Also the fact Charles is a coward who bans someone and then lies about why he banned the person who is unable to defend him/herself.”

DLM, this is exactly correct. Set aside his philosophical crusades; this is by far my biggest beef with CJ: I expected that after Rathergate, he would be a caped crusader for the truth. When he directly lied on LGF about several things regarding me and my family, committed libel in doing so, and when provided with the facts showed no inclination to consider that he may have been wrong, he showed that he is as trustworthy as a rattlesnake. The most offensive thing is that due to his “reputation” for straight shooting, he has his minions believing his lies about individuals

This is not hyperbole: At root, either through negligently gross sloppiness or through the direct lie, he is using the same technique at root as Goebbels. No, CJ doesn’t = Hitler. Yes, CJ = Goebbels in technique. Free speech cannot do its clarifying work when subjected to a totalitarian corrupting censorship engendered by blog ownership.

Food for thought.

For the record, I’m not so much mad about being banned from LGF. Its not my blog and Charles can ban whoever he wants for whatever reason he wants. My complaint is that Charles then LIES about why he banned certain people, even going as far as libeling them, when he knows they cannot respond in the same forum. That’s just cowardly and dishonest.

Eggggzactly.

DJM, me too- after I posted links to sites with information against Darwinism, next time I tried logging into LGF, I was confronted with a box that says “that account is now blocked.”

I hardly ever posted at LGF anyhow. I lurked most of the time.

When I did post, it was not often, and I was a pretty polite person.

I avoided all the threads at LGF about European political parties, Neo Nazis, and racism, mostly because such topics did not interest me.

I’m agnostic on the whole evolution/creationist biz. Personally, I only care about what works. If believing in the Giant Spaghetti Monster would get us more vaccines, I’d go for that too.

The only thing that this proves is Ben Stein was right; who wouldn’t say that if they feared for their livelihood which is exactly what is happening in the academia circles if you reject evolution as a whole? How many examples must be shown on the big screen before the leaders “of free speech” at LGF recognize their own hypocrisy?

There was a time that 99% represented a magic number of fraud in a vote. Like fear and suppression? Remember Saddam’s 99.5% landslide or Yasser’s 99% election victory? Those were trotted out at LGF daily – and everyone knew they were bogus results. But not now. Not when it’s your pet issue.

Something else. What Charles and the always moronic Killgore invariably fail to mention is that poll after poll overwhelmingly shows the general public wanting something as alternative taught in conjunction with evolution. Call the alternative what you will.

But the fact remains, Charles and Killgore the bigot are not in the vast majority as they wish to believe.
