		<description>&lt;i&gt;What did people say to her?&lt;/i&gt;

Nothing. She popped in on a quiet morning, delivered her little missive, and promptly left.

What you all say about becoming friends is exactly right. A bunch of us were banned for updinging Eric Cartman&#039;s Conscience, and we found a way to reconnect. We opened our own &quot;Lounge&quot; and set about finding lost friends and making new ones. We, like The Blogmocracy, are a refuge for those who have been banned, and a place to touch base with people you knew and liked from your time at LGF. (btw - Some did email Charles for an explanation, none received an answer)

No one &#039;hates&quot; Charles - in fact, we credit him for the once great blog he had, and the fact that, were it not for him, we might never have met. But no one likes what they are seeing over there now, with the brutal treatment of visitors and ex-&quot;Lizards,&quot; and the strained silence and psycho-phantic behavior and complicity of those remaining.

It&#039;s often said that it is his blog and he has a right to do what he wants - and no one disputes that. But he has no right to attack and denigrate his readers for visiting other blogs, linking other blogs, or having other online nics. Geez. It is a blog. No blood-loyalty oaths required.

LIke I said, Sharmuta (who posted about this on LGF) - Leave. Us. Alone. No one is stalking you. No one cares if you love LGF. More power to you. Leave. Us. Alone.</description>

		<description>Re #240 Zimriel:

&quot;Even after all of that, I was going to keep defending Charles...&quot;

I myself was late to the party. The first year that Johnson embarked on his smear campaign against the European anti-jihadists and those he associated with them (rightly and wrongly) in America, I tried to stay out of it. 

But there is a lateness to the party that manifests a moral myopia that is extremely severe. After what Johnson did (and does) to Pamela Geller, his jihad against Glenn Beck, his lies about Ann Coulter, and on and on and on, for someone to say &quot;even after all of that, I was going to keep defending Charles&quot; is like the defiant fascist salute Ezra Pound gave when he returned to Italy in 1958. 

In other words, by that time it was easy to be on the right side, and those who were still on the wrong side were suffering from profound disabilities of judgment and moral sense.</description>

He is a nasty piece of work and his threats cannot harm us at all. As for Irish Rose, I wish that I was in the chat room when she popped her ugly face in, she would have regretted it! What did people say to her?</description>

Zimriel welcome! I also know that you probably regret referring to us as insidious bad apples - we are definitely not and everyone makes mistakes! I witnessed your banning and you said nothing that deserved a banning - only pointed out the obvious - that LGF was an anti conservative blog. Anyway I hope you stick around here, it will remind you of the old LGF.

Why would people keep defending Charles after he unceremoniously (and quite rudely) banned then? Interesting psychological proposition.</description>

		<description>Welcome Zimriel,

No worries!  Freedom to debate is what we want, currently we are primarily a collection of conservative exiles, both voluntarily or by selrahC, but we welcome dialogue.  Comments may be deleted, but I don&#039;t think anybody has been shown the door Elian Gonzalez style. 

It is everything that we who had been a part of the blog that shan&#039;t be named without the upanddowndings and karma crap.  If somebody has an opinion good, bad or neutral, just say it.  Dings, what a silly ass way to rate a comment</description>
