I was banned by Charles Johnson, the man behind the LGF curtain.
Just went to log onto Little Green Footballs and found out that I'd been banned. I guess it was the last post I shamelessly linkwhored on his little link thingy. I thought it was humorous, evidently Mr. Johnson did not.
Either that or he didn't appreciate the fact that I had the nerve to reference the mention of Obama and his birth certificate at yesterday's White House presser and on Fox News. I seem to remember he has some double secret rules about it or something.
Odd. Mr. Johnson's latest LGF post deals with that very topic.
I guess only the great Charles Johnson is able to write about it with his trademark 'nirth certifikit' phunny. Or something.
Whatever. LGF will do just fine without me and I will do just fine without them. It's a big cyber world out there.
(Besides all his hatin' on people, places and things was beginning to get a bit tedious.)
I never thought of Charles as a hater, but he does ban people. Though he knows it isn't fair, he felt a bit put upon when people would quote his commenters back to him, to embarass him.

Thanks for your comment, Mr. Meaker. I didn't comment much on the day to day threads, mostly hit the live threads, but I always tried to play it straight.
And to me, it's the info that's the important thing and the link thingy on his site provided a good forum for a lot of the Islamist news that never hit the light of MSM day.
Lately it seems he's kind of gone off the deep end with his brick wall stance on Creationism, Evolution, Geert Wilders, Pamela Gellar, etc
But it's his site, he's entitled to do with it what he will.
Like I said - I don't think he's going to miss me that much!
Cheers - Dinah.

Don't feel bad Dinah it took 3 whole days from my registering to being banned by Mr Johnson.
And I didn't use any dirty words, merely innuendo.
I guess the power to ban makes him feel omnipotent.
Or even Obamapotent!

Three whole days, Toejam? You must have been slacking! LOL.
Didn't Mr. Johnson ban people for "First"ing the comments, too?
(Thanks for coming by and commiserating with me. I appreciate it.)

Just tried to login and I've been banned as well. Funny though, I haven't been to LGF in ages. Don't know what I did to get the boot, maybe being AWOL.

Take it as a badge of honor, he's an assclown

Twinster.
Oh dear, I read that Mr. Johnson had banned commenters for just being married to someone that was banned - now he's banning people for being a secret twin to someone he banned?
Haha.
Is Mr. Johnson with all his fancy-schmancy computer skills having computer problems? Wouldn't that be funny if it was just a goofy glitch that got me! And me getting all bent out of shape for nothing? Bwa-ha-ha.
(I took last week off, but before that I logged on pretty frequently - being a shameless linkwho%& and lurker and all. Who knows what really happened?)

Don: "I never thought of Charles as a hater"
Tell me you're joking? He hates everyone, so many people I don't want to spend a hour half listing them.

I hope Mr Johnson falls off his $1,000.00 racing bicycle and breaks his $1,000.00 Nikon camera.
I wish him no harm, however....well perhaps a skinned knee.

I'm hearing a lot of negative commentary about LGF, it's a shame, they used to have a good reputation back in the day. Things change i suppose.

I was recently banned from there as well. I posted the title of an article with the link back to my site, like I did there on a daily basis. But if you clicked back to my site, this story's hat tip was to Atlas Shrugs. The next day I went to LGF to post again, but I could not as I was banned. I emailed CJ asking him very politely why I was banned. He did not respond, but it is not hard to figure out the reason.
This was what was on my site, along with the rest of the article.
Obama Appoints Devout Muslim to Homeland Security Post
Our Islamic loving President Obama has appointed Arif Alikhan a devout Sunni Muslim to assistant secretary for the Office of Policy Department of Homeland Security. Mr. Alikhan was instrumental in taking down the LA Police Department's plan to monitor it's Muslim community.
Hat tip to Atlas Shrugs.

Oh for crying out loud, Christopher! That was it? That's what got you banned? Unbelievable.
Thanks for posting - I had no idea about this Arif Alikhan character's appointment to DHS. Talk about putting the fox in charge of the hen house! You'd think this is the type of information that Mr. LGF would want to see disseminated...
(I'm happy to report your banning sure hasn't slowed you down any. Keep up the good work, compadre.)
