This has been quite obvious for some time. As for Charles Johnson using different screen names to attack others, defend himself, and pen his own hagiography - I am a blogger (although a very private one). I get a very respectable number of hits daily. I began "reviewing" my commentary boards when I began to suspect that "Charles Johnson" of LGF was using several names to comment on the same string. To boot, I discovered two of his personae arguing on one of my boards. Too much! I began routinely reviewing my commentary boards and removing anything from Charles Johnson. It helped that my younger brother is an IT specialist/consultant who does LOTS of work for clients in the law and justice sectors. Charles Johnson is not NEARLY as knowledgeable about the internet as he presumes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-64895039652864021572009-09-20T18:29:00.871-04:002009-09-20T18:29:00.871-04:00Bank on it: Johnson has constructed a group of soc...Bank on it: Johnson has constructed a group of sockpuppets to defend himself and attack his attackers: I'm betting he is the one using these long-term constructed personas to do things like go on HotAir and post racist comments; for a long long time he's maintained he never comments anywhere: sorry, we don't buy it. He's way too obsessed. He simply uses one of his carefully constructed alters, who by now have long term posting histories at LGF comments, and a certain verisimilitude that comes from a long-term history of commenting. He disguises his IP with proxies or scripts (for such a l337 coder, should be np, right right?) and googles his name constantly and battles the forces of evil (read: anyone who gainsays CJ). It's Glenn Greenwald all over again: Even with all his leftard sycophants, Greenwald had to defend and flatter himself and attack his enemies personally (as a fake screenname) because again, no one else gives a shit but the principle involved. And anyone as obsessed with their own online persona as Johnson or Greenwald can't leave it in the hands of amateurs: they must defend themselves the correct way, but they can't be seen as doing it themselves: voila, sockpuppet army.<br /><br />I think Johnson's sockpuppets may have become real people to him. He may hold conversations with them as he sits before his moniter, pulling the many strings of his web, a mad Ahab attacking the white whale that torments him.<br /><br />I look for LGF to implode in the next 6 months: one way or another, it will cease to be. Mental breakdown, self-inflicted harm, I don't know what the mechanism will be, but LGF is a doomed ghost ship, sailing over the edge of the waterfall.docweaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149338353111570983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-1162001526822787252009-09-20T18:28:44.116-04:002009-09-20T18:28:44.116-04:00my theory, and I've expounded on this many tim...my theory, and I've expounded on this many times, is that Johnson fancies himself a Renaissance man, very enlightened and intellectual and just a bit "better than" your average blogger, especially ignorant ass Jesus jumpers and the like. So for what did he anbd his blog become primarily known? Being a Muslim bashing site. If any leftist or mainstream outlet referenced him, he was called at minimum "anti-Jihad/anti-Muslim" and usually a Muslim basher. I think it really irked him. So, he decided to go radical "anti-racist". In the course of doing so, right-blogs started calling him on his obsession with accusing others of racism to burnish his own supposed anti-racism. This started a really vindictive jihad of his own against anyone who crossed him.<br /><br />We've been in the internet forum business a long time, and Johnson and his field of sycophantic commenters bear all the hallmarks of an army of sockpuppets Johnson maintains (at his own site, where only he can see the IPs, which we used to use to identify people using "alters" to argue in their own defense and attack their attackers).<br /><br />First, he's stupidly forgotten to log off a sockpuppet and has posted as the site owner on several occasions. Secondly, no one gives as much a shit as the person involved in a flamewar. No one, certainly no group of people, are going to vociferously defend Johnson or tend his flamewars except the principle being written about: Johnson. We know forum and comment thread psychology: no one cares about your flame war with someone as much as you do. And Johnson's commenters care WAAAAAAAAAY too much. The other thing is, even a group of sycophants will misjudge the boss's intent when defending or echoing him, and deviate, even unintentionally from the party line. CJ's front-line defenders and sycophants never hit a wrong note. They are always perfectly in tune with Charles' philosophy in all things. This again smacks of sockpuppets. He can't even wield them intelligently, his attacks and defense are blunt instruments. His flattery of himself is risibly heavy handed: his sockpuppets will regularly make such comments as "I never thought of it that way" or will routinely ask Johnson for more information. A really hilarious one was where his sockpuppets were asking how he pulled off a particularly impressive bit of coding: obviously, Johnson was super-proud of a little bit of code-fu, and your normal commenter will never notice, so you ask yourself (as another character) how you were so genius as to pull it off! And you graciously give complete details, now that your sockpuppet has asked.<br /><br />Another tell is that many of his most ardent defender members are female. Again, as long time forum admins, we can tell you this is classic "sockpuppet farmer" behaviour: a large group of adoring females agrees with everything you say and defends your every move and assails your enemies.docweaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149338353111570983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-20779877122074998482009-09-19T16:30:52.700-04:002009-09-19T16:30:52.700-04:00Huh, I'm grateful now to Charles. Researching ...Huh, I'm grateful now to Charles. Researching WTF happened to get Afrocity banned (she dared have friends at both LGF and LGF2 - I mean, how could she? /) led me to really, really read this blog, Joshuapundit, AoS, LGF2, Atlas Shrugged, and a dozen or more others. It was like finding a whole new section of the library to check out.<br /><br />When his traffic bump from the meltdown disappears, I hope he is happy hanging with the ill-natured troll-game-playing sycophants who stay with him. I guess a tiny cult you can control absolutely is better than a large and chaotic community that makes you think.<br /><br />I used to love reading the fun and often though-provoking posts from littleoldlady, gallopinggranny, mandy, wrathofg-d, and so many others - the community breaking apart like this is nearly tragic. But there's a bright and shining side,too: historically, diasporas of intellectually-rich people has resulted in their cultural seeds being planted in the areas where they land. The bad posters from LGF will vanish. The really good ones will never shut up (TG!), and the blogosphere will be richer for them in the end.kywritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601524805207425768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-42282425833040503822009-09-19T07:56:15.501-04:002009-09-19T07:56:15.501-04:00Charles Who?

But I did notice that Charles allowed a small group of exotic religious grandmas to really hand out slaps to those with whom they didn't 100% agree. He even added plus/minus signs! And, then I knew Charles was an idiot. With a selected group of idiots. Singing the same tune.<br /><br />Ah, then, I noticed something else. I noticed Charles would take away someone's "permit to post." And, he'd brag how he made this person cry to him in their emails begging to return. Say, what? This isn't a job!<br /><br />So, I got this picturem where Charles liked that very much. Both the begging. And, the few who'd be let back inside.<br /><br />You also can't count "400 posts" as being anything more than about 40-insiders talking to one another. BORING. <br /><br />Why did I go there in the first place? It was Dan Rather time. With the famous posted memo. Yes. Charles was clever. He put the memo on view, and a transparency on top, obviously typed on a computer. It flashed. And, bingo, a visual was born. C-BS, no more.<br /><br />But what that site became?

He was a great man, once, and like RSM, I'm praying for him to learn the error of his ways, because I, too am enjoined not to hate anyone, even fools, idiots, or Marxists.<br /><br />But I will grin and point his direction when a good example of a bad example is needed.
