, and so much of what I love and thought has proved to be just absolutely wrong, to be things that reject me and everything I believe in.
So, now to be rejected at LGF, well, it's just one more thing from a time in my life where I thought that most people on the right shared my views at heart. Instead, it turns out that I am one of a hopelessly outnumbered minority, yesterday's men, whose world, it seems, is slated for Trotsky's ashbin.
AM's comment score is -6. LMAO. "That'll show him," yelled the sixth Lizard as he voted it down. Minus five wasn't enough, but minus six will really teach him a lesson he won't soon forget.

I was quoting AM42's 'Damn, and I thought Obama had thin skin'.
I should have copied and pasted what I wrote. D'oh!
Went something like this: The braintrust you have over here, honestly, I've wiped better off my shoe. This used to be a place to get good information, now it's nothing more than a tedious echo chamber jam-packed with hysterical bitches. Nobody moves even a step out of formation out of fear of being shouted down or banned. You're like the Borg. I have to wonder if you all really think the same or if you're just too scared to say something different. But in either case, I can't really be bothered to care.
#112 Lewis: not really a protocol, but no one had linked yet, so why start now? Screw him, let him wonder. He'll probably figure it out without too much trouble but why make it easy?
LGF has been banned by the USAF for a hell of a lot longer than bloggie, but while bloggie's category is 'blogs/opinion', LGF's was 'violence/hate speech'.

See, that is what is so sad about this. Charles complains about crypto-fascists on the right and he is blissfully unaware that the USG and its liberal establishment consider him in the same light that he considers us.
It doesn't occur to him that if we're beyond the pale, he is too.
He's drawing a distinction that no one in power shares.
Since at least 2004, LGF has been banned on Air Force networks. Early 2004 too. Possibly even late 2003, since I remember looking at it right before I went to Spain, but then as soon as I got back I couldn't read it at work anymore.
I just quoted his bannybanban comments and added...
Damn... I thought Obama had thin skin.
Nevertheless, I doubt that Q or Jourdan (or anyone else who might point out that- Heaven forbid- you could actually be wrong about soemthing) will lose any sleep tonight.
I can't believe his ego's so fragile that he actually deleted it.
#141 joem: hmm, maybe that word doesn't mean what I think it does? I didn't mean glib in any good sense, but rather to connote shallowness and a certain sliminess.

Me neither. I just figured since it was my last comment there I might as well make it nice and inflammatory. I can't actually be bothered to give that much of a shit.

I think you are more correct than I. I was thinking of it meaning "quick answer", but it seems to have the connotation you intended:
1 a: marked by ease and informality : nonchalant b: showing little forethought or preparation : offhand c: lacking depth and substance : superficial
2archaic : smooth, slippery
3: marked by ease and fluency in speaking or writing often to the point of being insincere or deceitful
#158 Lewis: I despise him too much to leave a comment on his blog, even if it is in order to get banned. After the way he treated me, after a long and friendly acquaintance and all the support, both tangible and moral, that I gave him, I'm not giving him the satisfaction of deleting my comment and banning me "for cause" (which you can tell he really relishes doing). If he knows he hasn't banned my account and he's just waiting for a reason, then good, let him wait. If he doesn't, I'm not going to give him any "joy in his thighs", as zorkie says, by popping up to further validate his persecution complex.
Hate mail is definitely not my style. It's making personal what mustn't be.
'Tweren't me neither.
Though I wouldn't be adverse to sending him a more-or-less respectful e-mail outlining his kneejerk nutiness, but it turns out that I can't be bothered.
I'm terrible about answering email in general, I can't even think of bothering with hate mail.
What I find funny in this is that Bloggie got delinked by Charles Johnson for publishing comments by a poster who was too far to the left for his tastes and now our commenters get banned for supporting someone too far to the right for his tastes. So much for debate.

LOL!
Actually one of the very first things that started my turning away from Charles was that the last two or three donations I made to him (cash plus about 6 items off his wish list) were never even acknowledged. That pissed me off big time, especially as I made the last donation at a time I was out of work.
I think there's some deal where the LGF search defaults to a date range of one year in the past.
I'm confident that there's a way to tell the search to use a different date range, but I'm too much of a technotard to figure out what it is.
Yes, there's a little calendar that you can click on to change the search range. The first time date you click is the start date, and the second date you click will be the end date. I had tried it earlier tonight... to see what, exactly, was so terrible about SR's comments.
The quote was a joke based on his past behaviour with jinnderella--he would ban her until she bought him something and then he'd let her back in.
Are you shiatting me? That's nucking futs.
I gave him money once, and bought him a couple things off the wish list another time. Never got an acknowlegement or thank you, but then again, I wasn't expecting one. They weren't really life-changing donations or anything.
OTOH, Ace and Goldstein both sent me thank-youse for my pissant little donations.
I don't really have a feel for the proper ettiquette here. I myself am pretty crap at sending people thank-you cards, and I wasn't at all offended by the lack of one.

Oh. I hadn't bothered to wade into that shallow pool again to see what was "going on". But Fay's #210 proves what a classless ingrate he is. I knew about the egoism bordering on narcissism, but that really turns me off even more.

Oh yeah, I saw that, and clicked the shiat out of them, but they didn't do diddly-squat.
Probably some goofy security setting on my work computer wouldn't allow it to work correctly.

Okay, finally figured it out. And yes, ev's account is still kosher. Still links to DL as well.
#223 Lewis: I actually did get a list of his comments, and read through several. Imagine my surprise when- after going through a dozen or so recent comments- I couldn't find the terrible "barely-disguised racism" that got him banned.
Charles, I hope you're keeping track of the folk at Lies (I know it's called Discarded Lies, but since they never discard any lies, I just use the correct terminology which is LIES) who say they are registered here (e.g., airforcewife) but haven't posted in a couple of years and who may come back over now to create more problems.
And WTF is it with Evariste? He's cheering on people making racist and fascist comments out here?
Another long-time LGF poster has come out as a fascist sympathizer tonight, and is no longer welcome at my site. It takes a long time to flush out these creeps, unfortunately.
BTW, z&e, I apologize in advance for whatever idiocity (yes, that is so a word) inevitalby finds it's way here as a result of our fun tonight. I know that you're probably used to it, but I'm sure it's still annoying nonetheless. FWIW, I needed a good laugh tonight (nothing terrible) and this certainly did the trick. Anyway, thanks for hosting this great cheese blog of yours. It certainly is one of a kind. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I have something in my eye...

Well, out of curiosity I went to ToP™ and see that solus, Kevin and Lewis are all banned. It reminds me of the hysterical lefties that try to stifle speech other than their own by shouting and carrying on. God forbid someone might have a different viewpoint.
I've been considering exactly that, to prevent the morons at places like Discarded Lies from taking advantage of stealth accounts. I'll probably write the code this weekend.
Get that? You're the morons, because he didn't ban all your longstanding accounts when he decided to delink DL and make us all unpersons (including my own account).
The poor man exists in a hell of his own making, and he turns up the heat every day and makes it even worse as he continues to root out all intelligence in search of followers who will not question but will only slaver and drool. I almost feel sorry for him. He should get a dog instead.
Okay, it takes a long time to move me to anger on stuff like this and I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt. It's one thing to ban people and say you don't think their views are appropriate. It's quite another to act as if you just uncovered some secret fascist cabal that was this close to taking over the country but for your brave actions. This is painful to watch.

Wow. This has the feeling of outing Soviet spies in the State Department during the 1940's. Effing wierd.
See what I mean? That is just nuts. Since Charles won't let you see the posts that got us banned, LGF folks, this great crusade was caused by.....two people making a distinction between David Duke/Ku Klux Klan and conservatives like Larry Auster and Pat Buchanan.
I just don't get what he's so afraid of (sorry, Sister).
If there is an appalling/racist/whatever comment, isn't it best to let is stand for all to see?
I got angry at the protesters in SF who disrupted the Israel 60th birthday celebrations but at the same time I felt grateful to live in a place where such a thing can happen.

Not Pat Buchanan, who is truly contemptible. Ian Jobling. Big difference.
All blocked, and three more stealth accounts belonging to evariste that have been logged into today.
This is hilarious. Is he just straight-up lying, or is he banning unrelated accounts that he thinks are mine? Because I haven't logged in to LGF in, like, 5 years. None of them were "stealth accounts", they were just either "evariste" or "ev and zorkie", or they were silly things like "Wooden Bender", "Colossal Bender", and a few other Benders (when I was posting some silly Futurama riffs). But I think all the Benders were pre-registration, so they were just nicks of mine. He says he's found 5 accounts of mine, but I really don't think I ever registered 5 accounts. 3 tops? When mandatory registration came around, I think I wasn't really a very regular poster any more.
Anyway, too many words. The point is, he's either deliberately lying or deluded.
That's at least 10 stealth accounts belonging to those obsessed freaks. I almost feel sorry for them; they're obviously caught in some kind of negative feedback loop that's warping their values. Oh well.
Man, I wonder how many random people he purged who have nothing to do with us. You've got a dozen mentioned previously, plus 10 more "stealth accounts", unless the two overlap and he's forgotten that he mentioned the dozen before.
Good night AM and Kevin, and don't take your banning to heart. Think of it like leaving Scientology, you just escaped from a ponytailed Tom Cruise. Except taller.

Scientology, too, often fraudulently claims to be on the receiving end of "hate mail". So that's one thing they have in common.
"Stealth accounts", "Soviet spies", "negative feedback loop", "warping values", these guys think that they're in a Hollywood movie. People! It's a blog! You're posting on some stupid blog! You're not superheroes and Charles Johnson is no Bruce Willis!
By the way, I missed remarking on the most hilarious Charles Johnson comment of all, the one in which the he presumes to define who is and is not a conservative. Charles Johnson was a bike-riding liberal Californian musician/web development dilettante/Bush hater until the morning of 9/11/2001. Then he instantly became the same collection of adjectives, minus "Bush hater", plus "Muslim hater". That makes him the arbiter of conservatism? Charles Johnson, same guy who applauded Michael Schiavo's struggle to legally murder his disabled wife? He, like Bush himself, represents nothing more than the destruction of conservatism by fraudulent pretenders.

Except we'd never say such stupid things like "stealth accounts", we'd stick with "roquefort" and "gloucester". We might even go as far as "Lincolnshire Cheddar", but "stealth accounts"? Please.
This week was the first time I've been up past midnight in like six months. I feel like such a rebel with my stealth accounts and late-night computer hackery.

Hey, so I've been meaning to ask, how do you do that thing where you just have the link to the comment and the person's name instead of replying to the whole comment? I looked in the faq but I didn't see it there.
And that stuff about Jesus in the faq still makes me giggle hysterically. I am so going to hell.
Yikes! I missed a whole gigantic thread while I was sleeping. And apparently it's funny too! ::sniff:: no one waited for me...
Now I shall slink off and read all the comments and be back at midday... and then I shall bombard bloggie with all my own silly jokes and no one will be awake to counteract them. Bwa ha ha ha!

But annie...what we need to know is...are you banned too?
Erm... I don't think so. I obviously have to try harder :-p
I actually only ever posted about 10 comments there and I've only posted there once since I discovered bloggie. Nowadays I barely read the site at all.
I've laughed very much tonight, thanks for the comedic value, Mr Johnson! I'm sorry I ever took you seriously, what a waste of time. This is much better :-)

#350 zorkmidden: Auster is precise, thoughtful, deliberate, creative, and disciplined to such an extent that agreement or disagreement become almost incidental. Just observing the high quality of discriminating thought that he displays is rewarding enough to make reading him worthwhile. Reading Lawrence Auster has made me a more critical and less-forgiving reader. He singlehandedly raises my standards and increases my ability to appreciate totally unrelated efforts, which is a really valuable contribution to my intellectual development. I really cherish people who help me grow as a thinker.
Speaking of humorlessness....is it a fair fight when people with a sense of humor confront people who lack that faculty? Because I feel like we're picking on disabled people tonight.

I don't understand. How can he tell who has a longstanding valid account who also posts at bloggie? FWIW my LGF account is still valid And I remembered my password! My stealth account is under the sooper sekrit name of "annie".I wonder if he'll make the connection...
oh you beat me too it - took me longer to read that thread than I thought. That's 5 mins of my life I won't get back!
I cheated :-) I didn't read the whole thread. Who's got time for that mindless echo-chamber? I did a search for "discarded lies" and followed the comments from there.
At least sounded exciting. Been a while since I stumbled upon any internet hissy fits [no, not a comment/editorial on any of the participants, or the content of said/linked thread (I just like the sound of it as an adjective/descriptor, in general, for such events)].
The speed with which the crowd then present at LGF (in the thread I was last a participant in). Turned, bared salivated fang and ruby scalprum, and proudly attacked. Was truly impressive, and a little numbing.
I got over it (though the Kenton Kelly bullsh*t did keep PJ's in my blogging sights for a lil while). Sh*t, I delinked Free Republic just a few weeks back, after having a comment deleted (about Google? wtf).
What's right is right, what's wrong is wrong. Ignore the bullsh*t. Keep your eyes fixed on the marvy/terrific prize .... militant radical Islam.
Have a drink, relax. The millennial war has only just begun. It ain't goin to be pretty. (If lucky) I figur I gotts mebbe twenty years left on this rock. I ain't gunna spend it on my knees. Nor worrying about internet hissy fits.
Thanks All who make Disco Lies what it is. Home. G*d Bless.
As I have found previously in my life, acting unfailingly courteously will not always get you the same response.
The same response happens mostly, but you act courteously because it is the proper Christian act, not because of the response. Some times you will not get it.
Hmmm... I notice that packen hasn't posted here in a while. I say we give her five minutes to account for herself.
While you've been having all this fun I was ducking tornadoes and floods, but thanks to the seekrit informer whose stealth account can be revealed in comment #308, I have now been duly updated.
The man has lost his mind, that's all I can say, seriously. Very sad. Why is the Ninny still posting there? I thought she was banned long time ago, but then who can keep up with all those bannings and now preemptive bannings, too? Oy...
#255 evariste: Creepy was the word that came to my mind earlier too. And he should really lose the ponytail, we're in the 21st century now.

Still, I gotts ta thank da Beeg Guy or Girl up in the sky (if you belee dat sorta teeng). For having enough smarts (in my late thirties), to come to the realization. I didn't want to be fiddy, and have long hair.

re: #478 Charles Oh man, I knew Evariste was a lot of things, none of them really good (like the time he "shared" your confidential e-mails to him with everyone at Lies (waay back in the day) but didn't think he was a fascist -

I can see value in assembling an intellectual movement. And in trimming the edges. But lgf will never become such a movement-- at least if it is first an echo-box.
I can see value in assembling an actual movement. Movements can change the world -- think abolition or less happily prohibition or eugenics. Such movements may not be assembled upon the internet.
Mrs. Nana is (according to our phone conversations) a physically disabled former nurse, apparently looking for outlets for her mental energies who lives somewhere out the Island (Long).

Try again in a few days. You will probably have a slightly different IP address and Charles has no way of tracking that to block it.
Since I can't remember the password for either of my accounts (the obvious one or the 'stealth' one (i.e. I changed my mind after registering)), who knows if I'm banned. Also, who cares. Not me, that's who doesn't.
Obama 'Fight the Smear' Site Pwned on Its First Day -
Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 1:52:44 pm PST
Amateurish beyond belief.
On its very first day online, the Barack Obama “Fight the Smears” web site has been pwned.
UPDATE at 6/12/08 2:01:50 pm:
I didn’t notice that the address of this site is FightTheSmears.ORG, not .COM ... this is a parody site. But it’s no less amateurish — because what happened is that the Obama campaign’s web people forgot to register the .org domain. Another beginner’s mistake.
UPDATE at 6/12/08 3:56:30 pm:
The link has been removed because it now contains links to porn sites.
The sad thing is that our nefarious plan, to infest them with our pro-fascist comments, would have been quite sucessful if Jourdan hadn't stormed in there yelling "Leeeeerooooy Jenkins"

I can't remember the last time I commented (or even looked at the comments), although I usually check out the front page and sometimes click the linked articles, if they seem interesting enough.
[Invis-O-Text™: ON]
I'm sorry I looked at the comments, it was profoundly depressing. I guess I'm still mourning what used to be. [Invis-O-Text™: OFF]
I did a quick glance at this thread and a 500+ comment thread from this morning, and the only other names I recognized (apart from the two evil suck-ups) were loppyd, WriterMom, Occasional Reader, and Lawhawk.
Yikes, Charles Johnson is a truly pathetic man. He is only interested in allowing users who endorse his viewpoints to post in his forum--anyone with the opposite of view--as tends to happen with many controversial points of view--is automatically hounded out--by him.
I managed to finally become a member today of his website, and soon I was banned--for having differing opinions.
In all fairness I should point out that the commenters on LGF weren't all that bad, I mean, other than the whole hate thing. At least compared to any forum where 99% of the posters agree and anyone who disagrees is turned on, their behavior was unexceptional. But Charles has set up his website so that he can dismiss/ban posters who disagree with him while displaying the same mannerisms/attitudes as he does. I am guessing he probably does allow *disagreement* on his forum, but only if those disagreeing refrain from being as caustic as Charles and his minions typically are. Charles knows that his methods--tacky smears/guilt by association/name calling--can be used against any viewpoint, and lest he be forced to disregard these means and elevate his own discourse, he's made sure that, on his forum, his is the only viewpoint that can be buttressed by these tactics. He knows the shaky foundation he stands on.
Here's the email I wrote him:
"Charles, I find it funny that you've taken away my account, because it REALLY does seem that you don't like opposing viewpoints. I did not seek to air any controversial statements, but I was forced to defend statements I made on another forum. The irony here, Charles, is that like many a liberal you are afraid of debate and argument. I am now satisfied that you're all interested in administering is an echo chamber.
It's also ironic how you have the temerity to call me "vile" given your loathsome and primitive reaction to me--that is, your accusation that I must somehow be connected with an Islamic School that is located in the sprawl that is Fairfax. Oh no, wouldn't want anyone calling you out on your own vile tendencies would you? Hence keeping the gates closed.
Anyway, if you have a modicum of principle you will reinstate my account."
Not holding my breath though.
(one funny thing about that registration thread--Charles asked his fellow posters if anyone had a problem with my getting banned--and one poster stood up for me. Charles though immediately revealed that his was a forgone conclusion and immediately slapped down that poster. Lolz.)

This is one of the most depressing links in a long time. To think the authors are living when there is so much opportunity with the knowledge we have...

Well, that was the obvious way to understand it - what about the original statement could possibly have been construed as "advocating violence"?!
Meanwhile, "Render"s comment #170 (that started this whole kerfuffle), has the tagline:

This is most certainly your prerogative. However, if you do so, I hope you will also remove the current contents of your FAQ page, the vast majority of which I wrote way back when (both the original FAQs, and the updates that included suggestions from the others credited at the end of the page.)
Thank you.

(Any idea what I should be ashamed of? Apart from myself, I mean.)
Not at all! My comment was towards Charles. And my sarcasm meter is pegged. Its really disheartening to see this bunker paranoia sprouting up. Its been happening over there for a long time. I learned over the years that the enemy of your enemy is not always your friend. And just because you have common cause with someone doesnt mean that their ends justify their means. Thats my 2 cents.

I don't understand the point of LGF anymore. So far as I can tell, it supports people who just think or feel that Islamism is yucky, but demonizes as racist fascists anyone who suggests that something be done about it.
I should also like to point out that the post that led to my banning by Charles was quoted in full and very approvingly by Rod Dreher, the Crunchy Con, at beliefnet.com.
Which I suppose makes Rod Dreher a fascist-supporting creep.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the good folks who've stood up for me and the principle. And apologize to those whose banishment I have unwittingly precipitated.
Isn't it funny how Kevin comes back here after a long absence and gets himself banned at LGF barely two days later? :)
Not planned, I assure you. Work and life put a serious dent in my online time and, besides, I was getting the feeling that my constant repetition of the issues that are of grave concern to me was getting tiresome and annoying a few folks.
I'm actually going to be re-launching a new blog here shortly and am trying to lighten things up quite a bit. Which is really ironic in that now I'm a fascist.

What happened to the old FAQ section? It was really well done.
-BANNED!
Huh?
-You're banned too!
So, what is this site about?
-Reasoned discussion and diversity of opinion. Kidding, this blog is really about how great and wonderful Charles is.
What's so great about him?
-Banned, you fascist!
How can I keep from getting banned?
-Questions like this can get you banned! Don't post anything critical of our leader. Don't post anything communist or fascist (Charles and his most loyal minions will determine what is communist and fascist). Defending anyone with evil opinions will get you banned. Most importantly, do not be from that most evil of blogs, Discarded Lies.
So what is "communist or fascist"?
-Opinions to the political left of Charles are communist, opinions to the right are fascist, and opinions from people from DL are both. P.S., you're banned too.
Why do all your posters agree with each other and practically worship Charles?
-He is our leader. He is perfect. Anyone who says anything else is a DL propagandist. Do not listen to the propagandists. Join the ranks of the banned.
What's so bad about the cheese blog? I love that blog.
-BANNED! BANNED! BANNED! AAauuuughh! Eeeeevil! Get Charles! Help!!!
Are you okay?
-Discarded Lies is out to get us! They have secret stealth accounts! They are communist-fascist spies and they are conspiring against us.
You seem kind of paranoid. And your hive mentality is not very healthy. Have you considered therapy?
-Do I have to tell you that you're banned? You're one of THEM, aren't you!? STAY AWAY!
again - I remember seeing it when the whole VB kerfuffle was going on - and kept alternating between nodding my head in agreement, and shaking it in disgust at CJ and his deceitful hypocrisy.
I'm kind of glad that we have finally reached this final "parting of the ways".

A perfect example of the cult-like groupthink at LGF was when a poster wrote that he liked both LGF and the Brussels Journal and wished we could all get along.
Which side would you like to be seated? With the fascists or the communists?

Think they figured out what my previous nic was to ban me? I don't want to go check, I mean, I tried to be civil and everything and not say anything rude because LGF had been.. you know. I met most of ya'll there, I got through deployment #1 there...
I like it better here.
And we're going out for Chinese tonight, so I'll probably miss more fun.
But just to make things clear... For those monitoring the thread - I used to post as MILITARYBRAT. Just to be clear, it was MILITARYBRAT. That way you can erase all traces of any account even though I am not posting anything and don't plan to and usually just checked the main page once a day or so to see what was being linked.
Oh, and for the record? Ev has helped me with computer issues eleventy thousand times, most particularly a couple times when my husband was deployed and the computer was our sole means of communication. Charles never helped me with jack shit - nor did any other person at LGF. And while he most certainly does not owe me anything, nor do I expect anything, I appreciate what ev has done for me more than I can say. And I think it is indicative of the kind of person he is - he put his money where his mouth was when I needed it and never asked anything of me in return.
If that is a reason to be banned, I consider banning an honor.

I will never forget that ev paid (anonymously) for justdanny's Internet access for 3 months, and that not only did jd not say Thank You once he was told whodunnit, he metaphorically shat all over him.

I hear you, afw. zorkie and ev have both helped me with computer problems as well as not overreacting the time or two I sent them sort of hysterical emails :-)
Plus, several years ago ev looked up and sent us the program to open a document sent by our PoS realtor which had to be signed and returned in 24 hours.
#576 airforcewife: which reminds me of your transitional nicks when you were getting us used to the idea, like "militarybra" and my top favorite, "militar".
And don't even get me started on all the wonderful things I could say about zorkie. Because I would go on and on and on and on and on...
ev and zorkie have given me a place to go on the internet in the middle of the night when my husband is being shot at, my kids are having a bad day, my MIL is crapping herself and asking for marital aids in her nursing home, and I just need someone to talk to, laugh with, and commiserate with. And all they ever ask of me is civility. Not even really that, since they've never taken me to account for my temper tantrums or my foul language.
That is not something to throw away for anyone, no matter how internet famous they are.
And don't even get me started on all the wonderful things I could say about zorkie.
You are veering dangerously off-topic. Let's get back to meeee! And how awesome me am. zorkie has a dog to worship her (she does have to buy his loyalty with McNuggets, but still).
since they've never taken me to account for my temper tantrums or my foul language.
Does anybody have the slightest idea what the fuck she's talking about? I can't think of a single time when airforcewife behaved in any reproachable way.
Well, you'll just have to wait for zork & ev to open to doors of bloggie registration at some seemingly random day & time.
For no more than 7&1/2 minutes.
I spent much of last night reading the idiocy at LGF, and was struck by the fact that Charles seems unable to deal with anything other than Sycophancy Sentral, until it occurred to me that nearly seven years have passed since the event that made him King Konservative. Now, since liberals have a notoriously short attention spans (like children and the brain damaged) and love calling anyone with the temerity to disagree in any way a fascist or nazi, it begs the question of whether CharlieJ is angling to get back into the Cali-biker-weenie-liberal-douche fold?
Now, as of this AM, my account was still open there (not this name, Chuckie, too bad fer you) so don't out me, OK?
If it remains open after Chuckieboo is done obsessing over those he accuses of obsessing, I will finally post something long and pithy and almost certainly over the heads of 90% of the posters there, just for the sheer freaking joy of hearing his head explode.
I will take a screen shot when I do that, and be sure to post it anywhere free thought and free speech are allowed, i.e.: Not LGF.
I wonder how many LGFers were not able to post on LGF today because Paranoia Charlie banned their accounts last night thinking they belong to evariste and airforcewife.
Lawrence "Springtime For Hitler" Auster is a very naive fascist. Charles "My Way Or The Highway" Johnson needs to show him how to do fascism right.
LA replies:
You're telling me that there's a "vote" mechanism that he makes available on every comment, thus soliciting participants to vote yes or no, but if they vote no on HIS comments, they're instantly expelled?
This can't be. It's too far out. It's beyond a parody of totalitarianism.

Good night AM and Kevin, and don't take your banning to heart. Think of it like leaving Scientology, you just escaped from a ponytailed Tom Cruise. Except taller.

Now I have to go and figure out what exactly people were banned for. It's like trying to piece together Supreme Soviet meetings with redacted minutes and whited out photos. Something to do with Buchanan? I was asked to review his last book, and I was tempted (and very appreciative of Lukacs' effort) but didn't think I could keep my food down long enough to finish reading it.

Meg, for being Meg.
floranista, for existing.

Thanks to whoever posted the link to Lawrence Auster's discussion of Buchanan. His point about Kirsch's review is an interesting one. Something that I don't quite get, though:
Of course he didn't even reply. Neocons never reply to intelligent criticism from their right.
(referring to his letter to Kirsch.)
What exactly makes Auster to the right of neocons? Disagrees on some things, sure, but how do we decide which position is on the left and which on the right?

According to Auster, neocons are a subcategory of liberals -- right-liberals, as opposed to left-liberals (liberals proper). In his (not unreasonable) view, they operate from the same fallacious basic premise: the universal sameness and consequent interchangeability of all people and groups thereof.
The jealousy! I am consumed by it! Damn them and their platinum standard blog!
*flails about wildly*
LMAO. I know, the accusations of jealousy are so laughably off the mark, but repeated so often by Nana as to have passed beneath my notice entirely without remark.
But what do they think there is to be jealous of, exactly? We're too consumed with innate superiority to be jealous! I mean, you could cut the smugness at Bloggie HQ with a knife, people. We spend the rare bits of time that we devote to LGF and Charles Johnson laughing at it and him.
I think the comment about jealousy tells more about her than anything else-that she thinks in those terms and probably is herself jealous not only of Charles Johnson and LGF, but of me and DL as well. After all, did she not spend months operating an email defamation campaign against me, trying to destroy my reputation and making outrageous claims about me, all the while I thought she was a sweet and harmless old lady and was friendly with on LGF? I would never even have found out about this had one of the people she'd been trashing me to informed me. She is a destroyer, not a creator. An attention parasite who feeds off others' fame and spends all her time stirring conflicts and creating strife. How can she stand herself? If I was her, I would walk in front of a train.
According to Auster, neocons are a subcategory of liberals -- right-liberals, as opposed to left-liberals (liberals proper). In his (not unreasonable) view, they operate from the same fallacious basic premise: the universal sameness and consequent interchangeability of all people and groups thereof.
Denial of the existence and/or importance of meaningful differences, in other words.
I've laughed very much tonight, thanks for the comedic value, Mr Johnson! I'm sorry I ever took you seriously, what a waste of time. This is much better :-)

Ever since I first read that notion of neocons on Auster's site, it struck me like a thunderclap as so obviously correct as to go without saying. But it's actually nonobvious and requires explanation, which is why I didn't realize it till then. I like the phrase "right-liberals", it's just the perfect morsel to convey the meaning.

Serifs say "decoration matters, and we don't need to pursue efficiency above beauty. We can have it all." Serifs are for lingering. Serifs are for lovers. Sans-serifs are for obsessive-compulsive handwashers, homosexuals, EU treaties, mimes, and Pol Pot. Serifs are rock and roll. Sans-serifs are Cage's 4'33''.
Denial of the existence and/or importance of meaningful differences, in other words.
Sans-serifs do that too, but serifs discriminate meaningfully. Serifs won't fit in your cultural blender. They're too awkward and pointy. You can't get serifs in vanilla. You can get them in chocolate or in grape, but you can only get sans-serifs in vanilla, and it doesn't even really taste of vanilla. It tastes of Similac.
Ever since I first read that notion of neocons on Auster's site, it struck me like a thunderclap as so obviously correct as to go without saying. But it's actually nonobvious and requires explanation, which is why I didn't realize it till then. I like the phrase "right-liberals", it's just the perfect morsel to convey the meaning.
This deserves some serious thought.
I'm open to the proposition that people and groups aren't interchangeable. What, if anything, this has to do with their inherent rights, or the obligations that one has toward others (on an individual or group level) is where it gets thorny. I don't think all nations are capable of stable, civilized government, for instance, but if we frame a foreign policy not in terms of creating a democracy where there was despotism, but rather in terms of halting the worst abuses of a despot, does it matter whether groups are interchangeable?

Serifs have three or more stealth accounts on your blog that have been logged into today. Luckily sans-serif ferreted them out and blocked the accounts. Serif is the tallest poppy, and sans-serif is a scythe. Sans-serif plucks and waxes. Serif grows a beard to draw attention away from the unibrow.
Once I got past my sadness-for-what-once-was, then yes. Yes, it was. (My personal favourite was his pouty, "Enjoy your new friends," like he was my going-steady boyfriend that I'd just broken up with with whom I'd just broken up.)
According to Auster, neocons are a subcategory of liberals -- right-liberals, as opposed to left-liberals (liberals proper). In his (not unreasonable) view, they operate from the same fallacious basic premise: the universal sameness and consequent interchangeability of all people and groups thereof.
This premise leads to the American expectation of assimilation which Europe is trying to imitate and failing. For example, the Greek government opened the country's borders to Albania and countries from the former Soviet bloc, but the Greek people did not welcome the influx of foreigners. Second generation Albanian immigrants, born in Greece, speaking Greek, and completely assimilated, are still called Albanians and the media freely reports the ethnicity of crime suspects. There's the argument that this increases racism in the country and that Greeks should welcome economic immigrants because we had a big wave of immigration from Greece in the 50s and we should know how hard it is being an immigrant. But in a country with high unemployment and low wages people don't much care about such sentiments. France has its own immigrant ghettos, as does Britain, and the fact that they have to try to enforce assimilation tells you that the process is not going well.
I prefer to think in terms of civilization and culture instead of race and those are the values I hold dearest. But I've noticed that instead of expecting immigrants to assimilate to the U.S., we are assimilating ourselves to their culture. One lesson that California can take from Greece is that no Greek public school holds classes in Albanian and Greece doesn't celebrate Albanian holidays. Second-generation Albanians may still be called Albanians but they're expected to speak Greek and live Greek.

As do I. I am not a race fetishist, I simply believe that the white race is a historical material basis, and the white majority is a necessary (but not sufficient, obviously) condition, of the Western civilizational continuity.
I like what Qq wrote a few weeks ago: ideally, the in-group would include the entire humanity, but the reality is that some groups are simply not assimilable at their current stage of cultural evolution. And we must not make ourselves hostage to that fact by continuing to blindly follow the premises of radical universalism.

#684 Trillian:
Heh, she's hooked on the ole bloggie-crack again...
#677 zorkmidden: excellent comment. Most insidious to me is that the typically triumphalist American conservative commentary on Europe scolds the Europeans for failing to assimilate immigrants, and advises them to do so forthwith. The US conservative cure for Europe's rotting teeth is apparently...candy bars. Look at how well we've assimilated our Muslims, they rebuke Europe; that your Muslims are rioting and fighting you and destroying your country is your fault, not theirs. Their prescription is that rather than limiting Muslim immigration, Europe should roll out the red carpet to them. Would this not merely act as an even greater incentive for the ongoing Islamic population replacement program? Do they not realize what numbers the Muslims have amassed in Europe, how many towns where Mohammad is the most common name for newborn boys? Don't worry, say Republicans, just treat the hostile masses of Mohammads and Ahmads and Osamas and Khalids as if they were French people. As if the French identity itself was so malleable and plastic, meaning nothing more than what right-liberal Americans wish it to mean that day. It's bad enough that they've devalued the peoplehood of Americans, filling Minnesota with Somalis and small-town Iowa with Iraqis, and watching in silent consent as the American populations of the Southwestern states are replaced wholesale with hostile invaders; they want to debase every other remaining peoplehood as well.

The other question is, if you reject the "just assimilate them and it will all be fine" school of thought, which is fair, what on earth can they do other than that? Live and let live doesn't work, because, well, one side isn't interested in letting the other live as they are, in the long term.

Well, it was never really that verboten. We instituted it out of exasperation with someone who was just doing it constantly.

It's the sort of law that exists not to be enforced rigorously and oppressively against everyone, but as a tool reserved only for the most flagrant of abusers.

I am deeply uncomfortable with them, but more to the point here, I can't imagine them ever being implemented in Europe, for reasons ranging from the temperamental to the very pragmatic, ie are there many able-bodied Europeans willing to take physical risks to reclaim their country? I'm guessing "no", given the number of "no-go" areas in major European cities. And with each passing year, as per Steyn, the ratio of "youths" to young adult Europeans shifts a bit further.

Then you immediately halt all further immigration and expel every non-citizen resident upon the slightest pretext.
Offer free one-way tickets to anywhere for all Muslims.
Close down every Mosque in your country, watch half the Mohammadans leave voluntarily, and watch the other half's culture dissolve.
Your government never partners with Muslim outreach groups.
Ban the Koran as hate speech.
There's a jillion ways to go at this, but, honestly, I'm not optimistic.
I figure Europeans will eventually become fed up with the invaders, and that it's going to get bloody.
Actually, it'll probably get bloody pretty much any way the cookie ends up crumbling.

Well, seriously. What are they going to say, Smit? What CAN they say? Charles was hysterically banning people - some people who didn't even post there! - and telling someone to be ashamed for associating with two people who go out of their way to help people they've never even met. Other than "nya nya, we're telling on you! You're not popular like WE are!" like some kind of retarded internet version of Mean Girls.
And the banning that started the whole thing was Charles losing his mind and calling someone who takes their American-ness VERY seriously, as they lived through communism in the USSR, and as a Jew.
How dare Solus be proud of HIS country and look and think about ways to fix it! How DARE he!
That just irritates the ever loving crap out of me. Here is someone who is American by CHOICE, not by the luck of birth. And may I add, is more "American" than most people born here. And Charles, from his Ivory Mac tower, can't stand being around someone who lived in a situation he can't even conceive of not agreeing with him.
"Braver than I" about visiting a damn website, indeed. If that is someone's measure of bravery, they need to stay behind a keyboard in Mom's basement where they belong. Just don't eat the tomatoes. Dangerous, you know.
I wonder how long it will take the Hall Monitor to spot my comment, and for Charles to burst from the basement with his banning stick, frantically jabbing the "delete comment 368!" button.
Of course, being a good DL spy, I posted under an alias.

Want to find out what the racists and fascist sympathizers are saying about LGF today?
That slippery, sleazy LGF commenter who called himself 'jeppo' is outed in this thread, as 'James Pillman'. And he was at LGF specifically pushing talking points provided by Lawrence Auster:
[Link: tinyurl.com...]
And 'racialist' Ian Jobling (I think he likes to call himself a 'race realist' these days) weighs in, with the help of banned LGF commenter 'Q':
Well... that was a disturbing walk in the underground lair. Do they truly not see what they have become? CaJo has become what he mocked - Kos and DU. It really is sad. LGF was a lifeline of sanity for me in the days after 9/11. But the "Best Of" is now here, and I am endlessly grateful for how you all make me think, force me to reason, re-consider and defend ideas.
I may just have to dust off the Diner in honor of the occasion...
I’d also like to thank the LGF commenter calling himself “Q” for posting this defense of me. Of course, Q was banned from commenting on LGF for trying to inject sanity into this frenzy. No good deed goes unpunished.
Oh, right! I guess he allows himself an exception, because he needs to use it for the same reason that we do? (To avoid alerting them that he's talking about them). That's hilarious-think he got the idea from reading Bloggie yesterday? What a biter.
What's tinyurl, for those of us that are computer illiterate?
It takes a long url and makes it short. So instead of http://twenty-thousand-letters-and-numbers.com/QSALXIHFDS_ZZ_421344/whatever, you get something like tinyurl.com/a0b1c2, and when you visit that, it just redirects you on to the original link. This has the useful side effect of masking the browser referer field, thus denying the owner of the endpoint server the means to find out where he'd been linked to from. All you see is that it's from tinyurl.com, which means it could be from anywhere.
It's a website where you copy a URL, and it gives you a new, shorter URL, via the tiny.cc site, that re-directs back to the original URL. Supposedly it makes the URL more manageable - less problems with wrapping or breaking long URLs, but many use it to mask the referring website.
Well, Ev was not only faster than me, he also explained it more clearly.
Because of the masking issue, Charles banned it from LGF several years ago. But now he's using it himself for that exact purpose.
Actually, what he banned it for was the obfuscation issue, which is related to the referer masking issue but subtly different. The obfuscation issue is that you can use tinyurl to link to websites that he didn't want you linking to, so he just banned the service entirely.
Which I guess is a good place to point out that you can use tinyurl to get around Bloggie blacklist inconveniences, like when you try to post a URL that contains three 8s in a row. Circumventing the Blacklist for benign reasons like that is perfectly acceptable with us.

Thanks, Meg. Actually, after I'd posted my question I saw that it was a very low number so was probably on a thread that started a short time before the comment, and I managed to find it for myself.
I also noticed quite a few deletions. Not as many on the Death to DL thread, but still, quite a few.
Now I have to go look at this thread to see where we're making our nefarious plans.
I have, in my 'stealth' guise (Charles, that means identity) been working out a lengthy comment to post on your silly-assed (Charles, that means stupid) blog.
I have, however, come to realize that, if I make an intelligent (Charles, that means smart) comment that neither you, nor any of your 'I'm more sycophantic than you' commenters will understand it.

Lord Beaverbrook, the press magnate, was standing in front of a urinal next to someone famous (Gladstone or Disraeli or Lloyd George or WC) and apologized about something said in his newspapers the prior day. The response was that he should, the next time, make his insults in the men's room and his apologies upon the front page.
Upon the evening of June 12th, I became so enraged that I was having difficulty maintaining my decorum. So I wrote Zorkie e-mails totaling about 50 words. By allowing me to vent in private, she helped me to maintain who I am in public.
E&Z have never helped me with a computer, just something far simpler – my sanity. I am grateful that when from time to time I feel I have a riff inside of me which needs playing that they allow me to stick up a GA post. I am also grateful that they allow me to maunder in ordinary blogposts, and to hippolink what strikes my fancy. And without suggesting that they offer private psychiatric service, I am grateful for the private psychiatric service.
Unfortunately for me, Kevin V., my choice of a nick over at LGF was not the best for sock puppetry.
Don't feel too bad, Kev, my 'Stealth Account' at LGF ( I so wish I could link some scary music, here) was the second site I used DWT (the first being Weboggle) which I have now reserved for DL (sorry, folks).
So, if you see a DWT reference somewhere else, it is at least 4 years old.
Apparently we're not the only ones conspiring against LGF.

Charles, now you can update the headline!
Diggbats Continue to Stalk LGF, Digg Admins Do Nothing Did Something!
They did something, yes -- after ignoring at least 3 emails from me.
I'm almost certain, by the way, that they have tweaked their system to stop blogs like LGF from getting to the front page, no matter how many diggs they get. I've seen it over and over; an LGF post gets a lot of diggs, shows up in the 'upcoming' list, then abruptly disappears. LGF posts have had hundreds of diggs in a very short time, and still don't make it to the front page. There's something rotten going on there.
Oh no, the evil Digg is keeping LGF from winning internet popularity contests!
I would just like to say that I have been ruthlessly advancing the fascist agenda today by playing Age of Conan waaaaay too much.
That's funny, I'm going to relax a bit this evening by playing some Civ IV. Lately, I've been playing as "Ron Paul", and it just cracks me up so much to see all the characters in the game saying stuff to me, Ron Paul.

We (TIMG) will be sneaking in here at some point... but, since we refuse to wear false mustaches, we're frantically trying to spontaneously sprout big ol' push-broom mustaches.
Spontaneous is taking a little longer than we had planned.
OMG - do you have any idea how hard it is to stifle snorts of laughter? I'm desperately trying to not laugh 'cause hubbie's sitting across from me working on his laptop, and there's no way I could begin to explain why the conversation about mustaches on BOOL figures is making me LMAO!

#973 Lyana: Shhhh! to clue CJ in to my new stealth nick!
Doh!
Apparently, we're all regrouping under new stealth accounts to make one final siege of the platinum blog.
Sooo... who's responsible for the seige engines? I'm trying to construct a metaphorical trebuchet, but I can't seem to find anything on google. Who's bringing the catapults for cow flinging? And anybody got a cave troll or two we could borrow?
Evrey comment? Most of them are too boring. I'm only picking the (unintentionally) funniest ones. Since he's reading this I wonder if he liked my song.
Well, I really must get some sleep tonight... but I need to dump a few thoughts from my head first.
This whole kerfuffle is just too funny.
To think that CJ banned Q, and accused him of "barely-disguised racism" is just mind-boggling.
That Jourdan's defense of Q became, in CJ's mind, a pro-fascist rant is beyond mind-boggling.
That what followed- our individual realizations that we hadn't posted on the platinum blog, let alone read it, in years... and how funny it would be to see how innocuous a comment we coud post and get banned- somehow became, again in CJ's mind, some sort of fascist-sypathizing assault on the platinum blog... I've already used beyond mind-boggling.
That CJ implied that zork & ev orchestrated said imaginary assult... bmb.
That our tomfoolery was interpreted as anything but... bmb.
That, as afw pointed out, there are platinum bloggers who feel as though they are true heroes for actually surviving their little fact-finding visits to bloggie... bmb

Here's the email:
Charles, I find it funny that you've taken away my account, because it
REALLY does seem that you don't like opposing viewpoints. I did not
seek to air any controversial statements, but I was forced to defend
statements I made on another forum. The irony here, Charles, is that
like many a liberal you are afraid of debate and argument. I am now
satisfied that you're all interested in administering is an echo
chamber.
It's also ironic how you have the temerity to call me "vile" given your
loathsome and primitive reaction to me--that is, your accusation that I
must somehow be connected with an Islamic School that is located in the
sprawl that is Fairfax. Oh no, wouldn't want anyone calling you out on
your own vile tendencies would you? Hence keeping the gates closed.
Anyway, if you have a modicum of principle you will reinstate my
account.
Really, if I had the time- or if I actually cared- I would put together a bunch clips of CJ's (and his platinum heroes') comments and juxtapose them with reality. Plut some of their comments next to ours. It would be comedy gold.

I read a bit of it but it is too sickening (and dull). Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Anyway, it's been fun. I'm tired, and in no mood to proof-read any of this, so hopefully my brain & fingers have been playing nice together. Good night all!
BTW- I am sooo glad that no one here "signs" their comments. That has to be, hands down, the most annoying habit of platinum bloggers.
I've only seen two or three of his comments quoted here - where he (apparently) calls bloggie commenters "crackheads", and Meg quoted his entry where he whines (again) about being dinged at digg. Are those all the comments he's made today? What a loser.
Does Charles sound a little bitter or is it my idea? :-D
He sounds off the wall. In the Vidal thread he derails his own thread at #9. How nuts is that? The conversation until his comment (all 8 until his input) were on topic. Obssessed much?
#986 AM42: You forgot to mention Meg and annie getting banned when they "dinged down" his comments. As Auster puts it
You're telling me that there's a "vote" mechanism that he makes available on every comment, thus soliciting participants to vote yes or no, but if they vote no on HIS comments, they're instantly expelled?
This can't be. It's too far out. It's beyond a parody of totalitarianism.

The ironic thing about my post #3, Franco, is that I thought it was a quiet little thread where a quick note to SR on another topic wouldn't bother anyone.
As much as I get made fun of for saying stupid things, I never whined about "stealth accounts". Can you imagine if I had said that?! Now I can point and laugh at someone's comments! I can even down-ding them with a sock puppet/stealth account. And I know you guys are tired of hearing me talk about the religion of peace or the family values of illegal undocumented immigrants who do jobs Americans won't do, but I've never said that Islam or Mexico were "platinum standards." That's just sickeningly lame.
In today's most pathetic BS, one of the discarded losers is copying every comment I make and posting it over there.
Not to be outdone by the stealthy DL, The owner of the platinum blog (or one of his bootlickers) reads the "crackheads" blog, updates his loyal followers about what goes on there, and claims that- rather than copying a few of his particularly bad, paraniod posts- the banned stealth account people are stalking him. The platinum blog will not allow a lowly blog like DL be more pathetic than them. The platimun blog will be truly pathetic! It will show levels of patheticness that no one has ever imagined! It will be the platinum standard of pathetic behavior! The patheticness will increase by the hour, until one day, platimun blog will be the definition of pathetic BS!
Dang-it ... a whole nuther two hundred fifty posts in the thread? Teacher, you didn't assign this before class was dismissed yesterday! (Waaah).
Oh ... so anyway, where wuzz I? [Right I'll read the extry posts later (it's all about me)]. OK so ummm like uh last night, it dawned on me (and yeah I really, really could care less about LGF. Though sure was surprised a few of ya still posted/participated there).
Chuckles Yawnson is just like Astronaut Peter Craig, in the Twilight Zone episode: The Little People.
The Discarded Lies crackheads are talking about starting up the sock puppet posts again, by the way.
I wonder how paranoid he can get. If we keep on joking about this planning the overthrow of LGF, we'll find out.
I haven't smoked crack in at least ten years. Ooond I'm purdy sure iff'n I wuzz .... I wouldn't be hanging out, online, at any political forums. Let alone LGF. Probably be shuffling off to grab up another rock, then another, then ....
There's also some loser out there who calls his site Instaputz, and he obsesses over Glenn Reynolds.
Seriously, you have to have no talent whatsoever to just sit around and blog other people's material.
Right, because when Charles isn't busy "stalking" the Obama website, he is most certainly not grabbing other peoples' material and adding only 7 or 8 words of original content. No sir, Chuckles is very talented indeed.
In today's most pathetic BS, one of the discarded losers is copying every comment I make and posting it over there.
Go ahead with your bad self, stalker! At least it keeps you off the street.
Let's see, he calls us crack heads. He calls us nazis. He calls us facists. He bans some of us for making comments that disagree with him. He bans some of us for searching his archives. He bans some of us for posting in both places. He bans some of us because our names have been seen here. And, he (apparently) bans some of us from even looking at his site.
Didn't CAIR used to complain about it when CJ would post their remarks from their site? And didn't CJ say, "Get over it, looser?"

#1022 Matt: And then there are the poor lizards whose accounts were stopped because CaJo thought they were DL "stealth accounts."
After all, did she not spend months operating an email defamation campaign against me, trying to destroy my reputation and making outrageous claims about me, all the while I thought she was a sweet and harmless old lady and was friendly with on LGF? I would never even have found out about this had one of the people she'd been trashing me to informed me. She is a destroyer, not a creator. An attention parasite who feeds off others' fame and spends all her time stirring conflicts and creating strife. How can she stand herself? If I was her, I would walk in front of a train.
I'm still working my way down the thread, but this definitely needs to be repeated. Da bitch is crazy. Creepy even.
(I had the "pleasure" of being accidentally CC'd on some wildly stupid emails conversations involving her.)
Well, I'm finally caught up on the entire brouhaha from this weekend and frankly I'm just embarrassed for Charles.
I guess I could get a little rankled at possibly being banned from LGF for posting here for the past four or five years, but I just don't give enough of a damn. It's not even worth the effort to check if the account is still good. The best parts of the old LGF reside here. We ain't missin' much.
Seriously, how can anyone read this thread and come up with conspiracies such as the ones he's spouting is beyond me. He's lost it.

Agreed. This nonsense is probably the most surprising aspect of this entire stupid episode.
I know what you mean. I felt like that for a while too
I'm over it now. I haven't thought about that place "in a coon's age", and once this has passed I'll go on not thinking about it again.
Honestly, LGF is a news aggregator like Instapundit but with commentary. It was that feedback and back and forth in the comments section that made it interesting. That's apparently long dead. Long live Bloggie.

For what it's worth I don't associate with any who diss others out of spite. The truth, to me, is paramount.
And just a month or so ago I ruminated about the many old posters who weren't there anymore and cited you and a few others.
The email was supportive of those who have been unjustly singled out over there and was in no means a slam against DL. The context was the conversation over here of the recent insignificant bannings by the Ventriloquist.
What the Ventriloquist doesn't realize is; his association and implication that Creationists are of the same ilk and ideaology as the Islamists is detestable to not only Christians, but maybe Jews as well. I don't think that realization has hit yet. But it will when all that is left is the puppets.

It's not clear CaJo was necessarily referring to afw, but he did talk about (for example) ev having a bunch of "stealth accounts" that he didn't, so obviously he's suspended accounts of other people. OTOH, if they're hardly ever used, it's probably not that big a disturbance to those people's lives.
And if they emailed him to point out the error, I'm sure he'd reinstate them with good grace.
Yes, it wasn't clear that it was the other AFW (she capitalizes her words and doesn't stick them all together), but he linked to my comment and said it was "taken care of". At the time he did that, my militarybrat account was not banned, IIRC.
And I haven't been banned from viewing "The Promised Land", either.

After reviewing Q's recent posts, and the links he's been posting, his barely-disguised racism is no longer welcome at LGF.
#1111 Trillian: Johnson had replied approvingly to a comment by someone who goes by "Render" smearing Lawrence Auster and some others as "neo-Nazis". (In his reply, Johnson added that Richard Miniter and Diana West are neo-fascists.) solus posted to point out that Auster and Jobling (also named in Render's post) were not neo-Nazis, and that's pretty much why he got shitcanned. The reason was claimed to be that Johnson had discovered a history of racism in solus/Q's posts. The real reason was of course that Johnson cannot stand one bit of criticism, especially not Auster's devastating, impeccably correct criticism of his methods, and he was displeased that the dishonest, factually inaccurate smears he was letting stand on LGF were not going unchallenged.
You're not serious. Well I suppose you are. I guess I'd assumed that the trigger for a meltdown or such Chernobylesque proportions would be something a little more, well, actually offensive. Or at least potentially offensive. Or at least mildly controversial. Does Charles have hysterical fits when his computer says "you've got mail"?
Does Charles have hysterical fits when his computer says "you've got mail"?
Yes, because any mail that does not thoroughly lick his balls or contain gifts or cash is apparently "hate mail". See #986 AM42 for an example of an innocuous email that he characterized as hate mail, then posted, as if completely unaware of how insane and disconnected from reality it would prove him to be.
I'm sure Charles would have loved nothing better than his "lizards" coming to Bloggie to defend him, that's why he linked to this thread and that's what he always does, he links to whichever blog attracts his daily wrath and encourages his posters to go defend his reputation. Apparently his "lizards" are not as willing to go fight his battles as he thinks they are.

When I started posting at LGF, I remember him whining about LGFWatch having photoshopped him in a polka-dot dress. He linked to LGFWatch so we could all see the injustice done to him and that we should go there to defend his wardrobe, but I couldn't stop laughing at his whining and at the polka-dot dress.
Some conservative bloggers are asking the question: Why Isn’t There a Conservative Daily Kos?
I have a simple answer: I don’t want to be the “conservative Daily Kos.” This is Little Green Footballs. It’s nothing like Daily Kos, and that’s by design.
Go ahead and argue over the theoretical aspects of ideological viewpoints, and political advocacy, and how much to police comments. I guess someone has to do it.

Charles has the thankless or boring task of showing morons the door.
BTW - the source of Kos' power is that journalists read the blog to figure out how and what to report, much like they used to with Drudge. "Edgy" news sells, and every journo wants part of the Olberman era.
Charles has his spinoff links and his own posts, which would give a journalist the same capability as Kos but from a different (eg sane) perspective.
They ruined there party but pushing them so far left and should get blown out ever year year. But the Republicans and there spending are trying to keep it competitive.

Squealer, a small fat porker, serves as Napoleon's public speaker and minister of propaganda. Inspired by Vyacheslav Molotov and the Soviet paper Pravda, Squealer manipulates the language to excuse, justify, and extol all of Napoleon's actions. He represents all the propaganda Stalin used to justify his own heinous acts. In all of his work, George Orwell made it a point to show how politicians used language. Squealer limits debate by complicating it and he confuses and disorients, making claims that the pigs need the extra luxury they are taking in order to function properly, for example. However, when questions persist, he usually uses the threat of Mr. Jones's return as justification for the pigs' privileges. Squealer uses statistics to convince the animals that life is getting better and better. Most of the animals have only dim memories of life before the revolution; therefore, they are convinced.
She's the one who writes for the Washington Times, right?
Yes, I guess so. But I don't understand your characterization. I'm not that familiar with her, but from what I've seen of her writings, she is a strident anti-illegal-immigrationist who warns of the dangers of the Islamic Jihad against the West. Am I missing some piece of the puzzle?

I never thought that Squealer was Molotov. I always thought him Vishinsky or Voroshilov. Is there some reason why no bloggie nics start with V?
Has anyone noticed (or am I the only obssessive around here?) that if you try to click on Auster's link which leads to the Other Plaice, you get redirected to a dancing Snoopy in blinding flashing lights.
What a childish tantrum to play. At least if he'd redirect to the IDF site (or Obama's website for that matter) it'd make more snese.
V the K is chopped liver? Or in this context, ham chops? (Is there such a thing? I'm not exactly an expert :-p)
Well, Annie, as a piece of trivia you will never have occasion to use in your daily life, there are such things as 'smoked' pork chops, which go through exactly the same curing process as ham, and are therefore just exactly as yummy (or horrifying, depending on your personal food beliefs ).
No need to apologize for its yumminess, DWT. Just because I can't partake of the yumminess doesn't make it any less yummy. Now I'm hungry. What shall I make for supper?
Is anyone else having pleasant regurgitations of lady red's "paranoid honky ass" line throughout the day?
I burst into laughter while I was on the treadclimber today remembering it. That and Meg's voting CJ's comments down have just stayed with me, and I think it might make me look a bit nuts to those around me.
Lots of fallout today from the Associated Press’s self-defeating decision to threaten legal action against web sites that link to and quote their articles. Techcrunch says they’re banning the AP: Here’s Our New Policy On A.P. stories: They’re Banned.
Not a bad idea, but kind of difficult to carry out, since the Associated Press is literally everywhere, and many news sites often use sections of AP articles combined with their own reporting.
But I’ll gladly join this movement; until the AP climbs down from this caveman approach, there will be no more links to AP stories in front page articles at LGF.

I forecast its market failure. solus' threadline is correct.
This is yet-another major setback for Canadian auto manufacturing: GM closes the Oshawa Silverado plant (2,600 direct jobs lost, plus supplier jobs); Oshawa "gains" production of the new Camaro dinosaur (yeah, the world needs a 6.0L two seat coupe getting 15 mpg); Ford Oakville gets the Flex; Chrysler Canada is saddled with the equally low-sales Challenger dinosaur (see Camaro above); and the Crown Vic plant in St. Thomas is soon gone.
Pity. The "Big" 3 are building some damn' good product, but whoever their respective market strategists are/were, should be fired. The lull of easy SUV profits through the 90's-early00's will kill them, I forecast.
Wow they're going to be bringing the Fiesta back. Who'da thunk it?
Solus - I see you stuck up for you-know-who, you-know-where. Good work.
#3 Jourdan: I've been meaning to tell you I loved your mother's comment.
Also, solus, good comment-I followed the link just to read it. Pearls before swine.
Thanks, Ev. It was classic mom. Every once and a while she floors me.
I feel like I just walked into a secret BOYS ONLY! meeting in the treehouse.
So I looked for Solus on the link and didn't find him. Directions?
The comment that got me banned. I hope you're all happy.
But now I'm even more curious! You know who? You know what?
I don't know any of this!!! And I'm nosy!
Is there some kind of estrogen block on finding the comment?
#10 airforcewife: LOL, we're talking about this, and the LGF thread linked therefrom.
So is Charles Johnson voting for Obama since he's being so careful about not appearing racist?
Thrilled! His/their loss.
I'm not banned yet.
But I haven't posted there in about 2 years.
Wow. CJ is such a hysterical little bitch.
So what are we doing to celebrate solus's banning? I'm having a Coke but I can switch to a Bloody Mary.
Heh. Six years and change, actually.
I'm having fried green tomatoes and Vidalia onion relish!
#17 zorkmidden: I'm thinking cognac.
Whoa, let's take stock here.
- I'm eating fried green tomatoes
- I own a pickup truck
- I say y'all
... I think assimilation is complete.
Ooh! That sounds good too except it'll make me pass out.
Actually, I have a bottle of champagne I'm going to open in honour of this event.
I don't have proper champagne but I have a bottle of Barefoot Bubbly. Although, it is a bit late on a school night to start drinking.
#24 סטרמי Stormi: It's not like he gets banned every day! Make an exception for the boy.
Charles Johnson says:
Here's what actually happened. It reflects profoundly badly on Horowitz, not Auster. Johnson puts himself in a very sleazy light by using that as a context-free argument from authority against Auster. But then, as Auster has demonstrated, the guy specializes in context-free, dishonest smears.I guess afw and I may be the only DLers still welcome at lgf. I even composed a short piece:
I decided there was no point in posting it.
FWIW, I only post about half of the posts I start here too.
To solus! May you go around the internet being banned like champagne bubbles popping in the air!
I'm not banned, but I seriously doubt I can remember my password.
Na zdorovye!
The method of Charles Johnson is the ultimate factual analysis of Johnson's tactics by Auster.
To solus!
Unless there's actual blood of a virgin there, I fail to see the point of that.
Even though I disagree with Auster more often than not, he expresses his opinions in the most coherent, analytical and non-hysterical manner in the internet. That's something Charles Johnson has never been able to do.
Unless there's actual blood of a virgin there, I fail to see the point of that.
What a timely article.

Champagne? It pops.
I think he was referring to the Bloody Mary.
Л'хаим, бояре.
I'm not banned, but I seriously doubt I can remember my password.

Yes, I know. I was making a joke about virgins and popping and...ah, forget it.
+1 comment ratings for everyone!
Yes, I know. I was making a joke about virgins and popping and...ah, forget it.
D'oh!
I will just put my red plastic helmet back on and return to the back of the bus where I shall resume licking the window.
#42 סטרמי Stormi: No, no, it's not you. No one is getting my jokes lately. I feel to be depressed.
So where's Kevin's mom's comment?
+6 for the blogowners!
#46 zorkmidden: And for Kevin's mom's comment, wherever it may be!
I repeat comment 32.
Jefe's "huzzah!" reminded me of a movie I was watching that had a Greek translation. The characters were toasting and yelling "Huzzah!" and the translator didn't know that expression so he translated it as "Hussars!"
I stole that line immediately, of course.
Oh yeah, moms always get double plus good!
So where's Kevin's mom's comment?
On this page.
Even RWC's mom? If you need an excuse for her poor treatment on Bloggie, try accusing her of thinly veiled racism. That's going to be my standard excuse.
- I'm eating fried green tomatoes
- I own a pickup truck
- I say y'all
... I think assimilation is complete.
On this page.
Oh, snap!
What a timely article.
For once, Saletan makes sense.
Congratulations, solus!
At least you got banned openly, for an actual post (you racist!)
, and not stealthily and for no apparent reason
like I was.
Hmmm. I wonder what I gotta do to get banned. I'd like to be in the club too.
First, you have to remember your password ...
:-P
There's always a catch.
I decided there was no point in posting it.
FWIW, I only post about half of the posts I start here too.
I don't think I'm welcome there, per se. I think that my LGF nic and my DL nic have not been connected.
Because I don't post there. Although I do occasionally log in. I'm not sure why.
Doesn't cba still comment there occassionally?
OK, I added that to my "LGF Swansongs" bookmarks.
So it's right below "R**g*n*te Swansong" and "R*yr* Swansong" and "Prelude to G*d's C*hosen P*eople Excommunication".
Woohoo! Congratulations solus!
:-P
Doh!
At least you got banned openly, for an actual post (you racist!)
Heh, thanks. Jews defend goyim, and goyim blame the Jews...
Although status of Auster's Tribe Membership is a complicated matter, I suppose.
Congrats, Solus.
And you too, AFW.
Jiminy Christmas, but that was pathetic.
Like Stormi, I'm wondering what I can do to get myself banned.
I'm dedicating the last third of this bottle of Heineken to solus.
Solus - I am sorry to see you banned at LGF. I for the life of me cannot figure out why there cannot be a debate on this issue there and why people who have been around LGF a very long time are being banned.
I understand Auster's critique of Charles, though I do not share his conclusions and believe that they are stated to stridently.
I also understand where Charles is coming from on the issue of racism, though I believe he does not make a distinction between those who argue race realism out of love for their people and those who argue supremacy out of hatred or spite.
I wish people would extend more moral credit to each other.
Kevin, I see you've joined the club, too.
Yeah, me too. I honestly--and I realize that I am not objective here--do not think this is justified.
I've posted there for many years and everyone knows where I stand on such issues.
Sigh.
I can't help but be saddened by this.
ps> if any of you guys really want to get banned, I would imagine that all you have to do is say "I agree with Q and Jourdan". That should do it.
Garçon! More champagne!
We should send Kevin's mom over to give Johnson a piece of her mind.
Wow. Judging solely by his reply to Jourdan's (thoughtful and considered) comment, Charles Johnson is nothing more than a glib thug.
You don't say....
Here you go.
Yeah, me too. I honestly--and I realize that I am not objective here--do not think this is justified.
I've posted there for many years and everyone knows where I stand on such issues.
Sigh.
I can't help but be saddened by this.
ps> if any of you guys really want to get banned, I would imagine that all you have to do is say "I agree with Q and Jourdan". That should do it.
Oh, it's on now, baby.
As soon as I can log in (this "Checking credentials..." b.s. seems to be interminable) I'm gonna seen what I can do to get banned too.
It looks like I've triggered an avalanche.
So am I, actually. LGF used to be a valuable resource.LOL
Seriously, I feel badly about this.
I guess it's because I associate my time at LGF with the early days of this struggle, after the 2001 attacks, when I thought that my people and my government would rally and do the right thing, and so much of what I love and thought has proved to be just absolutely wrong, to be things that reject me and everything I believe in.
So, now to be rejected at LGF, well, it's just one more thing from a time in my life where I thought that most people on the right shared my views at heart. Instead, it turns out that I am one of a hopelessly outnumbered minority, yesterday's men, whose world, it seems, is slated for Trotsky's ashbin.
I remembered my password!!!
So am I, actually. LGF used to be a valuable resource.
Dammit! I make one freakin' comment over there in two years... and now you two have to go and prove me wrong ; )
AM42 -
Thanks for the moral support; much appreciated!
Disagreeing with Charles? That's a banning. Sticking up for another commenter? That's a banning. Charles thinks you're a DL regular? Yep.
So did I, at first...I have a hunch you'll get over it :-)
What that a banning, AM42?
WAS that a banning, I mean
#84 Jefe: LMAO! SRSLY LMAO!
Here you go.
Beautiful as usual.
Jefe - Love the picture!
Evariste - Yeah, I know, it just stinks. I prefer the old days. Damn I'm getting old saying shit like that.
Don't feel badly -- if anything, feel bad.
'Cause if you feel badly, you might have leprosy or something, and no one wants that.
What did I tell ya, Lewis?
Insta-banning.
Insta-banning.
He's really gonna lose his shit over my post then.
-- Charles Johnson, Little Green Footballs, June 12, 2008
Ah, my new masthead has arrived!!!
#87 Jourdan: I'll just assume it was. Doesn't particularly matter.
AM's comment score is -6. LMAO. "That'll show him," yelled the sixth Lizard as he voted it down. Minus five wasn't enough, but minus six will really teach him a lesson he won't soon forget.
D00D! He deleted it!
He's really gonna lose his shit over my post then.
Ms. Stormi, I presume?
Well, now our posts have all been deleted.
That's cowardly, that is.
And Amy Foo's too!
I blinked and missed it. The final tally in -7.
LMAO!
That's cowardly, that is.
You were all a threat to LGF security :-)
Lewis, I deleted your comment. Don't link to the thread!
Down the memory hole!
So what did Ms Stormi say in her deleted comment?
Blinked during yours too. Is proving to be a costly habit.
What did you say, Stormi? I didn't get a chance to read it.
LMAO!
Yikes, I know I haven't visited the site a lot recently, but these posts all seems to be people saying "you are soooo right, charles, we love you!"
I'm getting diabetes reading this stuff.
The followers must be protected from experiencing cognitive dissonance from watching their deified leader being challenged.
I was wondering what happened to it.
Didn't realize that was a breach of protocol (or whatever).
I was quoting AM42's 'Damn, and I thought Obama had thin skin'.
I should have copied and pasted what I wrote. D'oh!
Went something like this: The braintrust you have over here, honestly, I've wiped better off my shoe. This used to be a place to get good information, now it's nothing more than a tedious echo chamber jam-packed with hysterical bitches. Nobody moves even a step out of formation out of fear of being shouted down or banned. You're like the Borg. I have to wonder if you all really think the same or if you're just too scared to say something different. But in either case, I can't really be bothered to care.
#96 evariste: LOL! I'm crying here!
#112 Lewis: not really a protocol, but no one had linked yet, so why start now? Screw him, let him wonder. He'll probably figure it out without too much trouble but why make it easy?
My original comment surreptisuously survives as a quote in Charles's one. Deleting own comments must be too painful.
I was wondering what happened to it.
Didn't realize that was a breach of protocol (or whatever).
Nah, no protocol. We just don't want to give him any joy between his thighs in his referrer page.
LMAO!
Man, inflation's a bitch. It used to just be 17. Do not mention the terrible comments 234 through 264!
That says it all right there. Good comment, Stormi.
LGF has been banned by the USAF for a hell of a lot longer than bloggie, but while bloggie's category is 'blogs/opinion', LGF's was 'violence/hate speech'.
Stormi - Thanks for sticking up for us. Nice post. He saw it and he read it, I'm sure.
I'm crying too!
Heh.
Heh. Not anymore. All he left was the 'Go away'. Childish, non?
So who else is in tonight's additions to the Legion of Honouor besides Solus, Kevin and Lewis?
You're not allowed to have an opinion in the Air Force?
#126 franco cbi: Amy Foo and Stormi?
Me too. Charles' #263 contains the entirety of my comment:
And that, my friends, is a banning.
#130 Lewis: not any more it doesn't!
Heh. Not anymore. All he left was the 'Go away'. Childish, non?
#237. Still there, for now.
Stormi's LGF swansong: Take that, bitches.
See, that is what is so sad about this. Charles complains about crypto-fascists on the right and he is blissfully unaware that the USG and its liberal establishment consider him in the same light that he considers us.
It doesn't occur to him that if we're beyond the pale, he is too.
He's drawing a distinction that no one in power shares.
I should have used more four letter words. And said something about his mom.
Evariste, man, that is F-U-N-N-Y.
Woo, what a laugh.
Thanks, I needed that.
Me too. Charles' #263 contains the entirety of my comment:
D'oh! Not no more.
I can't believe what a biatch this guy became.
Since at least 2004, LGF has been banned on Air Force networks. Early 2004 too. Possibly even late 2003, since I remember looking at it right before I went to Spain, but then as soon as I got back I couldn't read it at work anymore.
I just quoted his bannybanban comments and added...
I can't believe his ego's so fragile that he actually deleted it.
You're being generous. Glib?
You're being generous. Glib?
SRSLY.
Jefe should grow a beard... and jump right in with the Fat-Assed Housewives.
-click below for full size-:

I want to say to him, "you keep using that word. I do not believe it means what you think it does."
#141 joem: hmm, maybe that word doesn't mean what I think it does? I didn't mean glib in any good sense, but rather to connote shallowness and a certain sliminess.
Has zulubaby been banned over there yet?
#146 joem: I doubt it very much. I think she still keeps on good terms with him.
But glib also means quick with a clever word.
#145 evariste - no, I meant the word "fascist", LOL.
ev, is your account still open there?
English is hard. Let's go shopping!
He's not getting any hate mail from me. Despite everything, we need all the anti-Islamists we can get.
I'm sure many of the people reading LGF today will read and look into matters themselves.
Probably.
Meg wins.
I voted down the posts where he bans people.
I don't know about the people reading LGF but the people posting on LGF probably won't. They're not there to think they're there to worship Charles.
#300 evariste 6/12/08 9:01:36 pm
You should totally go for it, if you can.
LMAO. Awesome.
Me neither. I just figured since it was my last comment there I might as well make it nice and inflammatory. I can't actually be bothered to give that much of a shit.
LMAO!!
I think you are more correct than I. I was thinking of it meaning "quick answer", but it seems to have the connotation you intended:
m-w: glib
Why add a comment rating system if you can't vote down bad comments?
I still had a tab open, so I took a screen shot. It's very nice... suitable for framing even.
Meg is killing me with her logic.
LMAO!
Surely you don't mean to criticize The Charles by this, do you?
Don't you realize you risk ba --- oh, wait, nevermind.
Hate mail is definitely not my style. It's making personal what mustn't be.
#158 Lewis: I despise him too much to leave a comment on his blog, even if it is in order to get banned. After the way he treated me, after a long and friendly acquaintance and all the support, both tangible and moral, that I gave him, I'm not giving him the satisfaction of deleting my comment and banning me "for cause" (which you can tell he really relishes doing). If he knows he hasn't banned my account and he's just waiting for a reason, then good, let him wait. If he doesn't, I'm not going to give him any "joy in his thighs", as zorkie says, by popping up to further validate his persecution complex.
169 comments on a thread about the Ford Flex... Mr Rex has him some mojo.
Are you the poison pen, Frank?
'Tweren't me neither.
Though I wouldn't be adverse to sending him a more-or-less respectful e-mail outlining his kneejerk nutiness, but it turns out that I can't be bothered.
Just think... someday we'll all be able to look back upon this and share a good laugh.
#162 joem: awesome. Then my excuse is that my native tongue is Archaic English.
Idiot: "Wasn't that the language Jesus spoke?"
Me: "No, you're thinking of Aramaic."
This Charles guy gets offfended over nothing. And his followers are crazy and can't stand when people criticize him or have different opinions.
Like Pol Pot, they ban everyone over 12 years old.
I want to say "LMAO, Mohammed!" But it just sounds wrong.
I'm terrible about answering email in general, I can't even think of bothering with hate mail.
What I find funny in this is that Bloggie got delinked by Charles Johnson for publishing comments by a poster who was too far to the left for his tastes and now our commenters get banned for supporting someone too far to the right for his tastes. So much for debate.
Just checked and I'm still kosher. Anyone who wants to say something, I'll be more than happy to post.
And then get banned,
I think florrie's still good as well.
#177 Mohammed the Prophet (peace be upon me): LOL to the i times π.
LOL... no. If I don't like you, I'll tell it to your face, preferably with as many other people around.
Could you find out if Ev is still kosher, Fay?
#169 solus rex:
#174 Lewis:
Not me, neither. I save all my hate mail for Dave Barry.
That will almost certainly get me banned, since he's probably watching all that crap like a hawk.
And then get banned,
I think florrie's still good as well.
My account's still good too.
Not that I give a rat's ass...
LOL... no. If I don't like you, I'll tell it to your face, preferably with as many other people around.
And with a big guy in front of you for protection :-)
I'd have to have ev's pw to do that. Now when you log in you get a "checking your credentials" message. How friggin sissy is that.
What I find funny in this is that Bloggie got delinked by Charles Johnson for publishing comments by a poster who was too far to the left for his tastes and now our commenters get banned for supporting someone too far to the right for his tastes. So much for debate.
What I find amusing is that in a thread bashing fascists, he acts in such a dictatorial - one might say, "fascist" - way himself. Ironic, innit.
#192 franco cbi: no link to LGF!
#191 Fay: No, you just need to search for a person's comments, and click on their nick. It will tell you if their account has been deemed too dangerous.
Ooops, I should have used tinyurl, sorry.
Ooh!
Hmmm... why is Ev calling joem by my name?
Aha, will do.
BTW, my #194 was NOT in response to #193.
Wow, what a whiny little bitch.
Well here is the result when I search for evariste in LGF Comments:
Is that weird or what. It's not actually coming up with any comments from ev. Does that mean that CJ deleted all of ev's comments? Can't be, can it?
#203 AM42: Wait until he looks under his bed.
#202 zorkmidden: What a jerk. I think I'll delete all of my bookmarks to that site.
Search again, Fay, maybe you'll find it if you try again.
#207 franco cbi: Pull your pants down and get me my leather belt.
Oh dear, Mr. Spock just got himself banned, too.
LOL!
Actually one of the very first things that started my turning away from Charles was that the last two or three donations I made to him (cash plus about 6 items off his wish list) were never even acknowledged. That pissed me off big time, especially as I made the last donation at a time I was out of work.
Just listen to Frank, Fay - you'll get banned without even commenting (or even rating), as I did.
The quote was a joke based on his past behaviour with jinnderella--he would ban her until she bought him something and then he'd let her back in.
I think there's some deal where the LGF search defaults to a date range of one year in the past.
I'm confident that there's a way to tell the search to use a different date range, but I'm too much of a technotard to figure out what it is.
Same here, I was searching for the Weatherman's mixing, and I hadn't commented in over a year.
That's how it started with me.
I'm confident that there's a way to tell the search to use a different date range, but I'm too much of a technotard to figure out what it is.
Yes, there's a little calendar that you can click on to change the search range. The first time date you click is the start date, and the second date you click will be the end date. I had tried it earlier tonight... to see what, exactly, was so terrible about SR's comments.
Someone asked who the twelve people CJ has banned tonight are:
Hall of Fame!
The quote was a joke based on his past behaviour with jinnderella--he would ban her until she bought him something and then he'd let her back in.
Are you shiatting me? That's nucking futs.
I gave him money once, and bought him a couple things off the wish list another time. Never got an acknowlegement or thank you, but then again, I wasn't expecting one. They weren't really life-changing donations or anything.
OTOH, Ace and Goldstein both sent me thank-youse for my pissant little donations.
I don't really have a feel for the proper ettiquette here. I myself am pretty crap at sending people thank-you cards, and I wasn't at all offended by the lack of one.
I have no time for good English.
Hall of Fame!
Wow, September 1 2006 all over again.
The quote was a joke based on his past behaviour with jinnderella--he would ban her until she bought him something and then he'd let her back in.
Oh. I hadn't bothered to wade into that shallow pool again to see what was "going on". But Fay's #210 proves what a classless ingrate he is. I knew about the egoism bordering on narcissism, but that really turns me off even more.
#218 Lewis: Yeah, she used to come to Bloggie and brag about it.
Yes, there's a little calendar that you can click on to change the search range. The first time date you click is the start date, and the second date you click will be the end date. I had tried it earlier tonight... to see what, exactly, was so terrible about SR's comments.
Oh yeah, I saw that, and clicked the shiat out of them, but they didn't do diddly-squat.
Probably some goofy security setting on my work computer wouldn't allow it to work correctly.
I made a donation of one cent for every comment I had made up to the date - it turned out to be in the low three figures. He never acknowledged.
And the folks over on G*d's C*hosen P*eople said the same thing.
Good thing you're on an immigrant blog.
Guess what blog just linked to DL!
G*C*P?

Okay, finally figured it out. And yes, ev's account is still kosher. Still links to DL as well.
#221 joem: Yeah, it turned me off a long time ago.
#223 Lewis: I actually did get a list of his comments, and read through several. Imagine my surprise when- after going through a dozen or so recent comments- I couldn't find the terrible "barely-disguised racism" that got him banned.
Hall of Fame!
Free the DL 12 (or 6)!
Well, I'll tell you one thing... it wasn't Things in my Garage!
Are you shiatting me? That's nucking futs.
Yeah, she bragged about it.
Well, I'll tell you one thing... it wasn't Things in my Garage!
LMAO!
Oh fuckity fuck. Derangement rules.
#225 zorkmidden: LOL!
BTW, z&e, I apologize in advance for whatever idiocity (yes, that is so a word) inevitalby finds it's way here as a result of our fun tonight. I know that you're probably used to it, but I'm sure it's still annoying nonetheless. FWIW, I needed a good laugh tonight (nothing terrible) and this certainly did the trick. Anyway, thanks for hosting this great cheese blog of yours. It certainly is one of a kind. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I have something in my eye...
I second what amyfoo said and am off to bed. Sweet dreams people.
LMAO!
#239 AM42: all in good fun. The best revenge is a good, hearty laugh at the overwrought hysterics of the mutual fainting society he's got going on there.
I didn't realize Johnson had made Fjordman an unperson. I guess he was too racist?
And we've been laughing for years :-)
Turd Ferguson?!?
I think it's funny how he announces so seriously "And yes, they're watching this thread" like he's not watching this thread.
Well, out of curiosity I went to ToP™ and see that solus, Kevin and Lewis are all banned. It reminds me of the hysterical lefties that try to stifle speech other than their own by shouting and carrying on. God forbid someone might have a different viewpoint.
Pathetic.
Turd Ferguson?!?
#246 floranista: Hooray, florrie's here! Now it's a party!
LOL, btw : )
#248 floranista: joem made a good point here.
I don't think I'm banned either but I have zero interest in posting there.
Not any more...
Whew..off the phone....what did I miss?
Oh...wow.
A bottle of champagne, a bag of potato chips, some leftover chicken mcnuggets and a lot of giggling.
#255 evariste: Creepy was the word that came to my mind earlier too. And he should really lose the ponytail, we're in the 21st century now.
Just more episodes in the ongoing meltdown of Charles Johnson, to the cheers of two appreciative audiences (with varying motivations).
Meg, same here, lol!!
I guess everyone from DL is blocked.
florrie
#258 evariste: Soap opera beats movie once again.
The poor man exists in a hell of his own making, and he turns up the heat every day and makes it even worse as he continues to root out all intelligence in search of followers who will not question but will only slaver and drool. I almost feel sorry for him. He should get a dog instead.
Okay, it takes a long time to move me to anger on stuff like this and I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt. It's one thing to ban people and say you don't think their views are appropriate. It's quite another to act as if you just uncovered some secret fascist cabal that was this close to taking over the country but for your brave actions. This is painful to watch.
Right on, bro.
#263 evariste: but a dumb breed, not a border collie. Otherwise he'll end up banning his own dog.
But very entertaining.
LOL, btw : )
Yes, zorkie, good point.
LMAO!!
See what I mean? That is just nuts. Since Charles won't let you see the posts that got us banned, LGF folks, this great crusade was caused by.....two people making a distinction between David Duke/Ku Klux Klan and conservatives like Larry Auster and Pat Buchanan.
#262 evariste: I'm LMAO that now we're all fascist sympathizers.
Note to lurkers: See this post if you're in the mood for a little irony.
I hope packen sees the "outing Soviet spies" comment, she'll have a good laugh.
#271 AM42: Some of us are communist fascist sympathizers! Don't downgrade us, bro!
I may as well just quit my job... this is just too good to miss even a second of it.
I just don't get what he's so afraid of (sorry, Sister).
If there is an appalling/racist/whatever comment, isn't it best to let is stand for all to see?
I got angry at the protesters in SF who disrupted the Israel 60th birthday celebrations but at the same time I felt grateful to live in a place where such a thing can happen.
Please don't ban me for saying that.
I'm jus keeeeeding!!!
#273 zorkmidden: Nice work, comrade. You just gave up another one of our best spies.
BTW, LOL... on everything you've ever posted... since the beginning of time... here and on all of the other internets as well.
Good night from Oregon, y'all. Sleep well.
Note to lurkers: See this post if you're in the mood for a little irony.
Did realwest ever explain his lies about his father and 9/11, btw? He's been pissed at DL ever since Point of Order took his fictional story apart.
Good night, Jourdan.
Your mom rocks :-)
Hmmm... I notice that packen hasn't posted here in a while. I say we give her five minutes to account for herself.
BTW, LOL... on everything you've ever posted... since the beginning of time... here and on all of the other internets as well.
Aww, how sweet! You just got a ten percent salary increase. May you be a shining example to all comrades.
G'night Kevin!
#282 zorkmidden: Oh, for the love of all that is good in this world... why do you give me something else to look up? Do you never want me to go to bed?
Why do you hate me, zorkie? Why?
Her doggie has been sick so she hasn't been around much.
Hmph. Well, I imagine my account is now toast as well.
[Invis-O-Text™: ON]
Good thing they don't know about my three secret accounts. Remember: the wildebeast flies at midnight, comrades. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
[Invis-O-Text™: OFF]
Why do you hate me, zorkie? Why?
I thought you knew! It was a big scandal for about a second for all three people who read that thread.
ROFLMAO!!!
See what I mean? That is just nuts. Since Charles won't let you see the posts that got us banned, LGF folks, this great crusade was caused by.....two people making a distinction between David Duke/Ku Klux Klan and conservatives like Larry Auster and Pat Buchanan.
Not Pat Buchanan, who is truly contemptible. Ian Jobling. Big difference.
#285 zorkmidden: +5
Good night Kevin... and everyone else out there.
Even you, CJ ; )
Charles Johnson:
This is hilarious. Is he just straight-up lying, or is he banning unrelated accounts that he thinks are mine? Because I haven't logged in to LGF in, like, 5 years. None of them were "stealth accounts", they were just either "evariste" or "ev and zorkie", or they were silly things like "Wooden Bender", "Colossal Bender", and a few other Benders (when I was posting some silly Futurama riffs). But I think all the Benders were pre-registration, so they were just nicks of mine. He says he's found 5 accounts of mine, but I really don't think I ever registered 5 accounts. 3 tops? When mandatory registration came around, I think I wasn't really a very regular poster any more.Anyway, too many words. The point is, he's either deliberately lying or deluded.
Her doggie has been sick so she hasn't been around much.
Oh, poor doggie. I hope he feels better.
Anyway, I was trying to poke fun at this, but I should have
known better to expect an immigrant to get the jokemade myself more clearerer.And now I'm going to bed.
After a few dozen more comments, though.
Good night AM and Kevin, and don't take your banning to heart. Think of it like leaving Scientology, you just escaped from a ponytailed Tom Cruise. Except taller.
#294 AM42: oh-LMAO! I missed that. Good one :-)
Scientology, too, often fraudulently claims to be on the receiving end of "hate mail". So that's one thing they have in common.
#296 zorkmidden: Oh, goodness no. My only intent was to see exactly how insecure he was. Answer: Off the charts.
LOL!#296 zorkmidden: LOL!!
"Stealth accounts", "Soviet spies", "negative feedback loop", "warping values", these guys think that they're in a Hollywood movie. People! It's a blog! You're posting on some stupid blog! You're not superheroes and Charles Johnson is no Bruce Willis!
By the way, I missed remarking on the most hilarious Charles Johnson comment of all, the one in which the he presumes to define who is and is not a conservative. Charles Johnson was a bike-riding liberal Californian musician/web development dilettante/Bush hater until the morning of 9/11/2001. Then he instantly became the same collection of adjectives, minus "Bush hater", plus "Muslim hater". That makes him the arbiter of conservatism? Charles Johnson, same guy who applauded Michael Schiavo's struggle to legally murder his disabled wife? He, like Bush himself, represents nothing more than the destruction of conservatism by fraudulent pretenders.
Now, if it were a world-renowned cheese blog like DL, it would make sense. Cheese blogs are serious business.
People who take themselves so seriously are just begging to be made fun of. (Sorry, sister.)
Now, if it were a world-renowned cheese blog like DL, it would make sense. Cheese blogs are serious business.
Except we'd never say such stupid things like "stealth accounts", we'd stick with "roquefort" and "gloucester". We might even go as far as "Lincolnshire Cheddar", but "stealth accounts"? Please.
This week was the first time I've been up past midnight in like six months. I feel like such a rebel with my stealth accounts and late-night computer hackery.
I bet when I do finally go to bed I'll have a dream where I'm a ninja.
Plus she's had to deal with the flooding there. I will email her this thread so she won't miss anything :-)
Thios deserves a special episode of BOOL.
Maybe he hopes to be appointed to the U.N., in the "Fascists And How To Spot Them" committee.
I bet when I do finally go to bed I'll have a dream where I'm a ninja.
LMAO!
So Meg gets banned and immediately she wants to put me to work.
LOL, big time. We'll have to distract Tartuffo with McNuggets and then butter zorkie up with anchovies to talk her into doing another episode. BTW, I liked how he called you "someone named Megan".
What you need to do is ban her and then post a pompous statement about how you need to take out the trash and stuff. That'll show those ingrates.
#314 gutterfiend: I would ban her but she works security in Ferkakta. And with stealth accounts flying left and right, we need all the security we can get.
So my stealth account has in fact been locked. Curses, foiled again.
#314 gutterfiend: LOL!
Man. The thread gets funnier and funnier, but every joke just highlights, in ever-starker relief, what a ridiculous human being Charles Johnson is.
I'm sure Franco will be writing a BOOL episode on this thread tomorrow :-D
[Invis-O-Text™: ON]
Good thing they don't know about my three secret accounts. Remember: the wildebeast flies at midnight, comrades. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
[Invis-O-Text™: OFF]
Hmm, gutterfiend and toast. Now what does that remind you of?
Hey, so I've been meaning to ask, how do you do that thing where you just have the link to the comment and the person's name instead of replying to the whole comment? I looked in the faq but I didn't see it there.
And that stuff about Jesus in the faq still makes me giggle hysterically. I am so going to hell.
This is the funniest car thread ever.
Good night, Amy Foo!
#320 gutterfiend: Shift-reply!
gutterfiend, just hit shift the same time you click on "reply" in the comment box.
#320 gutterfiend: shift-reply!
Yikes! I missed a whole gigantic thread while I was sleeping. And apparently it's funny too! ::sniff:: no one waited for me...
Now I shall slink off and read all the comments and be back at midday... and then I shall bombard bloggie with all my own silly jokes and no one will be awake to counteract them. Bwa ha ha ha!
We need to update the FAQ. But do you want BOOL or do you want an updated FAQ?
#323 zorkmidden: My God! It's amazing!
Hmm, I see I'm late to the party.
#327 annie: Just keep your stealth accounts handy...
#329 gutterfiend: LOL!!
BOOL. But only if I get to be a ninja. Otherwise I vote for the faq.
How do these people function in real life?
Oh man, I forgot to shift-click.
My question too.
Wow, that's a good question.
I thought that Thios must be a Greek guy from a thread I missed :-D
Now I shall slink off and read all the comments and be back at midday... and then I shall bombard bloggie with all my own silly jokes and no one will be awake to counteract them. Bwa ha ha ha!
But annie...what we need to know is...are you banned too?
Definitely BOOL.
Apparently my cats snore. What the hell?
All stealth accounts are kept very stealthily. I am your Mossad branch manager after all :-D
I thought that Thios must be a Greek guy from a thread I missed :-D
But annie...what we need to know is...are you banned too?
Erm... I don't think so. I obviously have to try harder :-p
I actually only ever posted about 10 comments there and I've only posted there once since I discovered bloggie. Nowadays I barely read the site at all.
#327 annie: I just came off a string of six night shifts, so I'll still be awake to counter your Zionist jokes. Bring it on!
Don't feel bad, gutterfiend. Occasionally I get one of the cats, both dogs and Tom snoring at the same time.
Good night, bloggie comrades.
See you tomorrow.
I've laughed very much tonight, thanks for the comedic value, Mr Johnson! I'm sorry I ever took you seriously, what a waste of time. This is much better :-)
Auster has now posted about what's transpired this evening: Lawrence Nazi Auster gets the LGF treatment.
Don't feel bad, gutterfiend. Occasionally I get one of the cats, both dogs and Tom snoring at the same time.
It's surprisingly loud for such a small animal. Can cats develop sleep apnea? Hmmm. Must investigate...
Good night florrie, I need to turn in too but I'm still laughing.
Good night floranista!
He is honest and sincere and, as I said earlier, even though I often disagree with him, I appreciate those qualities in his writing and thinking.
Yes, isn't it?
Heh, I'm still here reading ev's latest link but I really am falling asleep as I type. Good night all!
#350 zorkmidden: Auster is precise, thoughtful, deliberate, creative, and disciplined to such an extent that agreement or disagreement become almost incidental. Just observing the high quality of discriminating thought that he displays is rewarding enough to make reading him worthwhile. Reading Lawrence Auster has made me a more critical and less-forgiving reader. He singlehandedly raises my standards and increases my ability to appreciate totally unrelated efforts, which is a really valuable contribution to my intellectual development. I really cherish people who help me grow as a thinker.
Good night from me too and thanks for the laughs, comrades. You're every humourless blogger's nightmare :-)
Speaking of humorlessness....is it a fair fight when people with a sense of humor confront people who lack that faculty? Because I feel like we're picking on disabled people tonight.
They threw their stealth accounts at us and we pelted them with jokes. Perhaps it wasn't a fair fight but it sure was funny!
I go to sleep now.
I cant pay for entertaiment this good. ;-)
I don't understand. How can he tell who has a longstanding valid account who also posts at bloggie? FWIW my LGF account is still valid And I remembered my password! My stealth account is under the sooper sekrit name of "annie".I wonder if he'll make the connection...
Sheesh! Talk about creepy teacher's pettiness! Ratting out on the nice kids.
the guy at #561 rats out on Fay.
/waiting to see if i'm grand enough to be banned too... :-p
Ah annie - your sooper secrit stealth account is 'annie' eh? I wonder if my sooper secrit stealth account 'smit' will be detected in the purge.
nb - it's kinda sad seeing people like realwest and NY Nana trying to get people banned.
oh you beat me too it - took me longer to read that thread than I thought. That's 5 mins of my life I won't get back!
I cheated :-) I didn't read the whole thread. Who's got time for that mindless echo-chamber? I did a search for "discarded lies" and followed the comments from there.
Now I need a shower...
Deja voo voo
At least sounded exciting. Been a while since I stumbled upon any internet hissy fits [no, not a comment/editorial on any of the participants, or the content of said/linked thread (I just like the sound of it as an adjective/descriptor, in general, for such events)].
The speed with which the crowd then present at LGF (in the thread I was last a participant in). Turned, bared salivated fang and ruby scalprum, and proudly attacked. Was truly impressive, and a little numbing.
I got over it (though the Kenton Kelly bullsh*t did keep PJ's in my blogging sights for a lil while). Sh*t, I delinked Free Republic just a few weeks back, after having a comment deleted (about Google? wtf).
What's right is right, what's wrong is wrong. Ignore the bullsh*t. Keep your eyes fixed on the marvy/terrific prize .... militant radical Islam.
Have a drink, relax. The millennial war has only just begun. It ain't goin to be pretty. (If lucky) I figur I gotts mebbe twenty years left on this rock. I ain't gunna spend it on my knees. Nor worrying about internet hissy fits.
Thanks All who make Disco Lies what it is. Home. G*d Bless.
As I have found previously in my life, acting unfailingly courteously will not always get you the same response.
The same response happens mostly, but you act courteously because it is the proper Christian act, not because of the response. Some times you will not get it.
I am disappointed in Charles.
And I get to giggle too.
#363 annie: That's worse than teacher's pettiness - it's more like mesirus.
If he's gonna purge every old-time commenter who's also posted here, wouldn't he have to ban himself ...?
I thought RealWest had been banned ages ago.
Or maybe I'm thinking of GCP.
"Fascist" is the new "Communist Islamonazi".
While you've been having all this fun I was ducking tornadoes and floods, but thanks to the seekrit informer whose stealth account can be revealed in comment #308, I have now been duly updated.
The man has lost his mind, that's all I can say, seriously. Very sad. Why is the Ninny still posting there? I thought she was banned long time ago, but then who can keep up with all those bannings and now preemptive bannings, too? Oy...
I don't get those folks. What's the point of shameless ass-kissin' if you don't get paid for it?
Now that's just mean :-)
Still, I gotts ta thank da Beeg Guy or Girl up in the sky (if you belee dat sorta teeng). For having enough smarts (in my late thirties), to come to the realization. I didn't want to be fiddy, and have long hair.
And t'was a cool thing too. Realizing I wasn't my hair (and ... I could still get laid).
Great Thread Peeps.
No, no, he's a fascist all right - Charles said so.
Now go back to sleep.
Like TS said, you can't buy entertainment like this.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this: I was going to look and see if I was blocked by LGF -- but I can't even look at LGF anymore. I guess Charles has blocked our IP address. All I get is the 403 Forbidden message.
Hookay.
Don't feel bad, gutterfiend. Occasionally I get one of the cats, both dogs and Tom snoring at the same time.
That image totally cracks me up. I keep thinking of the Budweiser frogs or a particular scene in The Lorax.
I can see value in assembling an intellectual movement. And in trimming the edges. But lgf will never become such a movement-- at least if it is first an echo-box.
I can see value in assembling an actual movement. Movements can change the world -- think abolition or less happily prohibition or eugenics. Such movements may not be assembled upon the internet.
Mrs. Nana is (according to our phone conversations) a physically disabled former nurse, apparently looking for outlets for her mental energies who lives somewhere out the Island (Long).
I have changed my ideas a sufficient number of times within my life that I no longer attack challengers as idiots. Perhaps it may be worthwhile to work away at intellectual differences.
Hookay.
Try again in a few days. You will probably have a slightly different IP address and Charles has no way of tracking that to block it.
I just realized that InstaPundit hasn't linked to there in ages.
WTFingF?
Jimminy Christmas!!! 383 comments? And no Vitamin C abortions?
Since I can't remember the password for either of my accounts (the obvious one or the 'stealth' one (i.e. I changed my mind after registering)), who knows if I'm banned. Also, who cares. Not me, that's who doesn't.
Couldn't you all have waited one day?
Friday the 13th Massacre has a better ring to it.
But "Friday the 13th Eve" sounds even better, like a pre-quel or something.
The sad thing is that our nefarious plan, to infest them with our pro-fascist comments, would have been quite sucessful if Jourdan hadn't stormed in there yelling "Leeeeerooooy Jenkins"
LMFAO!

It was already Friday the 13th in Israel. It was obvious right from the start that this was all a Zionist plot!
I did a quick glance at this thread and a 500+ comment thread from this morning, and the only other names I recognized (apart from the two evil suck-ups) were loppyd, WriterMom, Occasional Reader, and Lawhawk.
TalkinKamel is in there. Er, the thread you get to by following ev's #12 above, that is.
I also saw EE on some recent thread.
He's always been a good poster, as far as I'm concerned.
Evolution's Eve?
This may be the so-called "hate mail":
Nope.
Oy, it's nearly Shabbat and I've got to go. Don't you dare have fun without me! And if you do, I need pointers for when I get back :-)

Shabat Shalom to you, Annie. :)
Shabbat shalom, annie.
Have a light-filled Shabbat.
No, "EE" - that's what he goes by.
But since the only time recently I've looked at the comments I've very much regretted it, I don't think it will affect my life in any bad way.

It is taking me a week to install new bathroom lighting.
WHY WON'T THIS FUC*ING THING LINE UP !!!!!
Then next week I get to mount our plasma tv. Fun.
I hope you clean it afterwards.
The thing I hate the most is that this is 3/4 of my house and there's no getting away from it.
LOL.
Quite alright. Haven't posted there forever.
I let my curiosity get the better of me, and went back to that thread and noticed this bizarre exchange:
Well, that was the obvious way to understand it - what about the original statement could possibly have been construed as "advocating violence"?!
Meanwhile, "Render"s comment #170 (that started this whole kerfuffle), has the tagline:
- but that passes without comment.Bizarre. Did I say that already?
Sheer paranoia on your part.
I'm sure he'll never find out that coquimbojoe, Thanos, Typicalwhitey, Noam Sayin', seekeroftruth, joecitizen, nyc redneck, and gop_patriot post over here either.

Wow. Classy.
Detroit was quite nice in the 1930s, from what I hear.
The above was on the Melanie Phillips and the Obama Derangement Syndrome thread, by the way.

I find your dignity most becoming.
Cba, I have the Chuckle/Wormwood thread bookmarked, you know.
I guess you should be ashamed that it took you so long to realize what a lame-o plaice that had become. And for having written the FAQ. And - especially - of any gifts or donations you may have ever made to the fascist.
That you post at DL and you're friends with evariste, the fascist cheerleader and Arabic virus porn distributor.
What Levi said.
And more especially, for expecting to get any sort of acknowledgement or gratitude for them.
Racist.
(Any idea what I should be ashamed of? Apart from myself, I mean.)
Not at all! My comment was towards Charles. And my sarcasm meter is pegged. Its really disheartening to see this bunker paranoia sprouting up. Its been happening over there for a long time. I learned over the years that the enemy of your enemy is not always your friend. And just because you have common cause with someone doesnt mean that their ends justify their means. Thats my 2 cents.
I don't understand the point of LGF anymore. So far as I can tell, it supports people who just think or feel that Islamism is yucky, but demonizes as racist fascists anyone who suggests that something be done about it.
A suppositorium would work the best.
I don't think my travel mug will fit.
Auster the fascist stubbornly clings to meanigful distinction.
#459 zorkmidden: LMAO!!
I should also like to point out that the post that led to my banning by Charles was quoted in full and very approvingly by Rod Dreher, the Crunchy Con, at beliefnet.com.
Which I suppose makes Rod Dreher a fascist-supporting creep.
I mean, c'mon.
Crap posted at LGF, I'm sure that would be a first.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the good folks who've stood up for me and the principle. And apologize to those whose banishment I have unwittingly precipitated.
Still, it's been worth it ;-)

You're a really good agent provocateur....got away scot free before the storm hit.

LMAO! Usually I'm able to control the giggles at work, but this one was quite the challenge.! :)
I was already banned, you big meanie!
Not planned, I assure you. Work and life put a serious dent in my online time and, besides, I was getting the feeling that my constant repetition of the issues that are of grave concern to me was getting tiresome and annoying a few folks.
I'm actually going to be re-launching a new blog here shortly and am trying to lighten things up quite a bit. Which is really ironic in that now I'm a fascist.
I look terrible in brown too!

Well, I admit I was motivated by contrarianism as well (how can you not be, in such a one-note echo chamber), but only in small part.
Still, it's been worth it ;-)
I just didn't want all my hard work to remain there when I wasn't going to be allowed to comment.
I'll have to ask solus if coffee inhalation provides for faster caffeine delivery than the conventional coffee ingestion.
ROFL!
What's with the "2"? Is that your evil twin?
A suppositorium would work the best.
#490 Frank IBC: Oh, I couldn't remember my password, and the email addy I'd registered with had lapsed, so I reregistered (some time when I happened to be around during registration). Since "cba" was (obviously) already taken, I went with cba2.
LGF needs a new FAQ section now?
What happened to the old FAQ section? It was really well done.
-BANNED!
Huh?
-You're banned too!
So, what is this site about?
-Reasoned discussion and diversity of opinion. Kidding, this blog is really about how great and wonderful Charles is.
What's so great about him?
-Banned, you fascist!
How can I keep from getting banned?
-Questions like this can get you banned! Don't post anything critical of our leader. Don't post anything communist or fascist (Charles and his most loyal minions will determine what is communist and fascist). Defending anyone with evil opinions will get you banned. Most importantly, do not be from that most evil of blogs, Discarded Lies.
So what is "communist or fascist"?
-Opinions to the political left of Charles are communist, opinions to the right are fascist, and opinions from people from DL are both. P.S., you're banned too.
Why do all your posters agree with each other and practically worship Charles?
-He is our leader. He is perfect. Anyone who says anything else is a DL propagandist. Do not listen to the propagandists. Join the ranks of the banned.
What's so bad about the cheese blog? I love that blog.
-BANNED! BANNED! BANNED! AAauuuughh! Eeeeevil! Get Charles! Help!!!
Are you okay?
-Discarded Lies is out to get us! They have secret stealth accounts! They are communist-fascist spies and they are conspiring against us.
You seem kind of paranoid. And your hive mentality is not very healthy. Have you considered therapy?
-Do I have to tell you that you're banned? You're one of THEM, aren't you!? STAY AWAY!
Only half-kidding, actually. Plexus haemorrhoidalis is an efficient nexus of absorption.
V the K is still on the Blogroll there.
I say we excomunicate him and hang him by the neck in the electric chair until he is miserable.
Meg, that's pretty funny!
Crap posted at LGF, I'm sure that would be a first.
LOL!
I just read this
I'm kind of glad that we have finally reached this final "parting of the ways".
#493 Meg: LMAO!
I laughted very hard at Meg's #493 (because it's very funny).
And then I felt very sad.
Which I think is because I'm mourning the loss (again? still?) of what was once a terrific place.
On the bright side, DL has what I liked most about LGF!
Just promise me you guys will never have a Rathergate...
Ban everything! And then ban banning!!
#493 Meg: LMAO!!!
My heartfelt thanks goes out to LGF for leading me to this site.
The thank you letter consisted of a request to be blocked, of course...
I am volunteering Meg to update our FAQ!
A newcomer. Trial by ordeal, or just the usual frat hazing?
Meg - Hilarious!
Welcome, brindour.
Hi, bridnour. Welcome.
Just don't insult cheese, or you'll be banned.
Welcome, brindour.
Seconded on both counts.
lgf is a joke, it's embarrassing.
Although I loved the comment about a banned poster "you reap what you sew".
I bet Stormi will appreciate their insight about her:
Like I said, a joke. Johnson now has the posters he deserves, lol!
Yeah, with a name like Stormi how could she not be a fascist...
#493 Meg:
Meg, LMAO!
Maybe s/he meant "you rip what you sew".
I wonder what other blogs have as many Jewish fascists as we do.
#516 Frank IBC: Heh. Very appropriate in Johnson's case.
Welcome, brindour.
Just don't insult cheese, or you'll be banned.
Seconded on both counts.
ditto.
Welcome bridnour.
Which side would you like to be seated? With the fascists or the communists?
Which side would you like to be seated? With the fascists or the communists?
I'd like to propose "a cesspool and a little frightening" as an RT.
Commies or fascists? Hmm, tough choice...
...eh, put me with the fascists -- they have better-looking uniforms.
BTW, I love cheese!
Colin Nelson, relaxing at home but a little frightened of those filthy butterflies the nice weather has attracted...
LOL!!
For the record, I think that Bloggie's FAQ page is much better than the LGF one I did.
And I think "you rip what you sew" would be another great RT.
Ah, but do you love communist cheese or fascist cheese?
And Frank will fight ya if you do!

#524 Thousand Sons: LMAO! i just saw that movie too!
LOL! I had a friend that looked like a young Donald Sutherland. He used to imitate that bit from Body Snatchers. Laugh riot, especially in restaurants. ;-)
#530 Right Wing Conspirator:
LOL!! Fishnet fighter!
Christ, everyone here is on fire!
Meg - that was funny as hell!
I had to look up the image properties before I realized it was The Body Snatchers.
I never saw The Body Snatchers, but I did see Shaun of the Dead. I thought that was very funny.
LOL, that can't be me, I have stubby gorilla legs, not those Shiksa-goddess legs.
It could have been Frank without his pants...
Love that movie.
Hey, go read my new thread!
Cba is still posting there, the snake.
Tartuffo is always willing to share his couch.
-click below for full size-:

Holy cow, Tim Russert just died!
RIP, Tim, you will be missed by so many.
Seconded.
Oh, sorry, I see Frank has already posted in a new thread about this.
Could you transfer my comments, zorkie?
Does our FAQ section really need updating?
-Why would Zorkie be asking if it didn't?
So what questions do I need to add?
-I don't know.
Just think of something.
-I'm trying!
Something about ASBOs?
-That's probably a good idea.
And August 22, 2006? Or October 12, 2007? (I think that was the date)
-Nothing happened then.
When is the next end of the world?
-I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
Do people get banned here?
-You're banned for that! Oops, wrong blog.
Are you really fascists/communists with stealth accounts trying to subvert overrated blogs?
-Who us? No.
How do I get an abortion?
-This is a cheese blog, not a medical blog.
LOL! :D
Meg, LMAO!
Dammit, I should have gone over there and posted 'Toyota engine sludge' before I got banninated.
#452 cba:
WOW. Just WOW. Total. Fucking. Meltdown. (On Charle's part, to make clear).
Very classy. (On cba's part).
Still, it's been worth it ;-)
Stop gloating, commie fascist.
WOW. Just WOW. Total. Fucking. Meltdown. (On Charle's part, to make clear).
Very classy. (On cba's part).
Seconded.
#548 Meg: You are too funny.
Teh Classie.
Maybe I'll register as that the next time new lizards are being incubated ;-)
How come you can still access the damn site, but I can't? What did you buy him this time?
#548 Meg: LMAO!!!
I was totally and completely blocked, back when my registration was revoked last September, but I was able to access again in a few days. If you have a dynamic IP address, you will regain your access as soon as your IP address number changes.
#558 solus rex: That was Frank humour.
Oh - you meant Frank being able to load the site despite being banned. Nevermind.
I'm tempted to do that cba.
But what nick would I choose?
Ah see. And ah'll see.
I'm leaning towards the last one.
Because of its double meaning.
-click below for full size-:
LOL!!
I can just picture zorkie and Tartuffo sitting there.
#386 Frank IBC: LMAO! Will he disappear it?
This.
Standing up for yourself, and embarrassing the deity in front of his worshippers.
How come you can still access the damn site, but I can't? What did you buy him this time?
LMAO!
Whew! Now I'm caught up. You guys are hilarious, what a funny thread. Gold stars for all!
They do now.
Standing up for yourself, and embarrassing the deity in front of his worshippers.
Would that make you and infidel or a heretic?
RWC, I've looked at that couch picture several times but just now noticed there's a dog sitting on it, lol!
WTH? I take ONE DAY to take my kids to Kings Dominion and this happens? And I MISSED it! Dammity damn!
Think they figured out what my previous nic was to ban me? I don't want to go check, I mean, I tried to be civil and everything and not say anything rude because LGF had been.. you know. I met most of ya'll there, I got through deployment #1 there...
I like it better here.
And we're going out for Chinese tonight, so I'll probably miss more fun.
But just to make things clear... For those monitoring the thread - I used to post as MILITARYBRAT. Just to be clear, it was MILITARYBRAT. That way you can erase all traces of any account even though I am not posting anything and don't plan to and usually just checked the main page once a day or so to see what was being linked.
Oh, and for the record? Ev has helped me with computer issues eleventy thousand times, most particularly a couple times when my husband was deployed and the computer was our sole means of communication. Charles never helped me with jack shit - nor did any other person at LGF. And while he most certainly does not owe me anything, nor do I expect anything, I appreciate what ev has done for me more than I can say. And I think it is indicative of the kind of person he is - he put his money where his mouth was when I needed it and never asked anything of me in return.
If that is a reason to be banned, I consider banning an honor.
Hey evariste. It's been a long time since I dreamed of you.
I was banned for asking the ventriloquist a question. Not to worry, his dummies spoke right up.
#576 airforcewife:
Yes.I will never forget that ev paid (anonymously) for justdanny's Internet access for 3 months, and that not only did jd not say Thank You once he was told whodunnit, he metaphorically shat all over him.
Oh man! I put on my
robe and wizard hatpurple and green jacket.And so far abortion has only been mentioned twice on this thread! Wow!
Oh man! I put on my
robe and wizard hatpurple and green jacket.BTW I said that so you knew it was me and not a poser.
I hear you, afw. zorkie and ev have both helped me with computer problems as well as not overreacting the time or two I sent them sort of hysterical emails :-)
Plus, several years ago ev looked up and sent us the program to open a document sent by our PoS realtor which had to be signed and returned in 24 hours.
And anyway, I love the comrades.
#576 airforcewife: which reminds me of your transitional nicks when you were getting us used to the idea, like "militarybra" and my top favorite, "militar".
#581 song_and_dance_man: I wouldn't have suspected an impersonator in the first place :-) LOL at the ventriloquist/dummies comment, btw-that's clever.
And don't even get me started on all the wonderful things I could say about zorkie. Because I would go on and on and on and on and on...
ev and zorkie have given me a place to go on the internet in the middle of the night when my husband is being shot at, my kids are having a bad day, my MIL is crapping herself and asking for marital aids in her nursing home, and I just need someone to talk to, laugh with, and commiserate with. And all they ever ask of me is civility. Not even really that, since they've never taken me to account for my temper tantrums or my foul language.
That is not something to throw away for anyone, no matter how internet famous they are.
I was banned for asking the ventriloquist a question. Not to worry, his dummies spoke right up.
AFW: Gimme a call when you have a moment...
the worst part was that I didn't notice the militarybra until someone pointed it out.
In honor of it, I think I'll go buy a camouflage sports bra.
We're leaving for Chinese food as soon as kid #2 gets her damn shoes on. She took them off an hour ago and now can't find them.
Can you email me? I'll get it as soon as I get home. AFG and I are going to settle in and watch Charlie Wilson's War tonight.
#58 Jefe
I thought the only ones who would remember that would be ev and FrankIBC. But then again I can't remember who was on the thread that night.
The pic of the pink tutu laid that dream to rest.
You are veering dangerously off-topic. Let's get back to meeee! And how awesome me am. zorkie has a dog to worship her (she does have to buy his loyalty with McNuggets, but still).
Does anybody have the slightest idea what the fuck she's talking about? I can't think of a single time when airforcewife behaved in any reproachable way.
Later ya'll. The grindstone beckons my nose.
I remember "militarybra", that was great!
Well, you'll just have to wait for zork & ev to open to doors of bloggie registration at some seemingly random day & time.
For no more than 7&1/2 minutes.
I spent much of last night reading the idiocy at LGF, and was struck by the fact that Charles seems unable to deal with anything other than Sycophancy Sentral, until it occurred to me that nearly seven years have passed since the event that made him King Konservative. Now, since liberals have a notoriously short attention spans (like children and the brain damaged) and love calling anyone with the temerity to disagree in any way a fascist or nazi, it begs the question of whether CharlieJ is angling to get back into the Cali-biker-weenie-liberal-douche fold?
Now, as of this AM, my account was still open there (not this name, Chuckie, too bad fer you) so don't out me, OK?
If it remains open after Chuckieboo is done obsessing over those he accuses of obsessing, I will finally post something long and pithy and almost certainly over the heads of 90% of the posters there, just for the sheer freaking joy of hearing his head explode.
I will take a screen shot when I do that, and be sure to post it anywhere free thought and free speech are allowed, i.e.: Not LGF.
I wonder how many LGFers were not able to post on LGF today because Paranoia Charlie banned their accounts last night thinking they belong to evariste and airforcewife.
Collateral damage! LOL
You are veering dangerously off-topic. Let's get back to meeee!

Raised high his bronze sword.
He sent them to Hades!
good gosh, I'm bored.
Lawrence "Springtime For Hitler" Auster is a very naive fascist. Charles "My Way Or The Highway" Johnson needs to show him how to do fascism right.
LMAO!!
I would give much to know who he thought my "stealth" account was. You know, because I was SO DARN SECRETIVE about switching my nic.
... aaaaand you sucked me back in. (Well, with cba's help.)
Now I have to go and figure out what exactly people were banned for. It's like trying to piece together Supreme Soviet meetings with redacted minutes and whited out photos. Something to do with Buchanan? I was asked to review his last book, and I was tempted (and very appreciative of Lukacs' effort) but didn't think I could keep my food down long enough to finish reading it.
#607 airforcewife: I laughed so hard last night, my ribs hurt.
#608 Trillian:
It's all my fault, I'm afraid.
Solus, for being logical.

Whom did I forget?
Have you ever noticed that the good stuff always goes down when I'm otherwise occupied? What am I, a fun-block or something?
Next time someone call me!
I was telling AFG about the "cesspool" comment over dinner. Cesspool? What? We don't even rate sewer? I guess I'm not saying "fuck" often enough.

Forgive the bitterness -- but Mark Twain once said that the only difference between and a man and a dog was that the dog would not bite a hand which had fed him.
Dogs never bite me.
LOL
And I'm totally jealous that Meg thought of the comment thing. That was so funny, I nearly peed my pants. And I wasn't even reading it in real time!
Oh of course, sorry levi. Although the reason for your banning is a mystery to me.
And Stormi! don't forget Stormi! She was banned for having a name that was a variant of "Stormfront"!
#615 airforcewife: That was hysterical.
I wonder if Ike would like Charles. Ike loved Stormi. My son loves Stormi, too. As do I, but Ike and my son kept cuddling with her.
levi's comment reminded me what a good judge of character my dog is. He loved Solus, too. And solus isn't even a dog person!
Oh, of course!
Mayhap CJ fears levi's dog Bane?
Mayhap CJ fears levi's dog Bane?
Yep. Intellectual competition.

I'm rolling! LOL!
was throb ever banned over there?
the banning is no big deal. It was just a guilt by association with DL thing.
No bitterness there.
Although I have gotten some grins.
How can anyone not like Stormi's front? :P
Oh, I forgot to mention, we're back to being bitter:
LMAO! We started this up again?! Well, it must be true--NY "Ban cba, sir! Ban cba!" Nana says so. And I love AmeriDan's "uncover more enemy agents" comment.I can't believe CJ asked people if they knew of any other DL commenters who had accounts there.
"Turn in your DLers! Anyone who doesn't turn in the DLers will be banned!"
Did he have boots on at the time, I wonder...
#628 cba γβα גבא ابت вба: Between the "enemy agents", the "negative loops" and the "stealth accounts", I've just been rolling. They need mental help, the lot of them. With Charles leading the way, of course. Like he does.
I guess I'm very naive--for such a long time I thought he was one of the good guys.
He needs to wear boots, to be able to wade through his self-made internet version of Robert Taylor Homes. The jaunty totalitarian flavor it gives to his vain prancing-about is just a bonus.
The jealousy! I am consumed by it! Damn them and their platinum standard blog!

For some reason, I'm feeling an urge to watch that South Park episode where the smug cloud is circulating...
You know what this blog needs? Gang signs. Seriously.
Thanks to whoever posted the link to Lawrence Auster's discussion of Buchanan. His point about Kirsch's review is an interesting one. Something that I don't quite get, though:
(referring to his letter to Kirsch.)What exactly makes Auster to the right of neocons? Disagrees on some things, sure, but how do we decide which position is on the left and which on the right?
We ask Charles.
That is awesome.
Can I wear one pant leg hitched up?
I can barely handle the emoticons!
You're welcome.
That is awesome.
Can I wear one pant leg hitched up?
If I can have the gold chains.
We ask Charles.
I would, but I'm banned.
You're welcome.
I've always had a soft spot for fragmented liver.
LMAO! Tell me it isn't so!
If I can have the gold chains.
What font am I supposed to get my tattoo in?
(referring to his letter to Kirsch.)
What exactly makes Auster to the right of neocons? Disagrees on some things, sure, but how do we decide which position is on the left and which on the right?
According to Auster, neocons are a subcategory of liberals -- right-liberals, as opposed to left-liberals (liberals proper). In his (not unreasonable) view, they operate from the same fallacious basic premise: the universal sameness and consequent interchangeability of all people and groups thereof.
What font am I supposed to get my tattoo in?
Comic Sans MS!

Just say no to serif.
*flails about wildly*
LMAO. I know, the accusations of jealousy are so laughably off the mark, but repeated so often by Nana as to have passed beneath my notice entirely without remark.
But what do they think there is to be jealous of, exactly? We're too consumed with innate superiority to be jealous! I mean, you could cut the smugness at Bloggie HQ with a knife, people. We spend the rare bits of time that we devote to LGF and Charles Johnson laughing at it and him.
I think the comment about jealousy tells more about her than anything else-that she thinks in those terms and probably is herself jealous not only of Charles Johnson and LGF, but of me and DL as well. After all, did she not spend months operating an email defamation campaign against me, trying to destroy my reputation and making outrageous claims about me, all the while I thought she was a sweet and harmless old lady and was friendly with on LGF? I would never even have found out about this had one of the people she'd been trashing me to informed me. She is a destroyer, not a creator. An attention parasite who feeds off others' fame and spends all her time stirring conflicts and creating strife. How can she stand herself? If I was her, I would walk in front of a train.
According to Auster, neocons are a subcategory of liberals -- right-liberals, as opposed to left-liberals (liberals proper). In his (not unreasonable) view, they operate from the same fallacious basic premise: the universal sameness and consequent interchangeability of all people and groups thereof.
Denial of the existence and/or importance of meaningful differences, in other words.

I see great minds think alike.
Very accurate description.

Ever since I first read that notion of neocons on Auster's site, it struck me like a thunderclap as so obviously correct as to go without saying. But it's actually nonobvious and requires explanation, which is why I didn't realize it till then. I like the phrase "right-liberals", it's just the perfect morsel to convey the meaning.
You have to admit, his meltdown was pretty funny.

Commie. You and zorkie want to wipe all the distinctiveness from the world and make it all bland and soulless, like a Swiss airport. Serifs say "decoration matters, and we don't need to pursue efficiency above beauty. We can have it all." Serifs are for lingering. Serifs are for lovers. Sans-serifs are for obsessive-compulsive handwashers, homosexuals, EU treaties, mimes, and Pol Pot. Serifs are rock and roll. Sans-serifs are Cage's 4'33''.
How about I just get a tattoo of a computer keyboard so that it looks like it's sticking out of my waistband?
Denial of the existence and/or importance of meaningful differences, in other words.
Sans-serifs do that too, but serifs discriminate meaningfully. Serifs won't fit in your cultural blender. They're too awkward and pointy. You can't get serifs in vanilla. You can get them in chocolate or in grape, but you can only get sans-serifs in vanilla, and it doesn't even really taste of vanilla. It tastes of Similac.

This deserves some serious thought.
I'm open to the proposition that people and groups aren't interchangeable. What, if anything, this has to do with their inherent rights, or the obligations that one has toward others (on an individual or group level) is where it gets thorny. I don't think all nations are capable of stable, civilized government, for instance, but if we frame a foreign policy not in terms of creating a democracy where there was despotism, but rather in terms of halting the worst abuses of a despot, does it matter whether groups are interchangeable?

*sigh*
I'd never made the leap to actually thinking about what the font name "sans serif" meant.
Now I get it.
Serifs have three or more stealth accounts on your blog that have been logged into today. Luckily sans-serif ferreted them out and blocked the accounts. Serif is the tallest poppy, and sans-serif is a scythe. Sans-serif plucks and waxes. Serif grows a beard to draw attention away from the unibrow.
#665 solus rex: wow, that's a very appealing font!
Is it bad that I'm trying to picture what a font with a full Brazilian would look like?
Sans-serif shot the serif, but he did not shoot the deputy.
Heh. If not for this movie of dubious merit, I would have totally missed the reference.

2 Shea! I was trying to think of a clever riposte to Trillian's comment, but met with no success.
You have to admit, his meltdown was pretty funny.
that I'd just broken up withwith whom I'd just broken up.)I prefer to think in terms of civilization and culture instead of race and those are the values I hold dearest. But I've noticed that instead of expecting immigrants to assimilate to the U.S., we are assimilating ourselves to their culture. One lesson that California can take from Greece is that no Greek public school holds classes in Albanian and Greece doesn't celebrate Albanian holidays. Second-generation Albanians may still be called Albanians but they're expected to speak Greek and live Greek.
This deserves some serious thought.

Yeah, I think that's where I'm at, too.
Not necessarily, but what do you do on the day (three weeks, in this case) after?
I'm starting to think the old preference for a not-too-bad despot who can be reasoned with wasn't such a bad thing.
I like what Qq wrote a few weeks ago: ideally, the in-group would include the entire humanity, but the reality is that some groups are simply not assimilable at their current stage of cultural evolution. And we must not make ourselves hostage to that fact by continuing to blindly follow the premises of radical universalism.
#684 Trillian:
Heh, she's hooked on the ole bloggie-crack again...

Well, I just checked, and for the moment Throbert McGee and Rugby the Rat are both still allowed at

#677 zorkmidden: excellent comment. Most insidious to me is that the typically triumphalist American conservative commentary on Europe scolds the Europeans for failing to assimilate immigrants, and advises them to do so forthwith. The US conservative cure for Europe's rotting teeth is apparently...candy bars. Look at how well we've assimilated our Muslims, they rebuke Europe; that your Muslims are rioting and fighting you and destroying your country is your fault, not theirs. Their prescription is that rather than limiting Muslim immigration, Europe should roll out the red carpet to them. Would this not merely act as an even greater incentive for the ongoing Islamic population replacement program? Do they not realize what numbers the Muslims have amassed in Europe, how many towns where Mohammad is the most common name for newborn boys? Don't worry, say Republicans, just treat the hostile masses of Mohammads and Ahmads and Osamas and Khalids as if they were French people. As if the French identity itself was so malleable and plastic, meaning nothing more than what right-liberal Americans wish it to mean that day. It's bad enough that they've devalued the peoplehood of Americans, filling Minnesota with Somalis and small-town Iowa with Iraqis, and watching in silent consent as the American populations of the Southwestern states are replaced wholesale with hostile invaders; they want to debase every other remaining peoplehood as well.
I think that's his shark jump.
That's just inspired me! Maybe we could coin a new term for shark-jumping public intellectuals. "And reading that column was the moment when I realized that Thomas Friedman had waxed the crack", perhaps one might say.
#c691 ev: I agree with all of this, but don't understand why you attribute this to Republicans only. Don't Democrats advocate roughly the same sort of assimilation/total surrender for Europe?
The other question is, if you reject the "just assimilate them and it will all be fine" school of thought, which is fair, what on earth can they do other than that? Live and let live doesn't work, because, well, one side isn't interested in letting the other live as they are, in the long term.
That's just inspired me! Maybe we could coin a new term for shark-jumping public intellectuals. "And reading that column was the moment when I realized that Thomas Friedman had waxed the crack", one might perhaps say.
LMAO.
Is it still verboten to tell people they've got mail?
I have to go to bed soon, Zaphod is going to sue cba for alienation of affection by proxy for luring me back.
#694 Trillian: Democrats too, yes-it's just that I was specifically reacting against the memory of a WSJ piece I'd read several years ago. What's astonishing to me is that you don't expect those who style themselves "conservatives" to be so devoted to surrenderism and victim-blaming. I think that on the balance I'm still happy with damning the right harder, but it's good to be clear on why I'm more critical of them, so I'm glad you asked.
Republicans are supposed to be adults who should know better.
Stopping and reversing the islamization. Separation and containment policy vis-a-vis the Muslim world.
How do you just post the little linky number? I have to learn all the tricks the cool kids picked up while I was away at math camp.
That makes a lot of sense. Yes, reality-denying kumbaya singing is more offensive from conservatives, in the same way that adults throwing tantrums is worse than 4 year olds doing it. Good point.
#694 Trillian:
Good lord, like those are the only choices?
There's always the tried-and-true eradication and/or expulsion options.
You may be uncomfortable with them (as I imagine all decent people would be), but you can't pretend those potential solutions don't exist.
Well, it was never really that verboten. We instituted it out of exasperation with someone who was just doing it constantly. That someone no longer posts here, so it's kind of the dead guy still sitting in front of our fireplace these days. It's the sort of law that exists not to be enforced rigorously and oppressively against everyone, but as a tool reserved only for the most flagrant of abusers.
#698 Trillian: just hold down the shift key when you click "reply".

I am deeply uncomfortable with them, but more to the point here, I can't imagine them ever being implemented in Europe, for reasons ranging from the temperamental to the very pragmatic, ie are there many able-bodied Europeans willing to take physical risks to reclaim their country? I'm guessing "no", given the number of "no-go" areas in major European cities. And with each passing year, as per Steyn, the ratio of "youths" to young adult Europeans shifts a bit further.
In a nutshell.
#701 evariste: Very cool :)
OK, really going now. Mother is in town and we're going to drink tea and watch South Park together. She thinks Death Camp of Tolerance is high art thanks to our proselytising.
#700 evariste: the admonition on the getmail page is a bit like hanging a "beware of dog" sign, without the formality of actually acquiring a dog.
See ya, Trill!
Well, whaddaya want from me? I can write some code so you guys can vote "check your mail" comments down if you want. But if you ever vote me down, so help me Chaz I will fold you in half and ship you to China by slow boat.
LOL!!
Holy crap! How did I miss this fun?

Then you immediately halt all further immigration and expel every non-citizen resident upon the slightest pretext.
Offer free one-way tickets to anywhere for all Muslims.
Close down every Mosque in your country, watch half the Mohammadans leave voluntarily, and watch the other half's culture dissolve.
Your government never partners with Muslim outreach groups.
Ban the Koran as hate speech.
There's a jillion ways to go at this, but, honestly, I'm not optimistic.
I figure Europeans will eventually become fed up with the invaders, and that it's going to get bloody.
Actually, it'll probably get bloody pretty much any way the cookie ends up crumbling.

I tried looking for Fred, but bloggie search crapped out on me (again). I was trying to remember how long it was--can anyone tell me?
Solus, for being logical.
Jourdan, for being polite.
Lewis, for being funny.
AM42, for telling the truth.

airforcewife, for having the same nick with another poster there.
evariste, for past grudges.
Fay, for searching.
cba, for standing up in class.

Thanks, ev. So this thread still has a ways to go...
This thread is Fred Jr.
This.
Richard Miniter is a Fascist because Hitler liked Islam?
FTIW, I just checked, and we are still blocked from even looking at TOB. Besides Solus, is anyone else having that problem?
As I understand it, if you have a cable or DSL hookup, you have a fixed ISP. Does anyone know if this is correct?
I have DSL, and my IP address changes constantly.
Go to Control Panel -} Network and Internet Connections -} Network Connections -} Local Area Connections, Open, then click on "Disable".
Then pull up Network Connections (the window should still be open) and right-click on Local Area Connections, then select "Enable".
I have cable. I am able to look, but I have de-bookmarked TOB, so I shall probably not be doing so often.
Someone else voted down a Charles post.
wow.. this is the first thread that having a comments. am wondering..
I can still look, but why would I want to?
#701 evariste: Ah! Thank you, Trillian, I was trying to figure it out for ages and too embarrassed to ask.
Lovely (old school) bloggity-sphere thread. Charlie's got no integrity (pretty simple really). Zeep, zero, nada. One doesn't have to be a liberal or a conservative to have a dislike for such people (and avoid them).
#522 cba/reply

BTY, this is the first time I have ever seen the DL site - quite a cesspool and a little frightening.
Yikes.
#606 zorkmidden
..... Lawrence Auster
You're telling me that there's a "vote" mechanism that he makes available on every comment, thus soliciting participants to vote yes or no, but if they vote no on HIS comments, they're instantly expelled?
This can't be. It's too far out. It's beyond a parody of totalitarianism.
Tis truly a mighty tangled web we weave.
Except that most of them got deleted. But it would have been "a little frightening" while they were still showing.
What Meg said. :)
More collateral damage in the Global War On Terror By Proxy.
The Global War on Terror By Proxy, and "internet famous," are such perfect terms for some of the toolier members of the blogosphere in these dark days.
Hi, Trillian! Good to see you back this morning :-)
Indeed. Lovely to see you again. It's been too long.
Yeah, you know- hearing people use the phrase "braver than I" for reading a website...
And I third the "been missing Trillian" comments. There hasn't been nearly enough snark around here. Lewis and Stormi have been working hard to keep the remarks coming (so that I can rip them off and use them myself), but it's no easy task.
And where the heck is the additional footage of singing Zeke we've been clamoring for? Jefe, don't you know that is more important than any job? Huh?
I've been out of town for the past few days, and it took me a lot of reading to get caught up. I just posted this over at LGF:
#745 lady red: Gosh, if me politely asking for the FAQs I wrote to be removed is "gall" and something that should make me ashamed of myself, I think what you wrote will be high treason at the very least.
I wondered why there weren't any lgf people on this fred (jr) defending teh fearless leader. Then I realised they're probably waiting for the bloggie commie/facist secretariat to open registration.
Bah, so be it. I don't have time for his nonsense. He wouldn't know "racism" if it bit him on his paranoid, honky ass.
Smit, LMAO!
Well, seriously. What are they going to say, Smit? What CAN they say? Charles was hysterically banning people - some people who didn't even post there! - and telling someone to be ashamed for associating with two people who go out of their way to help people they've never even met. Other than "nya nya, we're telling on you! You're not popular like WE are!" like some kind of retarded internet version of Mean Girls.
And the banning that started the whole thing was Charles losing his mind and calling someone who takes their American-ness VERY seriously, as they lived through communism in the USSR, and as a Jew.
How dare Solus be proud of HIS country and look and think about ways to fix it! How DARE he!
That just irritates the ever loving crap out of me. Here is someone who is American by CHOICE, not by the luck of birth. And may I add, is more "American" than most people born here. And Charles, from his Ivory Mac tower, can't stand being around someone who lived in a situation he can't even conceive of not agreeing with him.
"Braver than I" about visiting a damn website, indeed. If that is someone's measure of bravery, they need to stay behind a keyboard in Mom's basement where they belong. Just don't eat the tomatoes. Dangerous, you know.
Well, fuck it all, I say.
Bah, so be it. I don't have time for his nonsense. He wouldn't know "racism" if it bit him on his paranoid, honky ass.
LMAO!!
I wonder how long it will take the Hall Monitor to spot my comment, and for Charles to burst from the basement with his banning stick, frantically jabbing the "delete comment 368!" button.
Of course, being a good DL spy, I posted under an alias.
Prepare for flying spittle, comrades!
lady red - Thank you so much for sticking up for us; very much appreciated.
Trillian - Good to see you about! Hope all is well with you.
I meant every word I said, Kevin.
It's most excellent to have you posting here again. I've missed you.
Fourthed!
Yeah, you know- hearing people use the phrase "braver than I" for reading a website...
LOL!! Really.
#745 lady red:
LMAO.
They probably had a black member in the band, that explains Johnson's expertise on deciding who's a racist.
LOL! I wondered that too, but then again if they posted here they might be mistaken for one of the heretics. Gotta watch out for that bloggie taint.
And every time his band performed, they had a list of the songs, so that makes him an expert on databases.
LMAO!
Mean Girls on the Short Bus.

I think it's hysterical that he's managed to ban or push away every interesting commenter he's had but he's kept NY Nana and realwest, the psycho and the liar. They're the heart of LGF!
Did he play guitar? Expert luthier! Did they fly to their gigs? Expert aeronautical engineer!
It must be tiring. Thank God for Holiday Inn Express.
#764 franco cbi: I have a feeling I'm going to be spending this whole morning laughing again.
Michigan J. Dog.
Was that the name of his band?
#766 zorkmidden: I don't follow these things too closely (and was happy that DL had managed to avoid their notice in recent months), but I thought NYN had been banned? I'm pretty sure she'd been badmouthing CJ in her usual classy manner over at GCP or somewhere similar, and had got caught up in one of the "taking out the trash" sessions (along with some other blog-traitors).
Forever more this shall be the name I use for what was once LGF. Hilarious.
She was a double agent.
It's most excellent to have you posting here again. I've missed you.
Fourthed!
lady red - Thanks you for saying that. Very kind.
She probably gave the names of all the others and he let her live.
Hmm...it appears that Lawrence Auster is considering a libel action against Johnson in this case. Hmmm....pro bono, that could be a worthy cause.
NYN, aka Lois, is persona non grata at GCP. She had been caught badmouthing the folks over there, on the "Sooper Seekrit" blog, but AFAIK, it didn't involve Himself.
In an English court, hopefully.
LGF Colloquium, the LGF spinoff from which GCP later spun off, has been floating belly up for quite some time now.
Hmmm... this is interesting...
I just did a quick search for site:instapundit.com (or pajamasmedia.com/instapundit) + Little Green Footballs (or Charles Johnson or LGF) and I'm not getting any results more recent than 2007.
Bah, so be it. I don't have time for his nonsense. He wouldn't know "racism" if it bit him on his paranoid, honky ass.
Now get thee to the bannery, woman!
#784 franco cbi: Wasn't that when Johnson left Pajamas Media?
Lady Red:
That sounds about right. But he's still on the blogroll.
I can't even access the front page. I'm not just banned, I'm FORBIDDEN!
Heh. :-)
Doesn't it seem more likely now that we look back on it that there is more to the CJ-to-leave-PJ story than was made of it at the time?
Heh. :-)
LMAO!
I've no idea why he left, I didn't follow it.
Shavua tov bloggie! I see you're all still at. Now I've got nearly 400 comments (Gordon Bennet almighty!)
to catch up onon which to catch upup on which to catch :-DJudging by how he feels about free expression of ideas and debate, I don't see how he could be part of a media organization anyway.
I got the impression that they tired of him, and he just presented it as the other way around.
Shavua tov annie, you fascist sympathizer!
Pafe'ic.
Heh. :-)
Most of you just got banned. But Fay (I may be just along for the ride), Solus, and Lady Red have been forbidden.
OK, I'm checking the IBC personal archives and it looks like the business relationship ended on December 1 2007.
I was forbidden for two days at most.
LOL! Look at this thread after cba's comment:
That was me :-) I dinged down all the anti-DL comments on the thread. And now I'm a banned fascist sympathiser too!
What did you buy him from his wish list?
LMAO!
You must have been one of those sweet but diabolically evil little girls when you were young, Annie. :)
#801 annie: LOL!! So you and Meg are the top subversives!
Do Ding-Downs by banneds get un-dinged-down after they get banned?
That was me :-) I dinged down all the anti-DL comments on the thread. And now I'm a banned fascist sympathiser too!
Annie! I'm LMAO!!!
I was! Ask my little sister!
Was that the name of his band?
"Waxed the Crack," I believe.
Thanks for the welcome, guys. I've missed the intelligent discussion (yeah, that's what draws me here, not the snark, friendly pervs, and fellow warped minds. Absolutely not.)
Hmmm... I might be FORBIDDEN now, too. Or it might just be a bad connection.
Charles is down two points, thanks to Annie and NY Ninny.
Most of you just got banned. But Fay (I may be just along for the ride), Solus, and Lady Red have been forbidden.
Forbidden. Bah. How does one get to be PURGED? I wanna be PURGED!

Ding-down, the troll is banned, the wicked troll...
I found the perfect horn for the trains of the Ferkakta Rapid Transit System.
Frank, what did you get banned for and when?
The last week of September 2007, for doing too many searches during the time of the Eurofascist/GCP kerfuffle. Stealth banning, I hadn't posted at all in a year and a half, and only three times in the previous two years.
Crumbs! Banned for searching... the mind boggles. I remember I was in London at the time and missed all the fun.
The newest hatchling
Joem got banned for exactly the same thing, just a few days later.
Annie - I didn't announce it on Bloggie, I just e-mailed the innermost clique.
A fair and honest comment, way to go lady red!
Oh, glad you cleared that up, Frank. I thought it was SarahD.
What were you searching for, that caused this banning? I didn't realize people could monitor searches. How creepy and Stalinist.
The weatherman and several of his ilk.
Plus some very old posts from the folks in here.
What were you searching for, that caused this banning? I didn't realize people could monitor searches. How creepy and Stalinist.
We can monitor them but we very seldom do it. We can barely keep up with you guys's comments, you think we'd look to see what you're searching for too?
To the tune of Flagpole Sitta
See what I mean, Trillian?
Just a momentary bad connection.
:-)
So zevorkie, can you please keep my repeated searches for "Mark Steyn" + "stiletto" + merry widow" to yourselves?
#833 Meg: ROFL!!! You've been killing me for three days now!
Meg and Trillian on the same thread at the same time... what more could life possibly offer??!
If we ever do some looking, I bet we have enough material to blackmail Franco for the rest of our lives.

#842 Meg: Thanks!
Anyone can monitor their own site, even Turd Ferguson.
Oh, and Mark Steyn is Adonis.
Don't tell them about "barnyard + orgy", promise?
#833 Meg:
Awesome, Meg!
Meg, that really worked well! I was reading your words and listening to the song... you rock!
Meg, that was brilliant.
We'll email about it.
Who has the time? For every four comments left on Bloggie, one search is done, and 9 spam attempts are blocked by the blacklist. My unread folder in Gmail has 15,664 search notifications alone. We like to keep track of them just in case there's some reason to, but the idea of actually following what people search for is far, far too tedious to bother with in practice.
#833 Meg: ROFL!
Awesome.
This shift-click reply thing changed my life. Trufax.
I love the TAB + ENTER.
So this is what I get for trying to be a responsible adult for once - miss out on all the fun!
*pouts*
Oh well... I'll have to toddle on over and see if I'm banned. Couldn't be in better company if I am.
Er sorry. I just tried tab enter (it's Frankie's fault, could someone ban him please).
LOL zorkie!
#833 Meg: LMAO! Oh my God, that's so clever and funny! I don't think you could possibly have picked a better song to riff off of, I mean, that's just perfection.
Damn you Franco! :-D
Wow, I didn't know that TAB + ENTER gets you around the catgotyourtongue filter. :)
What's wrong with this? Any one remember?
*Towels off*
Well... that was a disturbing walk in the underground lair. Do they truly not see what they have become? CaJo has become what he mocked - Kos and DU. It really is sad. LGF was a lifeline of sanity for me in the days after 9/11. But the "Best Of" is now here, and I am endlessly grateful for how you all make me think, force me to reason, re-consider and defend ideas.
I may just have to dust off the Diner in honor of the occasion...
What's wrong with what? I don't understand what your question means...
These are the links:
Lawrence Auster
Ian Jobling
He banned tinyurl, remember?
"Dinging" sounds funny if you add an "e" right after the first "g".
He banned tinyurl, remember?
Oh, right! I guess he allows himself an exception, because he needs to use it for the same reason that we do? (To avoid alerting them that he's talking about them). That's hilarious-think he got the idea from reading Bloggie yesterday? What a biter.
And if zorkie would just do another BOOL episode to go with the Diner, life would be complete.
What's tinyurl, for those of us that are computer illiterate?
It takes a long url and makes it short. So instead of http://twenty-thousand-letters-and-numbers.com/QSALXIHFDS_ZZ_421344/whatever, you get something like tinyurl.com/a0b1c2, and when you visit that, it just redirects you on to the original link. This has the useful side effect of masking the browser referer field, thus denying the owner of the endpoint server the means to find out where he'd been linked to from. All you see is that it's from tinyurl.com, which means it could be from anywhere.
#873 evariste: Ah, I see. Very sneaky.
It's a website where you copy a URL, and it gives you a new, shorter URL, via the tiny.cc site, that re-directs back to the original URL. Supposedly it makes the URL more manageable - less problems with wrapping or breaking long URLs, but many use it to mask the referring website.
Well, Ev was not only faster than me, he also explained it more clearly.
Because of the masking issue, Charles banned it from LGF several years ago. But now he's using it himself for that exact purpose.
Because of the masking issue, Charles banned it from LGF several years ago. But now he's using it himself for that exact purpose.
Actually, what he banned it for was the obfuscation issue, which is related to the referer masking issue but subtly different. The obfuscation issue is that you can use tinyurl to link to websites that he didn't want you linking to, so he just banned the service entirely.
Which I guess is a good place to point out that you can use tinyurl to get around Bloggie blacklist inconveniences, like when you try to post a URL that contains three 8s in a row. Circumventing the Blacklist for benign reasons like that is perfectly acceptable with us.
Ahem - cba - check the front page... ;-)

You are a paranoid lunatic.
With delusions of grandeur.
NO-ONE here thinks you are anything worth attacking, any more then a kindergarten class.
You are a fool who shows his stupidity more with every authoritarian, paranoid rant you post on that way-past-expiration- date blog you host.
LOL!!
Thanks, Meg. Actually, after I'd posted my question I saw that it was a very low number so was probably on a thread that started a short time before the comment, and I managed to find it for myself.
I also noticed quite a few deletions. Not as many on the Death to DL thread, but still, quite a few.
Now I have to go look at this thread to see where we're making our nefarious plans.

BOOL is practically writing itself.
I keep thinking the craziness will reach critical mass sooner or later, but it just keeps on escalating.
What the hell is a sock puppet post, anyway?
I have, in my 'stealth' guise (Charles, that means identity) been working out a lengthy comment to post on your silly-assed (Charles, that means stupid) blog.
I have, however, come to realize that, if I make an intelligent (Charles, that means smart) comment that neither you, nor any of your 'I'm more sycophantic than you' commenters will understand it.
Frankly, you are simply not worth it.
In case you are still wondering, dumfuck (Charles, that means YOU) I am still registered as Dances With Typos.
No wonder you are called a 'hate' site. You obviously hate all intelligence, which is a good thing as any random 2 posters, HERE are more intelligent than you and ALL of your dimwitted Sycophant Sentral posters, there.
Oh, and
KOSerr,DUumm,HuffpoDamn! LGF lizardoid posters, PLEASE remember just why the lizards are losing out to us mammals.It is simply intelligence.
And you have none.
OMG, I found it... and it was my comment! (Do sock puppets get Alzheimers, do you think?)
Maybe I'll register as that the next time new lizards are being incubated ;-)
But what nick would I choose?
Because of its double meaning.
BOOL is practically writing itself.
See number eighteighteight, below.
Brian Damage is a sock puppet for
Mister Loonly, Billybob X, Siddhartha Vicious, Dhou Wahdidi,and all the various 'Dances' ids.The difference between my altered egos and most sock puppets is that I tend to disagree with myself, unlike all of CharlieJays sycophants.
Because anticipation makes it extradoublegood.
He should have stuck with 'stealth account', it sounds cooler.
I hope we're still under surveillance when BOOL comes out.
That's what I just said.

#904 lady red: {giggle}
I want post #1,000.
I would just like to say that I have been ruthlessly advancing the fascist agenda today by playing Age of Conan waaaaay too much.
#907 Jourdan: You ruthless sock-puppety stealthy fascist.
Too boxy.
Chuckles must be busy in a crack high for now, as he has not yet banned me after my intentionally insulting post number 893.
Yeah, but does he have hopity changitude?
Unfortunately for me, Kevin V., my choice of a nick over at LGF was not the best for sock puppetry.
Lord Beaverbrook, the press magnate, was standing in front of a urinal next to someone famous (Gladstone or Disraeli or Lloyd George or WC) and apologized about something said in his newspapers the prior day. The response was that he should, the next time, make his insults in the men's room and his apologies upon the front page.
Upon the evening of June 12th, I became so enraged that I was having difficulty maintaining my decorum. So I wrote Zorkie e-mails totaling about 50 words. By allowing me to vent in private, she helped me to maintain who I am in public.
E&Z have never helped me with a computer, just something far simpler – my sanity. I am grateful that when from time to time I feel I have a riff inside of me which needs playing that they allow me to stick up a GA post. I am also grateful that they allow me to maunder in ordinary blogposts, and to hippolink what strikes my fancy. And without suggesting that they offer private psychiatric service, I am grateful for the private psychiatric service.
Bloggie plans are so super-secret, we can't even remember them ourselves.
We're the Israelis of the Internet... terribly inept when it comes to blog genocide.
Us sneaky Zionists - how long till they start talking about DL hair rays?
Don't feel too bad, Kev, my 'Stealth Account' at LGF ( I so wish I could link some scary music, here) was the second site I used DWT (the first being Weboggle) which I have now reserved for DL (sorry, folks).
So, if you see a DWT reference somewhere else, it is at least 4 years old.
Well, except I will still use DWT at Weboggle if I ever go there again.
I doubt if he'll ban you there for posting here. That would be utterly bizarre.
Oh wait....
how long till they start talking about DL hair rays?
In my case, DL Hairless Rays
I doubt if he'll ban you there for posting here. That would be utterly bizarre.
Oh wait....
Yeh, I am sure he and/or his sickophants are reading every word, here.
Apparently we're not the only ones conspiring against LGF.
Oh no, the evil Digg is keeping LGF from winning internet popularity contests!#913 levi from queens: That's very sweet levi, thank you.
In my case, DL Hairless Rays
Blinding glare?
/ducks and runs
That's funny, I'm going to relax a bit this evening by playing some Civ IV. Lately, I've been playing as "Ron Paul", and it just cracks me up so much to see all the characters in the game saying stuff to me, Ron Paul.

Yup.

Hmm, maybe I will go to Weboggle as Ron Paul.
Hmm, still not banned as DWT.
DAMMIT, CHUCKLES - BAN ME!!!
How can I part of the incrowd if I am still 'legal' there?
Shavua tov, my fellow bitter, banned, bloggie friends! This is hysterical - it just keeps getting better. Meg, your #833 is brilliant.
DAMMIT, CHUCKLES - BAN ME!!!

Dude! Are you a narc?
#913 levi from queens:And without suggesting that they offer private psychiatric service, I am grateful for the private psychiatric service.
Ohh, yeah.
Dude! Are you a narc?
Excuse me?
Anyway, as Gandalf and Peregrin Took ride with the speed of the wind to gondor, I will move with th speed of the wind to my bed.
Good night, all. Sleep well and dream beautifully.
Narc!?!?!?!?!?!
#931 Dances With Typos: Good night, DWT.
Sooo... by the slowing of comments on this thread I'm guessing that we're suffering delayed trauma as a result of the banning?
Crackheads? The last time I got high was from contact fumes of Icy Hot.
I think it's more that it's rather late for those of us who don't live on the Left Coast.
... terribly inept when it comes to blog genocide
RT!
You are a paranoid lunatic.
With delusions of grandeur.
NO-ONE here thinks you are anything worth attacking, any more then a kindergarten class.
You are a fool who shows his stupidity more with every authoritarian, paranoid rant you post on that way-past-expiration- date blog you host.
Perfectly said, Dances.
Trillian, it is SOOOOO lovely to see you back!
And I can't help but ponder the nature of the horror which a dozen subversives of any stripe might visit on a blog...
What - we'd type about things? *Gasp!*
Sweet dreams, DWT!
Awww, come on - you KNOW it's because we're crushed - crushed - by our rejection by the "platinum" blog!
What about
?
SRSLY! I sang along with Harvey Danger, only with Meg's lyrics. She's a genius.
My excuse is that I had to pick my daughter up after she spent שבת with her grandparents.
My excuse is I'm working on BOOL. Beat that if you can :-)
Well, I just caught up with the last few hundred comments. Since I'm already up way too late I'll save a bit of time by saying...
LMAO, everyone!
#944 zorkmidden: Working? It's been writing itself for the last two days!
I crocheted three potholders and started a baby blanket for my new half-nephew.
Totally!
I painted my kitchen.
Well, kind of.
I crocheted three potholders and started a baby blanket for my new half-nephew.
Well, I... hmmm... I played outside with my sons all day, and watched Madagascar!
#946 AM42: evariste says you're banned from BOOL, he just discovered three of your stealth characters in Ferkakta and deleted them and drawn mustaches on them.
#951 zorkmidden: LMAO!
I understand the glue sniffers at Things In My Garage are talking about sneaking in here wearing false mustaches, by the way.
tee hee
#951 zorkmidden: LOL
Damn! Foiled again!
Someone rat them out so Ev can ban them! They're just jealous that we're the plutonium standard blog.
Meg, LMAO!!
#953 evariste @ large: I like to think of TIMG as a stealth blog.
#958 AM42: LOL!!
Meg, I don't know what your career choice is but as a writer you're a natural :-)
Heh, heh, it *is* a stealth blog, I have to sign up to actually see what's in your garage :-D
#961 floranista: I'll save you the trouble... the entire blog consists of two or three posts that, essentially, say "Coming Soon!"
We (TIMG) will be sneaking in here at some point... but, since we refuse to wear false mustaches, we're frantically trying to spontaneously sprout big ol' push-broom mustaches.
Spontaneous is taking a little longer than we had planned.
Well, as you may or may not have heard, 2007 was the year of the stache. It appears you have missed that bus.
#963 סטרמי Stormi: Dammit!
At the rate it takes me to actually grow facial hair, they'll be in again by the time I have a half-decent mustache.
#962 AM42:
LOL!!
OMG - do you have any idea how hard it is to stifle snorts of laughter? I'm desperately trying to not laugh 'cause hubbie's sitting across from me working on his laptop, and there's no way I could begin to explain why the conversation about mustaches on BOOL figures is making me LMAO!
Meg, you're a hoot - glad to see you around again too!
C'mon guys - only 30 posts to 1,000 - we're champion lemonade makers!
#970 Lyana: On a thread about a car. A Ford, yet.
#967 joem: That does it, joem... You are now banned from TIMG for daring to question the existence of the garage!
Enjoy your new friends.
A stealth garage - I'm sure of it... And that "A" in AM42? I'm pretty sure it's short for "annie" - I bet it's Mossad operation.
LOL!
Apparently, we're all regrouping under new stealth accounts to make one final siege of the platinum blog.
LOL!
#973 Lyana: Shhhh! to clue CJ in to my new stealth nick!
Doh!
Sooo... who's responsible for the seige engines? I'm trying to construct a metaphorical trebuchet, but I can't seem to find anything on google. Who's bringing the catapults for cow flinging? And anybody got a cave troll or two we could borrow?
Well, you may be.
Me, I'm still tweaking the recipe.
All the cave trolls I know of already live at LGF.
Slow down guys! I can't keep up with all the comments! I'm LMAO all over again! And I haven't even looked at Lyana's bistro yet :-D
Such a Sunday morning of bloggie goodness. Way to start the week!
Evrey comment? Most of them are too boring. I'm only picking the (unintentionally) funniest ones. Since he's reading this I wonder if he liked my song.
I'm bad. I need to be kept off the streets.
Does Charles sound a little bitter or is it my idea? :-D
Meg, you're a fascist and a stalker? Soon we won't be able to keep up with all your honorary titles!
[Invis-O-Text™: ON]
OK, I made that one up. But it's just a matter of time.
[Invis-O-Text™: OFF]
Well, I really must get some sleep tonight... but I need to dump a few thoughts from my head first.
This whole kerfuffle is just too funny.
To think that CJ banned Q, and accused him of "barely-disguised racism" is just mind-boggling.
That Jourdan's defense of Q became, in CJ's mind, a pro-fascist rant is beyond mind-boggling.
That what followed- our individual realizations that we hadn't posted on the platinum blog, let alone read it, in years... and how funny it would be to see how innocuous a comment we coud post and get banned- somehow became, again in CJ's mind, some sort of fascist-sypathizing assault on the platinum blog... I've already used beyond mind-boggling.
That CJ implied that zork & ev orchestrated said imaginary assult... bmb.
That our tomfoolery was interpreted as anything but... bmb.
That, as afw pointed out, there are platinum bloggers who feel as though they are true heroes for actually surviving their little fact-finding visits to bloggie... bmb
Off. The. Charts.
I love this...
And what, exactly constitutes hate mail?
Really, if I had the time- or if I actually cared- I would put together a bunch clips of CJ's (and his platinum heroes') comments and juxtapose them with reality. Plut some of their comments next to ours. It would be comedy gold.
Oh yeah... that's sickening. Just sickening!
Anyway, it's been fun. I'm tired, and in no mood to proof-read any of this, so hopefully my brain & fingers have been playing nice together. Good night all!
BTW- I am sooo glad that no one here "signs" their comments. That has to be, hands down, the most annoying habit of platinum bloggers.
(insert stupid catch-phrase here)

Ferkakta has just proclaimed June 13 an annual holiday, along with March 28 and April 12.
#986 AM42: +++
Stormi
Sola lingua bona est lingua mortua
I've only seen two or three of his comments quoted here - where he (apparently) calls bloggie commenters "crackheads", and Meg quoted his entry where he whines (again) about being dinged at digg. Are those all the comments he's made today? What a loser.
#987 franco cbi: What about August 22?
From LGFWatch, which seems saner and saner by comparision.
There is no August 22 on the Kaleidaru Firkaktana. Just an unexplained blank space between August 21 and 23.
He sounds off the wall. In the Vidal thread he derails his own thread at #9. How nuts is that? The conversation until his comment (all 8 until his input) were on topic. Obssessed much?
Massive wave of insomnia strikes the east coast of the USA!
Yeah, I know I said I was going to bed... but I just wanted preserve this, since CJ sent it "down the memory hole".
-click below for full size-:

zork/ev, if you don't want that posted here please feel free to delete it.
I'm being pawed. I can't go to sleep while that's going on.
#986 AM42: You forgot to mention Meg and annie getting banned when they "dinged down" his comments. As Auster puts it
Lunacy.Typicalwhitey? LOL

Perpetually going to bed.

He's done that to threads, too.
AM 42 WINS THE PRIZE!!! The thousandth comment!!!
Oh yeah? And we've never derailed threads like that? LOL
Hey, why'd you ban me, Zevorkie?
I'm going to bed, too. It's even after midnight ZDT.
Thanks. I did intent to put that in there. I wonder if he goes and "rolls-back" his points for those, since they don't really count you know.
Sleep calls to me, like... something that would call to something else.

Fascist for thee, but not for me. Or vice-versa?

The Orc Brigade has gotten lazy, it would seem. :)
The ironic thing about my post #3, Franco, is that I thought it was a quiet little thread where a quick note to SR on another topic wouldn't bother anyone.
Little did I know....
[Invis-O-Text™: ON]
Not since November 2007, LOL
[Invis-O-Text™: OFF]
As much as I get made fun of for saying stupid things, I never whined about "stealth accounts". Can you imagine if I had said that?! Now I can point and laugh at someone's comments! I can even down-ding them with a sock puppet/stealth account. And I know you guys are tired of hearing me talk about the religion of peace or the family values of
illegalundocumented immigrants who do jobs Americans won't do, but I've never said that Islam or Mexico were "platinum standards." That's just sickeningly lame.I see we be riding living-impaired horses :-)
Dang-it ... a whole nuther two hundred fifty posts in the thread? Teacher, you didn't assign this before class was dismissed yesterday! (Waaah).
Oh ... so anyway, where wuzz I? [Right I'll read the extry posts later (it's all about me)]. OK so ummm like uh last night, it dawned on me (and yeah I really, really could care less about LGF. Though sure was surprised a few of ya still posted/participated there).
Chuckles Yawnson is just like Astronaut Peter Craig, in the Twilight Zone episode: The Little People.
Twilight Zone wav file.
joking about thisplanning the overthrow of LGF, we'll find out.I haven't smoked crack in at least ten years. Ooond I'm purdy sure iff'n I wuzz .... I wouldn't be hanging out, online, at any political forums. Let alone LGF. Probably be shuffling off to grab up another rock, then another, then ....
:-)
Is a "platinum blog" kind of like a platinum blonde..?
Hmmm - tacky-looking, airheaded, narcisstic?
Yup, it seems to fit.
Let's see, he calls us crack heads. He calls us nazis. He calls us facists. He bans some of us for making comments that disagree with him. He bans some of us for searching his archives. He bans some of us for posting in both places. He bans some of us because our names have been seen here. And, he (apparently) bans some of us from even looking at his site.
Didn't CAIR used to complain about it when CJ would post their remarks from their site? And didn't CJ say, "Get over it, looser?"
Doctor, heal thyself.
#1022 Matt: And then there are the poor lizards whose accounts were stopped because CaJo thought they were DL "stealth accounts."
And the bans just keep on coming!
(Sorry for forgetting the Radio and the M before).
#1024 RadioMattM: Thanks for the explanation. I assumed it was Matt (Colt).
That was too funny... and not the only time he's completely derailed a tread like that.

Woohoo! AM42, you the man, bay-bee!
I'm still working my way down the thread, but this definitely needs to be repeated. Da bitch is crazy. Creepy even.
(I had the "pleasure" of being accidentally CC'd on some wildly stupid emails conversations involving her.)
And the bans just keep on coming!
(Sorry for forgetting the Radio and the M before).
Sock puppet!! Stealthy sock puppet!
Well, I'm finally caught up on the entire brouhaha from this weekend and frankly I'm just embarrassed for Charles.
I guess I could get a little rankled at possibly being banned from LGF for posting here for the past four or five years, but I just don't give enough of a damn. It's not even worth the effort to check if the account is still good. The best parts of the old LGF reside here. We ain't missin' much.
Seriously, how can anyone read this thread and come up with conspiracies such as the ones he's spouting is beyond me. He's lost it.
#1030 RIP Ford: the thing that really makes me happy is all the childish name-calling he's been doing. It just shows how he's completely in the wrong that he has nothing of substance to say, only insults. "The crackheads at Discarded Lies", "discarded losers", etc...he has nothing but this kind of name-calling.
Thank you Charles Johnson for confirming that you are not a worthy opponent, just a resentful, frustrated chump who is out of ideas, toothless and feeble, your well tapped dry. My best revenge on you is that you're doomed to keep re-enacting your same stale antics forever. You told cba to enjoy her "new" friends. Enjoy your old friends, old chum. NY Nana, realwest, etc...this is who you are now, because you've driven away anyone with personal character and a living mind.
But then I got over it and now I just feel how very much I agree with this sentiment:
Agreed. This nonsense is probably the most surprising aspect of this entire stupid episode.
I'm over it now. I haven't thought about that place "in a coon's age", and once this has passed I'll go on not thinking about it again.
Honestly, LGF is a news aggregator like Instapundit but with commentary. It was that feedback and back and forth in the comments section that made it interesting. That's apparently long dead. Long live Bloggie.
I began to find, over the past year, it increasingly one sided and more resistive of the many fine facets of thought that made it appealing. It is now a vehicle heavy on one side, going in circles around an apex of intolerance.
Have you been banned yet for posting over here?
Have you been banned yet for posting over here?
Yes. For asking a question born from a quote.
Sorry, that was me in #1035, hubby forget to change nic. When were you banned? Was it recently?
Have you been banned yet for posting over here?
I misunderstood your question. I've posted here in the past because of my affection for ev and zork and the other commenters. But the answer is no. I was banned two weeks ago and decided to post here because I was sent an email that described this very thread.
It has been a long time, hasn't it.

Does PDM still post there do you know?
- Was the tenor of that email more along the lines of "Look at those crackhead DLers!" or "It looks like CJ has really lost it"?
- As a follow-up: Was your informant a regular here, a regular there, or just a lurker (either place)?
As I say, if you feel you might be revealing a confidence by asking, then by all means, do not do so.

As I say, if you feel you might be revealing a confidence by asking, then by all means, do not do so.
And just a month or so ago I ruminated about the many old posters who weren't there anymore and cited you and a few others.
The email was supportive of those who have been unjustly singled out over there and was in no means a slam against DL. The context was the conversation over here of the recent insignificant bannings by the Ventriloquist.
What the Ventriloquist doesn't realize is; his association and implication that Creationists are of the same ilk and ideaology as the Islamists is detestable to not only Christians, but maybe Jews as well. I don't think that realization has hit yet. But it will when all that is left is the puppets.
OK, thanks.
I'm curious as to why he suddenly "snapped" with regard to the "eurofascists". He didn't have any problem with them from 2001 until late 2007, then BAMM!!! he suddenly notices that there is GAMBLING...
Yeah, I kind of feel bad about that. But I didn't DO anything to cause it. Wrong nic, right time I guess.
I mean, it's hilariously funny. But not for the person who got banned for having my name.
Because, you know, I'm sure someone named Charles Johnson has NEVER run into that phenomenon of people having the same name! Really, the name is absolutely ORIGINAL. That just doesn't happen, right?
-click below for full size-:

The other "airforcewife" got banned? ROTFLMAO!!!
It's not clear CaJo was necessarily referring to afw, but he did talk about (for example) ev having a bunch of "stealth accounts" that he didn't, so obviously he's suspended accounts of other people. OTOH, if they're hardly ever used, it's probably not that big a disturbance to those people's lives.
And if they emailed him to point out the error, I'm sure he'd reinstate them with good grace.
Yes, it wasn't clear that it was the other AFW (she capitalizes her words and doesn't stick them all together), but he linked to my comment and said it was "taken care of". At the time he did that, my militarybrat account was not banned, IIRC.
And I haven't been banned from viewing "The Promised Land", either.
I expect to be one of those who can't see the site soon once the Ventriloquist gets a hold of my comments here.
Can't wait to miss that!

LOL!
I can't believe y'all are making me post in a thread that's over a thousand comments long, but I will be kind and warn you that there'll be a "Bloggies Of Our Lives" episode published tomorrow morning. (Inshallah.) LGFers might prefer to stay away, it may be a little too much for their humour quotas this year.
That gives me an utterly diabolical idea.
#1054 zorkmidden: Woohoo! New BOOL in the morning!
And for what it's worth, Frank, I hope you will give due consideration that you might be causing our kind and long-suffering hosts before you put any diabolical plans into action. And please stop rubbing the frigging lamp.
#1054 zorkmidden: Woohoo!!!
What Amy Foo said.
Don't start with me now or I'm gonna ban your sock puppets too! ZST time, of course. (Not sure about the exact hour yet.)
"Ideas" aren't necessarily "plans".

#1062 cba γβα גבא ابت вба: I'm sure it would go right over their heads - just like most of the humour in this thread has.
zork,
Good to see you, or rather, read your words again in real time.
#1054 zorkmidden: Yeah! *pumps fist*
Jourdan is right!
#1067 joem: I think the one thing that blew my mind the most (or maybe just put the finishing touches to the mindblowing that had been in progress) was where I was all confused about where CaJo could have gotten the idea that DL was planning a "stealth registration attack" and thought that I must have missed some comments on this thread. And when I go back to check I see... it was my comment!
Talk about huouououmououour-challenged.
Although to be fair, anger does tend to dull even the sharpest sense of humour. And paranoia does so in spades.
#1061 zorkmidden: Ha! Just go ahead and try. I created
a dozen...a hundred... an infinite number of stealth accounts the last time you opened registration!a dozen...a hundred... an infinite number of stealth accounts the last time you opened registration!Good to see you, or rather, read your words again in real time.
Thanks! You too :-)
#1075 cba γβα גבא ابت вба: Do you know how every once in a while bloggie is down for several hours? That's when registration is open.
Apparently, opposing Islamists by blogging is okay, but any actual political parties trying to enact a program to defend their nation from Islamist is racist, fascist and counter-productive.
Better we all just talk about it.
And here I was thinking of clever and obscure sounding sock puppet names. Has anyone taking sang_lang_dang_mang? If not...dibs!
LMAO!!
For some reason (like, maybe, I was really tired) I only noticed the mustache last night.
Fast forward to this morning. I was having breakfast with Mrs. 42 & the boys and it just hit me out of nowhere... "Duh. It's a sock puppet!"
Yeah, I'm a little slow sometimes.
LOL!!!
It's cool seeing RIP's influence on zorkie :-)
AM42, ROFL!!
#1054 zorkmidden
Since when did zorkie start saying "y'all"? Stealthy sock puppet - ban her!!
Oh crap - I just went and broke bloggie - don't worry. I'll ban myself...
#1085 Lyana: It was one of my stealthy disguises!
zorkie, the Greek southern valley girl! :-)
(And thank you for sweeping up the mess..)
Can't wait for the upcoming BOOL episode!
Wow. Over 2 hours of giggling to catch up with the drama ;)
5 days without bloggie is so hard!
(And I have to say, you are funny, my fellow cheesians.)
I'd like to think it was me... and that's enough evidence for me to conclude that it was.
Bwah ha ha ha.

Bwah ha ha ha.
I even have a hat...A Texas hat...
I've been giggling for three days now. My cheeks hurt!
Your cheeks need a massage!
Ok, gimme a show of hands who wants BOOL published now instead of tomorrow morning. If twelve good men want it, it will happen. The votes of stealth accounts will only be considered once.
Hands WAAAAAAAAY Up!
Heh.
I even have a hat...A Texas hat...
Yee haw. :)
I'm waving both hands! But I'm lacking slightly on the man side...
Me Me Me! Can I vote or am I disqualified because I work here?
I have hands AND feet in the air. And I'm wearing socks! So count that as four!!
Ike informed me that as a Democrat, he is allowed to vote despite species issues.
Also, I'm currently coming up with a list of all my dead relatives. Since ev lives in Chicago, I think they are allowed to vote there.
Oh, and I'd like to take this moment to say that I friggin' hate Triscuit crackers. I don't care if they're healthy. Whenever you try to scoop something with them, they break.
Shred, actually.
totally annoying.
If you had a comments rating system I'd ding up this post.
Although there's only a few of you, ev's hair makes you look like a crowd, so you convinced me. Will be publishing in a few minutes.

Bloggie's NY Nana
Can someone explain, briefly, what the actual issue was that drove CJ to go bonkers and ban SR etc?
And Frank, I'm always game for diabolical plans.
He defended bloggers who Charles suddenly discovered are racist and fascist last fall.
#1111 Trillian: AM42 posted a screenshot here.
solus posted something that CJ deemed racist.
Partying like it's August 21, 2006.
No drunken orgies for us!!! boo hoo hoo!!
Oops, wrong thread..
Well, not really, joem. Just the basement of the correct thread, I think.
#1111 Trillian: Johnson had replied approvingly to a comment by someone who goes by "Render" smearing Lawrence Auster and some others as "neo-Nazis". (In his reply, Johnson added that Richard Miniter and Diana West are neo-fascists.) solus posted to point out that Auster and Jobling (also named in Render's post) were not neo-Nazis, and that's pretty much why he got shitcanned. The reason was claimed to be that Johnson had discovered a history of racism in solus/Q's posts. The real reason was of course that Johnson cannot stand one bit of criticism, especially not Auster's devastating, impeccably correct criticism of his methods, and he was displeased that the dishonest, factually inaccurate smears he was letting stand on LGF were not going unchallenged.
I know! Why does Bloggie hate Jews and gay men so much? Why? Why?
I saw the screenshot.
You're not serious. Well I suppose you are. I guess I'd assumed that the trigger for a meltdown or such Chernobylesque proportions would be something a little more, well, actually offensive. Or at least potentially offensive. Or at least mildly controversial. Does Charles have hysterical fits when his computer says "you've got mail"?
Diana West is a Moonie, but I don't know about the rest.
Yes, because any mail that does not thoroughly lick his balls or contain gifts or cash is apparently "hate mail". See #986 AM42 for an example of an innocuous email that he characterized as hate mail, then posted, as if completely unaware of how insane and disconnected from reality it would prove him to be.
I'm still amazed that no "Orcs" have come to this thread.
Huh?
All I know of West is through her columns on Town Hall and this interview about her book on FP. Interestingly, her web page links to lgf (as well as to LA).
There's no shiny comment approve/disapprove button to attract them.
They're afraid they'll be banned.
There's no shiny comment approve/disapprove button to attract them.
Let's not ever have one, please, ever.
They're afraid they'll be banned.
I'm sure Charles would have loved nothing better than his "lizards" coming to Bloggie to defend him, that's why he linked to this thread and that's what he always does, he links to whichever blog attracts his daily wrath and encourages his posters to go defend his reputation. Apparently his "lizards" are not as willing to go fight his battles as he thinks they are.
#1130 zorkmidden: Ah - exactly as you depicted in the last frame of part II of Lord of the Banned ..
Or - perhaps they're waiting for registration to open.
Obviously they're terrified I'm going to turn them all into shoes and handbags.
#1130 zorkmidden: Hilarious! That's a great point. He must be very disappointed in the response to his many whining, dishonest comments. Oh well, time to ban some more thought-criminals.
When I started posting at LGF, I remember him whining about LGFWatch having photoshopped him in a polka-dot dress. He linked to LGFWatch so we could all see the injustice done to him and that we should go there to defend his wardrobe, but I couldn't stop laughing at his whining and at the polka-dot dress.
Let's not ever have one, please, ever.

You know, for having 1100 comments on this thread bloggie is refreshing just fine.
I must begrudgingly admit that it's not too awful.
Huh?
She's the one who writes for the Washington Times, right?
That made my spleen hurt.
You missed a couple.
That made my spleen hurt.
One of these days I'm going to have to read Animal Farm.
She's the one who writes for the Washington Times, right?
Yes, I guess so. But I don't understand your characterization. I'm not that familiar with her, but from what I've seen of her writings, she is a strident anti-illegal-immigrationist who warns of the dangers of the Islamic Jihad against the West. Am I missing some piece of the puzzle?
She's a member of the World Unification Church.

Has anyone noticed (or am I the only obssessive around here?) that if you try to click on Auster's link which leads to the Other Plaice, you get redirected to a dancing Snoopy in blinding flashing lights.
What a childish tantrum to play. At least if he'd redirect to the IDF site (or Obama's website for that matter) it'd make more snese.
CaJo seems to lose it more and more every day.
Thank you, #745 lady red and #750 airforcewife.

Now I'm hungry. What shall I make for supper?
I recommend a nice brisket, since I can't eat beef these days.

Is anyone else having pleasant regurgitations of lady red's "paranoid honky ass" line throughout the day?
I burst into laughter while I was on the treadclimber today remembering it. That and Meg's voting CJ's comments down have just stayed with me, and I think it might make me look a bit nuts to those around me.
#1160 airforcewife: THe best line in the movie.
Charles just cut his content by 2/3:
Climbing down from the caveman approach to accommodate LGF? LMAO!
Doesn't the AP know that LGF is the platinum standard? Charles better make sure no one from the AP has stealth accounts.
I know I'm going to have to do a captcha, but it'll be worth it... this thread is still hysterical.
