i just got banned this evening for this conversation:

Charles:
I see that we have some loveable scamps nominating LGF for “best liberal blog” in the silly “weblog awards.

I replied:
sometimes when i come on here it really DOES look like a liberal blog. ease off on the creationist bashing. nobody cares about that.

more on the big government 1995 page healthcare bill that nobody has read and that Pelosi wants to ram down congress and that’ll get your barometer back to where it should naturally be – on the centre right.

note – i said CENTRE RIGHT.. i never thought of lgf as a neo con far right blog. but equally its not left wing. maybe you made a bad call on your choice of stories recently. i certainly noticed it.

Charles replied:

One thing I can do at my own blog is tell people who insult me to piss off, which is what I’m telling you.

and that was it – banned. if he keeps doing that he’ll have zero traffic.

I wasn't a member of Little Green Footballs' forums (it was too difficult to register). There's still a form for submitting comments to the sit, though, so I tried asking Charles some tough questions about why he's still slandering Rush Limbaugh and trying to paint him as a racist, and what happened? I was banned--from the entire blog! That's right. When I try to navigate there, now, all I get is an error message stating I'm not allowed to access this server. Anyone who tells you Charles is fair and doesn't ban people at the drop of a hat is lying. Admin 1389 replies: Consider being banned a badge of honor. You might want to post your name on the banned list at Kirly's blog.

I got kicked of by CJ a few months ago for criticizing him on another site. He got my user name from the site, looked it up on his and disabled.

It was for an anti-evolutionary comment I made on HotAir.com.

Greg, a lot and I mean a LOT of former LGFers have gone over to Roses Coffee Shop. http://thecoffeeshopblog.blogspot.com/
We have a really neat chatroom over there with many of the old friends you made at LGF. We support the First Amendment there so you are free to voice your opinion without fear of being censored or banned.

C’mon by and I’ll buy the first round!

I’d also like to extend this invitation to any and all the readers here including those that Sir Charles has seen fit to ban.

Thanks for posting about Charles Johnson. In addition to his jihad against all “creationists” and “closet fascists/racists” Johnson republished without allowing any critical comment lies written by Kim Zigfeld aka La Russophobe during the August 2008 Georgia War. Anyone who pointed out the truth that the Georgians struck first (regardless of how much they claimed to be provoked) or that at the very least Saakashvili had stupidly walked into a Russian trap and were trying to get us to bail them out was censored. Johnson’s lizardoids claimed that any comments critical of Johnson and/or Zigfeld were just KGB plants, as if no thinking free person in the West could possibly have a different opinion than that the August War was a straightforward example of Russian aggression and not the angry Bear finally saying “Enough!” after years of NATO expansion, pipelines bypassing Russia, and being presented with a convenient punching bag in Saako.

I just got banned from little green football. All I did was comment on the new movie “The day the earth stood still” Admin 1389 replies: Consider it an honor to be banned from that worthless site! You might want to add your name to the banned list being maintained by Kirly.

Wow, I just got banned today. All I did was say that a parody of Charles (which I really didn't think was insulting to Charles, but was a bit sharp-edged) was funny. Charles said the parody was "hateful". A big stretch, Chuck! Stalin city over there. Is there an Lizard-in-exile site somewhere? Editor's reply: Many "Lizards-in-exile" have gone over to the Gulf Coast Pundits forum. I've been there on occasion myself, but not recently, on account of poor web connectivity (at my end), and lack of time due to other personal responsibilities. - Blog admin 1389

I joined LGF in April of 2008 and was (proudly) banned on Halloween after dinging-down Charles Johnson’s and others’ comments about Robert Spencer @jihad watch. Not too astute perhaps, but I didn’t know CJ spied on his members like that…didn’t know he even cared or could tell who was doing the dinging. I never posted anything that was disrespectful to other members. Didn’t post anything worthy of censure. I expressed myself as a conservative Christian, a Republican, and one with a Western World view. I wouldn’t have it any other way…wouldn’t sell my soul and freedom of speech to remain in his autocratic good graces. Robert Spencer has earned my abiding deep respect. Czar Charles Johnson, on the other hand is someone I lost all respect for. He needs to be exposed for the egotistical, twisted hypocrite he is. He is a traitor to freedom of expression…a rotten apple fallen off the cart and rolling downhill in the market place of ideas.

I am both a Jew and a supporter of Israel, and it is my opinion that Charles HAS been getting paid for his advocacy. The bottom line for me is that his knowledge of Judaism and of Middle East affairs is too superficial for someone who would be championing the Jewish cause pro bono. He really displays little curiosity in this direction – it just seems to me the interest isn’t all that genuine.

It wouldn’t bother me at all if he had been receiving money from pro-Israel sources during the second Intifada, mind you. He did a good job of countering some of the anti-Israel spin in the media, and why shouldn’t he get paid for it?

Editor’s Reply:

I have absolutely no problem with Charles Johnson or anybody else advocating for the cause of Israel or the Jewish people. Nor do I have any problem with him or anybody else getting paid for speaking up on their behalf. I’m not Jewish myself, but I do have Jewish relatives, and I’m a heartfelt and long-time supporter of Israel.

My problem with CJ is with his unjustified attacking of other people in the counterjihad, and his leveling of unfounded allegations. If he’s getting paid to do that, or being intimidated or blackmailed to do that, that’s a problem.

June 2008. I’m pretty late to this party, I know. I am still a member at LGF and have not been banned, but I related to some of what I’ve read on this page. I’ve recently become rather disillusioned with LGF myself, starting back with some of the things you folks have posted about here. I was astounded by how Mr. Johnson went about banning people left and right, even over trivial reasons. But still, I remained an infrequent visitor to his blog, since I thought his coverage of Islamic atrocities was informative. I’m a Christian, and it seems to me that there is a very, very quiet bias against Christians at LGF, or at least what can be termed a lack of respect, and I’ve picked up on it more so this past couple of months, what with the recent trend of (anti) Intelligent Design threads at LGF. I find the LGF anti-Christian stuff sad, given that a lot of respect and sensitivity is shown to Judaism and to Jews. Why show such care and respect towards the one and not the other, especially since Christianity

The graph shows Alexa rank, which is a relative measure of site popularity, NOT total visits or page views. 1 appears at the top of the Y-axis, representing the highest ranking (most popular) site.

Spartacus, it’s a ranking graph, comparing LGF to the webosphere at large, not an absolute traffic graph.

LGF is plummeting, and the purge of intelligent life over the last month is already visible. Less intelligent comments lower reader interest.
