To be fair, this is a huge group that was exposed with evidence of malfeasance that indiscriminately censors anything posted by anyone with a less than far-right slant, including innocuous articles about sports and such, as well as harasses known progressive users by reporting them and burying all and any of their posts.

Maybe there’s a liberal version that’s doing the same to you, or maybe there’s just an excess of liberal diggsters that downding (or bury) you because they happened upon your articles and didn’t like them.

Can you say for sure there’s a concerted effort by a large group of progressives to target and send out kill commands to all its members against you? A group that creates sockpuppet accounts and just makes more when they get banned?

That group is insane. The best part was reading about how they believe there’s no algorithm and that there’s a liberal cabal behind Digg that chooses which articles go to the front page, while they simultaneously congratulate themselves for consistently getting their articles on the front page and burying liberal ones.

Still, it sucks that LGF gets the shaft on Digg. I never go there, and this is a problem they’ll either work out or become irrelevant.
