Diggbats Continue to Stalk LGF, Digg Admins Do Nothing

Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 9:55:26 am PDT

Anyone who has a Digg account, please report this person who is stalking LGF: Digg - LGF continues to smear Obama with words, actions of others.

UPDATE at 6/13/08 10:11:44 am:

Here’s the creep’s blog: http://readingtheskies.blogspot.com.

UPDATE at 6/13/08 10:15:17 am:

Another hijacked post: Digg - Conservative blog LGF is completely hypocritical about Obama.

UPDATE at 6/13/08 10:46:59 am:

After several emails to abuse @ digg.com, they’ve finally blocked this account. I had to embarrass them into doing it.

I have never judged Obama by anything other than the words that come out of his mouth, and his own actions.

I'll bet money that he's someone you've recently banned Charles.
But the facts of life are that the "adminstrators" at Digg don't give a flying fig about LGF or honesty or integrity and I say this with all due respect: let's not give these POS's the satisfaction of reading about 'em out here.

13 Lucius Septimius  Fri, Jun 13, 2008 10:00:47am
Panic level desperation sets in at LGF - Obama hasn't said or done anything that warrants the level of blind panic they desire. Coming up next: "Obama acquaintance drives Prius, enjoys baba gannouj"

Panic? More like sport. And he and those surrounding him have said many things that are cause for concern, unless you happen to believe whole heartedly in his ideology of anti-Americanism, creeping socialism, and putative "social justice."

14 kynna  Fri, Jun 13, 2008 10:01:01am

re: #5 republic

I have never judged Obama by anything other than the words that come out of his mouth, and his own actions.

No "smear" is needed.

Here's the thing. They don't even realize anything he's said or done is bad until it's pointed out. Then they get ticked that somebody might get angry about those things and then they realize a lot more people than they expected think those things are uncool and then they decide the whole thing is a smear.

Does that make sense? No. I'm not sure it's supposed to. The murkier the better where the dems are concerned.

Remember when quoting Clinton supporters' in congress being uber-macho hawkish against Saddam Hussein was called 'mean-spirited'.

It's all the same.

We want people to see Obama in the cold, hard, glare of a clear day and with a clear eye.

They're so used to treating opposites as being identical that they've lost any and all grounding in reality. They're positive that they know it all that they don't bother to do a fact check on any of their beliefs.

They're like children who are lost in the amusement park or the woods and yet they expect us to follow their lead regardless of the consequences.

Actually, that "panic level desperation" sounds to me like something someone from Obama's campaign would say.

re: #49 redstateredneck

Here's it's blog.

It is not enough to withdraw from Iraq. Certainly, that must be done immediately and completely. But justice must be served.

I believe it is only good and proper to confiscate the assets of the Bush family, the Cheney family, the families of all high ranking officials in the Bush executive such as Feith, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld etc., and also entire corporations such as Hallibuton, Blackwater, KBR, and the families of every registered member of the RNC. *

Confiscate their assets, create a fund through the United Nations, and use that money for the reconstruction of Iraq and to compensate victims and survivors. That is a course of action that benefits only innocent victims and punishes only the guilty.

That is justice.

It's an intellectual, I see......

You're probably right. Another good option might be to redirect the links to one of those halo-enshrouded, messianic pictures of the Obama.

So I recommend showing us the baddies from time to time. To some extent, the reputation of this blog is a community responsibility, and I'll be happy to help with foot-soldiering.

I doubt they will do anything, but at least we've followed the proper rules for reporting abuse.

re: #90 MajorPribluda
Well, since your profile says you've been here a long time and just changed your nic, then I have to assume you know that there is NO WAY in which Charles could possibly argue facts with them. And even though most of us would be willing foot soldiers (if we didn't have to join Digg, at least) I hate to drive up their traffic.
Look, Charles is a well known and well respected blogger - if the administrators at Digg can't be bothered dealing with his legitimate complaints, why the fuck should we drive up their hit count?

I believe it is only good and proper to confiscate the assets of the Bush family, the Cheney family, the families of all high ranking officials in the Bush executive such as Feith, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld etc., and also entire corporations such as Hallibuton, Blackwater, KBR, and the families of every registered member of the RNC. *

I thought this was mainstream though in the Obama camp.

They may have blocked that creep, but he'll be back. They have absolutely no safeguards to prevent people from simply registering again.

Emotionally, I agree with you, RW. But look--the troll was banned from Digg, and of course it'll be back, but for now, we're one up with the power behind Digg. It seems to me that the right answer when you have no power is to play by the powerful guy's rules. Either that, or simply don't play at all--walk away. The only real power we have at Digg is mass outrage. This translates into an annoyance factor that we need to make sure is not simply troublesome. Squeaky wheel, and so forth. The folks at Digg, no matter how leftist they may be inclined, work hard to keep up a very public website. There's good public and there's bad public. Of course, we should remain good public. What we did with this post actually makes their jobs easier, same as the Obama website. Re-directing will just make us one of the problems to be dealt with.
I, like you, cackle with glee at the thought of re-directing diggbats to something like ISG or lemon party. But I stop at the cackle, and get busy writing or reporting.
We won this one, and in a way which strengthens our hand.

Panic? More like sport. And he and those surrounding him have said many things that are cause for concern, unless you happen to believe whole heartedly in his ideology of anti-Americanism, creeping socialism, and putative "social justice."

And we all know what "social justice" means: pro-"Palestinian", anti-Israel. It's the keffiya-wearing crowd. Their smugness makes me cringe.

One would think that the barrage of questionable associations the Obamessiah keeps would sound alarm bells about the man's true ideals, but the Obamatons continue to ignore the facts and bury their heads deeper into the sand. See no evil, hear no evil,....

Of course, the truth is many of them hate America just as much as the Ireverend Wright, Calypso Louie and all the other Obama Buddies do. I think they're just mad there are people who think for themselves are and looking into things instead of getting in line to worship Obama. We aren't swooning over The Obamessiah and are actually critical of their lord and savior. Blasphemy!

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.

I recall that the powers that be at Digg had classified LGF as a news aggregator, a site that posts news articles from other sites. They were trying to keep these type of sites off the front page because they were having problems with people posting articles on their blogs then digging them in order to create traffic at their blog pages. At least that was their excuse.
This was in an article about a company that you can hire to get your web page enough diggs to get it on the front page.

I looked at that D-bags site and the LGFwatch.....

Wow... talk about stalking Charles...boy oh boy....

I love the "Charles doesn't listen to other opinions/ banning rant".

Not to speak on behalf of Charles, but..

1- He owns LGF and can do what he wishes.
2- Freedom of speech protects the individual from the government, not other individuals. Here's a little test... go to your boss and tell them f' off and try to tell them they can't fire you because of freedom of speech.
3- A majority of moby's & trolls post utter nonsense and either don't respond to questions for explanations or engage in any useful debate.

just my $ .02

I love the "Charles doesn't listen to other opinions/ banning rant".

The ones who complain about me not allowing them to post here are invariably the same ones who rant and toss around obscene insults like foul-mouthed children on crack.

Gee. Now why wouldn't I just open it up and let them post here? It's a real head-scratcher.

I second that.That's another reason why it is pointless to debate/talk to moon/diggbats. The vulgarity that they spew in conversation is quite obscene. I try to watch my language when posting..but it just blows my mind how they can write the vilest filth on signs and parade around (in front of children no less).

New account today, and a vitriolic, unhinged comment to the story at digg.

re: #133 Charles "There's something rotten going on there."
The system is definitely gamed by its own admin. I had a series of "front page" stories, then suddenly everything I submitted was buried in a matter of minutes, no matter haw many diggs it had. Check out digger "Admiral Adama"; prolific and popular, and then suddenly everything he submitted was buried. Carnival game operators have more integrity than digg admin.
