This past week has been very eventful for all of us at the Blogmocracy. We’ve seen a lot of activity, a lot of excitement, and a lot of familiar names and old friends.
At the same time, however, we’ve also seen more and more evidence that there are netizens out there who are eager to participate in our discussions, but do so only anonymously or disguised, presumably out of fear and/or intimidation.
Well, I think that I can speak for many of the Blogmocracy administrators and readers when I way…enough is enough! I will not sit idly by while witnessing the plight of netizens, bloggers, and registered members who are crying out, hungry for freedom. People should be able to, without fear, express any reasonable opinion they want to, to whomever they want to, whenever and wherever they want to. It is a right that most take for granted, but it is not granted to all.
From this day forward, I will no longer look the other way. It is upon this foundation that I launch the Free LGF! Movement (FLM).
The Mission:
-To expose and oppose any and all forms of intimidation used to limit the freedom of LGF’s netizens.
-To free as many souls as possible from LGF’s culture of tyranny and suppression.
-To provide counsel to those who have recently escaped, and help reintegrate them back into the free blogosphere.
…..To that end, I’ve got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone:
the chair is against the wall
john has a long mustache
(hat tip: Bebes Boobs Destroy.)
WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on over, everyone. The water’s fine
PERMAFROST!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody now:
We shall overcome………we shall overcome…..

Chen, get that pic in its margin please.
THAT is one of the BEST songs EVER!
re: #8 by Kirly
and THAT isn’t in the right thread although that’s where i was when i wrote it and clicked submit.
Based on that link: this is supposedly the stalking site?
Well, Chuck, you already banned my nic months ago without the courtesy of a reply as to why. Why don’t you go ahead and ban it again, just to make yourself feel better. As a matter of fact, print it out, put it on the floor and jump up and down on it real good — that should make you feel empowered.
re: #7 by WrathofG-d
Ya know, I had a much easier time formatting this stuff on my blog. I tried to get that pic in the right side, but its showing up on the left. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
re: #11 by ChenZhen
There you go. [unnecessary snide joke removed by WrathofG-d]
Great work btw. This Thread is excellent.
LGF “Dear Leader” will not be pleased.
re: #11 by ChenZhen
I have the same problem.
The “more” button also doesn’t work for me!

re: #18 by who cares
This reminds me of the Rosenhan Experiment that proved people will see exactly what they want to see on the flimsiest of evidence.
The “non-existent imposter experiment” was just hilarious. Charles seems to be suffering under a similar delusion.
Free at last, free at last, good God Almighty we’re free at last!
Thank you,
From Heavensgate
Huh. I think Cognito just got the ban stick. From what’s been said around here before now that seems like a pretty major event.
Free at last.
I am now posting with my original nic.
(formerly known as ‘Boeing’ here and elsewhere).
Don’t care if CJ bans me on 1.0 or not, since I never plan on going back there anyway.
Happy memorial day to all and a salute to all our troops – past, present and future.
re: #26 by archonix
Yeah, I posted about it last night on one of the threads
Cognito was banned for not believing enough in Evolution for Charles.
Charles was also ‘disappointed’ that the minions at 1.0 believed what Cognito said he believed rather than what Charles said Cognito believed.
I guess Charles expected people to think he knows better what others believe than the individual.
President Obama denounced the NK’s nuclear test, and said that the behavior is unacceptable and that it is a ‘grave threat’ to peace.
Honestly, what’s Obama going to do? They’re breaking UN Resolutions and the UN will do nothing.
That’s what brought us to Iraq, is Obama going to do the same thing with NK?
pfft.
Of course, Most wars started by Democrats end up having those Democrats starting up Drafts.

Even if North Korea nuked South Korea, I don’t think Obama would do anything except seek another strongly worded letter from the U.N.
He is too busy destroying the U.S. to be bothered with international threats.
I support the “Free LGF Movement”!!
On this special day, let us not forget about our fellow netizens suffering from tryanny, oppression and mind control at the cult known as LGF1.0
re: #27 by ghost707
Welcome!
Hey there goddess,
I doubt many remember me from LGF 1.0 (I only made about 250 posts there in 3 years) but I recognize many here.
It’s great to be here, no worries about the ban stick from expressing a point of view.
#29 LanceKates,
It is amazing how things reverberate down the years. If only Truman had let MacArthur finish the job.

Democrats don’t do that. Republicans are starting to follow in that mold
re: #28 by LanceKates
Timezones being what they are, I usually miss the tail of these threads. C’est la vie.
But I shall try to be more observant in future.
Only TWO people?
I read that over there yesterday, Jimmy. Is Der Lizard King really that paranoid that he cruises the Interwebz searching?
re: #28 by LanceKates
Yeah that was too damn funny.
I noticed that Sharm went dumpster diving into the LGF archives in an attempt to prove Charles correct.
re: #31 by ghost707
That link had me bawling out loud. I sent it to my two colleagues who were VN draft dodgers and now college professors. They think that anyone who joins the military voluntarily is stupid. More and more vets are showing up in our classes, so we’ll see how this goes down!
BTW I think, if you were posting under Boeing, that I, at least, remember you!
re: #31 by ghost707
re: #33 by tunnelrat
“Cult” –perfect word choice.
re: #40 by William Teach
Oh yeah, he really is THAT paranoid.
The mere existance of this place drives him batty, as GCP did before.
Keeping Chas unbalanced is a good thing.
re: #44 by Jimmy The Clam
Just wondering if he will shut down 1.0 in a pit of fique?
I say – free bebes boobs!
Unfortunately for some at LGF, they may have to go through some sort of deprogramming “exodus” program to disconnect from the iron grip of the Furher over there. Just take Nancy Reagan’s simple but powerful advice…..JUST SAY NO!!!”
cog got banned!? damn, cog, visit table 9!
re: #42 by Special K
Here’s what you’ll probably receive in reply.”If we didn’t start or participate in unjust wars there would be no need to bury young men and women.” Or some such condescending bs.Elder hippies are sooo embarrassing.
re: #31 by ghost707
Excellent
President Junior “asked” Bibi to put the UN flag in the Temple Mount?
Bibi suposedly said “Who are you?”
Seriously, bibi should have said “Sure man, right after you put the Mexican flag in the Whte House. They are out breeding you anyhow..”.
re: #51 by Mats
Outrageous!Never!
re: #51 by Mats
Oh, I hope that’s true!
Cognito, banned? Man. Welcome to the club.
The song “I want to break free” comes to mind
NO SOUP FOR YOU.
Bibi is telling Bush, ‘Look at the hand!.
Cognito got banned…again?
Heh, check out Charles begging for readers – the stupid kind:

Only “soem” of the bigotry. Charles? Hmmm…
Assuming that’s really you, Charles, what was your lightbulb moment? No, I’m not going to your blog. If you care enough to try to solicit members here, you need to share your epiphany.

I changed when I saw members of the Anti-Jihad movement team up with Euro-Fascists. How can I be against Islamic-Fascism and not against the Euro type? I hate Totalitarianism in any form. I realized I was wrong.

Thanks, Charles. You seem to be realizing some things that can’t be easy to accept, given your prior work. However, could you get back to us when you evolve a philosophy that’s not based on fear? Even though it’s efficient in motivating automatons, fear just isn’t sound policy or conducive to rational action. Thanx again.

Losing revenue?

Interesting, if that IS Charles.
Yeah, no. He never admits he was wrong about anything.
m was right! I went to 1.0 to check if he opened up registration, but no. He did get pissy about someone abusing his name though:

The Lizard Queen blames neo-fascists of course, when everyone in their right mind knows that only paleo-fascists would do such a thing.
Still, the response from left-wingers was probably authentic.
Heh. I just left a rational, simple to understand comment on Chucky’s latest evolution post, explaining that Evolution is still a Theory, after he messed up badly in saying that Evolution is a fact. Poor little dude doesn’t even understand the difference between a Law and a Theory.
Does he even understand that it is called the Theory of Evolution, not the Law of Evolution?
What’s the odds that I get, in the vernacular of the Democratic Underground, tombstoned at LGF1.0?
63. William Teach
Assuming the LGF recon team sees that you posted over here, I’d say the odds approach 1.0.
They’re trying to argue with you over there, Bill. Go say something ban-worthy and glorious.
re: #62 by hoodaticus
Hey! What’s with that link? I clicked on it and was shocked by a “You are an idiot” flashing thingy–gave me a heart attack.
Freak boy thinks it’s funny to redirect traffic from this site to that lame graphic. To get around the redirect, right click on link to 1.0, select “copy link location,” open a new tab, past the link in the address bar of the new tab and hit “enter.”
re: #58 by ChenZhen
Cognito got banned because Charles is too ignorant to tell the difference between a theistic evolutionist and a creationist.
re: #66 by Special K
That’s Charles’ attempt at cleverness. Big fail. Copy and paste it in to get around it.
re: #63 by William Teach
but the definition of Theory has changed.
I’ve read old science textbooks (old as in ones that have hand sketches instead of pictures), showing the definition of a Theory as a best estimation of the interpretation of the experiment’s results in comparison to the hypothesis.
Basically, what seperates a Theory from a Law is that a Law is what happened and can be used to explain what will happen. A theory means it is the guess as to what happened and what may happen.
Nowdays, a Theory has become what Fact uesd to be. . . what, then do they say a Law is?
I believe that Defenseman is Hoosier Hoops one of the more obnoxious LGFers out there.
