— Ace I really should have known better to tangle with Captain Queeg. Just because now I have to do this post.
This is my own fault. Johnson didn't attack me, he attacked Allah, and Allah's a big boy, and can take care of this stuff himself. So I volunteered to get into the drama; I didn't have to, and that's on me.
Having entered the drama -- my fault again! -- I guess I now have to further it.
But at least I'll put it under the jump.
1. Thanks for publishing the headers of an email I sent you, Charles! On the pretext that I might claim the email is fake. (Hey, why not wait for me to claim that? Then you can expose me as a liar.)
I don't think someone can figure anything out from gmail headers, but it's the sort of threatening creepiness we've come to expect from him. I do appreciate the fresh worries, Chuck.
2. That email about Sweetness and Light is a damnable lie!
3. Oh wait, no it's not; it's genuine. (See, didn't really have to be creepy about this, Queeg.)
For reasons I don't want to get into -- just as when I did not want to get into them when I foolishly mentioned this Johnson -- someone I happen to trust warned me that it would be best to keep a distance from S&L.
That's sort of all I'd like to say, as it was never my idea to take that bit of it public. It was never my problem, but rather the problem of someone else I had sympathy and regard for.
And the hot tone of that email was due to the fact I'd just heard this stuff recently, as in, within the past couple of weeks. Had the thing not been recent in my mind, I would have just said, "Duly noted."
But Charles Johnson thought it best to explicitly name the a third party. Another bit of creepiness -- couldn't have just XXXXd out the third party named? No, of course not; it's The Creep's way of saying "None of your secrets are safe."
And also, of course, alerting S&L that maybe I've got something against him.
4. About his claim that he didn't get his outing-victims' information from PayPal, but rather independently from "publicly available" sources plus his helpful informants: Well, I can't know how he got the information. I note he doesn't deny that the information was available to him via PayPal; he just says he got it from a different source.
So, there's CJ"s version of guaranteed anonymity: If you piss him off, and you've donated to you, he promises he will never out you using information gotten from your donations.
It is his solemn vow that such information will instead be gotten from other sources. Instead of the three-minutes-of-work needed to out you from PayPal information, he promises he will instead put in the several hours of work to track your information from "other sources."
Whether people find that reassuring is up to them. I consider it very dirty pool, as does everyone else. The NYT profile of him noted that this was pretty much unprecedented on the Internet.
5. As to whether he grabs credit and swipes stories: This is a bit of complicated issue, involving blog courtesy and such. Since the rest of this post is so inside-blogball, I guess there's no harm in going further down this rathole.
Let me talk about "swiping stories." Johnson believes that if he throws in a lame hat-tip at the end of a post, he hasn't "swiped a story," because he's given you attribution.
That's not the case. A lame hat-tip at the end of a post covers one's ass, I suppose, in terms of attribution, but it fails to do what a proper link is supposed to do: Throw some traffic.
Some blogs are deliberately "gateway blogs," throwing out traffic wide and far in general furtherance of good-guy blogger boosterism. is deliberately, and most famously, this kind of blog.
Instapundit looks for excuses to link blogs -- not media stories, though he links them too of course; but his primary goal is to call attention to other blogs and "share the wealth." He has a very good reputation along these lines; the only problem with an Instapundit link is that it doesn't throw as much traffic as you'd think it would, but that's largely because he's linking so many blogs during the day that you're just getting a small slice of his readers.
Crucially, if a blog mentions, say, a Reuters story, Instapundit tends to link the blog which tipped him, rather than the Reuters story itself; anyone interested in that story, then, has to at least go through the blog to get to the story. They'll end up at Reuters, but they go through the tipping blog first.
On the other hand, some blogs are very jealous and ungenerous about throwing links and traffic to "competitors." Some blogs fancy themselves not "gateway blogs" but "destination blogs," and attempt to set themselves up as the only blog you need to read.
Not a portal, then, but a terminus.
It has always been my belief that Charles Johnson fancied his blog as that.
Let's say Jammie Wearing Fool tips me to a story. Now, in the story he's linked, there are only three or four quotable paragraphs -- that's the way most news stories go, right? Three or four paragraphs of good stuff, and then some background, and then some filler.
Now, if Jammie Wearing Fool tips me to this story, and quotes the two good paragraphs from it, and then when I push the story I also quote the same two paragraphs, what have I "left behind" at Jammie Wearing Fool that would induce someone to click on his link?
If you take everything from Jammie Wearing Fool, see, you're not throwing him any traffic when you lamely, at post's end, say "Thanks to JWF." That's a hat-tip, sure, and a hat-tip and four bucks will still buy you a cup of Starbucks coffee. But that's all.
To actually throw traffic to the site, you have to be able to say "More at JWF" and you have to kinda-sorta mean it most of the time. There does have to be "more" there, or else readers will soon realize you're lying when you say that.
One thing you can do to "leave something behind" is link Jammie Wearing Fool for the story itself, and not Reuters; in that case, if someone wants to read the original article in full, they have to at least go to Jammie Wearing Fool to get that link.
Sometimes this is sort of hard to avoid, stealing the guts of someone's find. Especially when it's just a hot video being linked -- at that point you have to choose whether to swipe the video and have it on your site, too, or just throw a link to the guy who had it first.
My experience with throwing tips to Charles Johnson was this: Don't bother. Because if you sent him the tip that a Reuters story included interesting paragraph 1, interesting paragraph 2, and interesting paragraph 3, your "reward" from the Great Charles Johnson was seeing this up at his wonderful blog:
Reuters [direct link to Reuters story]:
Interesting Paragraph 1. [which you sent him]
Interesting Paragraph 2. [which you sent him]
Interesting Paragraph 3. [which you sent him]
Via Ace of Spades. [Gee, thanks! You mentioned me! You see that, Ma? I'ma somebody now!]
It quickly dawned on me that if I wanted any traffic from LGF readers, the right strategy was to not tip Charles Johnson, thus forcing, sort of, his readers to come over to my blog and see for themselves if I'd found anything of interest.
Because, if I sent Johnson a tip, that whole tip was going up on his site, pretty much, just as I myself had put it on mine, with no apparent reason for any reader to click through to me. In other words, having an Ace of Spades tip up at LGF pretty much meant his readers wouldn't come over to the site, as they'd know that CJ had faithfully reproduced the only interesting thing on my site that day.
Better, then, to leave it up in the air as to whether anything interesting was going on on this site then, so at least I'd get curiosity-clicks.
It's kind of screwed up when you realize you probably get more traffic by not being linked from a site than being linked by it.
I never really sent out too many tips to anyone, but when I realized LGF was a big site (which came sort of late -- I only became aware of him kinda late in the Blog 1.0 period), I did occasionally send him tips when I sent them out to the other heavier-hitters.
Eventually I just stopped tipping him, because, I figured, why do any favors for him if none would be coming back in return?
Hell, let him find the story I found on his own. If I'm not going to get the proper link-back, then why should I just be one of his tipsters?
This is what I mean by "swiping stories." I'm not saying he doesn't offer a hat-tip. But I'm saying few in the blog-world (apart from newbies) give a crap about a hat-tip; what people want is traffic, fresh eyes checking out their sites; and Charles Johnson has been extremely begrudging and stingy about leaving anything behind at blogs he got tips from.
And this is what bloggers meant on this score, and why other bloggers simply stopped tipping him altogether. Wasn't worth the time it took to cut and paste an email, or to even bcc him into one you already did.
Unless you really just wanted to see your blog mentioned on the Great Little Green Footballs (and personally, I never got the attraction), or were big into advancing your numbers on that The Truth Laid Bear chart, what's the point?
As I said, he thinks of his site as a terminus, not a gateway. Fine. He wants his blog to be one-stop shopping, with no reason to visit other blogs. Again, fine.
But also: duly noted.
As for grabbing credit: Like I said, I realize the media wants to simplify stories to include the fewest number of actors. I get that. That's not Charles Johnson's fault. That's the way it is.
But somehow the media keeps getting the idea that Charles Johnson was the originator, or at least "the central blogger" in RatherGate.
Does he correct them? I realize that even if he corrected them in an interview, that might not make it to print.
But see this NYT profile of Johnson, calling him "the central blogger" in Rathergate. (Emphasis added by me.)
Johnson takes issue with the (quite derogatory) profile in a pair of posts; though he offers the profile several "fact-checks" (some pretty dubious), I don't see him offering any kind of nuance to their claim that he was "the central blogger" in Rathergate.
I don't see him saying, "I was a central blogger on Rathergate, but Powerline and BillINDC were also central players, not to mention the non-blogger BuckHead who broke the story, and I told them so: And yet they couldn't even get that much right."
Whether he affirmatively grabs credit I don't know, and I couldn't know. I'm not privvy to what it is he claims to media reporters.
It does seem to me that the media tends to overstate his centrality in these stories, and it also seems to me he's never been terribly eager to correct their overstatements.
Passively permitting the media to overstate your role is also a kind of spotlight-grabbing, after all: Ask Blumenfield in Connecticut. The media kept somehow getting the impression he'd been a soldier in Vietnam, and, despite frequently demanding corrections on other matters, he never corrected them on this point.
This last point is fairly churlish on my part, because Johnson did, definitely, play an important role in Rathergate; that GIF was a terrific visual.
Still -- it was a GIF. He put together two screencaps and made them cycle between each other. No credit for BillINDC, who actually landed an interview with the author of the Bible of typography (only later contacted by the media), who said that typeface simply didn't exist in the seventies. Nor credit to Rathergate.com, nor Powerline, and so on.
Look: At the end of the day, as cool as it was, Charles Johnson made a GIF. And then he did what every other blogger was doing -- he linked stories.
The central blog? Well... a central blog, sure. But more accurately: A big blog with a lot of traffic that linked stories, same as everyone else. Which also made a GIF.
Like I said: A terminus blog.

The guy is just doing some more of his patented internet whoring trying to stir up the pot to get some much needed traffic to his nearly defunct blog. He basically sits on his ass all day types up one or two bland paragraphs about something he cribbed from somebody else.
He made a name for himself from other peoples hard work when he himself has never left his basement.......except to jump on his Huffy and take ghey ass beach pictures with his 7-11 disposable camera.

I know that my opinion only matters insofar as I am a consumer of their stuff and provider of traffic. FWIW there are blogs I visit frequently (AoSHQ, Jawa, HotAir, neoneocon, Althouse), blogs I used to visit frequently (Protein Wisdom), blogs I forget to visit frequently but wish I'd remember to visit more frequently (Closing Velocity, Powerline), and blogs I checked out a couple of times and found uninteresting (Atlas Shrugs).
Then there's LGF, a place so toxic and twisted that I will no longer even visit out of morbid curiosity. I don't care what Johnson did in the past or why he is so angry now, I just wish he'd get whatever help or attention or therapy he needs to move on with his life. Barring that, I think there's a very real possibility this guy will injure himself or others. Actually, "outing" his donors or people with whom he disagrees already qualifies in my book as an injury.

To be honest, I couldn't really even see the appeal of it when it was big. The writing wasn't anything special. There wasn't much new when I'd go over there (probably for the reasons you mentioned, people wouldn't tip him)--I'm against extreme Islamism, but after the 500th post on the topic, I got the point.
The comments also weren't that interesting even before the purging. To be fair, other commenters here say they used to be very good in the early 2000s, which was before I paid attention to it.

My son and I watched it a couple of nights ago. Overall, we liked it, but we thought it started out way too dramatic with the music. After about 20 minutes in, things settled down and we enjoyed it the rest of the way. As you stated, great cinematography.

Because I pulled a funny and make a joke in the comments section of LGF 2.0 and in my own section; I said something to the effect of "Hey Chuckie! My Glock is calling your name!" and he totally lost it and banned me from viewing his blog. I mean, I was being funny and that little poodle humper acts like a made a specific threat against him, which I did not.

In all honesty, that difference is counterintuitive. Remember when Lee Harvey Dipshit made his appearance the other day? Before Ace had a chance to velcro up his shoes and send that little Thai boy on his way so he could deal with it, that fuckweed had been utterly abused, people had been notified, etc. It's, ironically, the opposite of authoritarian. It's collective.
For some reason I had a brief email exchange with the Ewok during the whole HotAir "Wookie" kerfuffle, where he said to the effect "I think that shit started at our place". Not "my place".
This joint is a socialist dream, in that it's a collective culture.
I think the difference with LGF is obvious.

Re outing, I've been outed before; by flenser on this site in fact. I posted at Gates Of Vienna and he followed me there. Read it here. (Or, don't read it; because the admins, much as I disagree with them elsewhere, buhleeted his outing attempt.)
That gives me some perspective on what CJ did to Rodan. Rodan was already a public figure, sorta, when CJ let loose his name. Likewise, I've been posting here and elsewhere for many years - not braggin', cause I got little content worth the braggin' about, just sayin'. So Rodan can call CJ a slimy little douche, like flenser is a slimy little douche, but can't (and doesn't) much care about the outing.
As for savage, I haven't asked him, but I doubt he cares much about the outing either. He's told us his profession; nobody in it gives a shit what he'd say on LGF or blogmocracy or anywhere else.

Did Cronkite come to me? No, that Zapruder guy got all the glory
I was going to review a movie afterwards even though ace would steal it from me. I just happened to see Lee Harvey sitting in a theater seat rubbing his crotch when I called the police. Dallas PD showed me no love for that tipoff either

218 Everyone has access to these news stories. No one has a monopoly on them. If a blogger discusses a story in Reuters there is no law that says other bloggers can't discuss it, too. And they don't have to link other bloggers who maybe had it up on their blog first.
But if you found out about it from a person and they already have a post on it, there is a matter of courtesy. Even when people don't have a blog and merely e-mails ace, he'll give recognition if it was an individual and not 45 people all sending him the link. Its not a matter of discussion, its crediting the people that put you on the path.

Remember: when you write stuff don't, you don't convey body language or tone of voice. And if you don't comment often, then people don't have much history to judge you by. So however it sounded in your head, posts like that come off as threatening and creepy. (I've done it myself a few times, by accident, because I forgot that things sound different when spoken aloud versus being written down.)
Excellent point. Especially for an irreverent place like AOS.

This ain't an argument you're going to win pal, we take our firearms and the right to own them seriously. Being flippant about those rights and threatening other peoples lives even in a joking manner ain't gonna win you a whole lot of friends around here.

But this isn't about situations where people write about the same subject. This is a case of for example you writing a blog post, posting it and then e-mailing me and saying hey check this out. Then I go and write a blog post about it, highlighting the exact same information and then at the end going HT moi. Wouldn't it be more courteous of me to write a post that says Moi has an interesting bit of information over at their blog. The point of sending a link to another blog is to hope you gain some traffic from it. Stealing isn't even being brought up.

If I am not mistaken there was already a law on using the mail to issue death threats and they thought that they needed one to cover the internet as well.

I'm ususally a big movie fan myself, but yeah so far this summer has been pretty slow. Wanted to see Robin Hood, but the mediocre reviews put me off that. Still want to see Inception.
There is a film noir called The Killer Inside Me with Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba, and Kate Hudson that looks pretty good. Based on a 50s novel. Tried to read it, it actually gave me a nightmare, which is rare for a book or movie to do that. Real life is scary enough these days with the state of national and world affairs these days. Don't know when for sure the movie comes out, but I will give it a try.
And, yes there is supposed to be a Hangover 2 at some point. They were already planning a sequel while making the first Hangover.

Actually the screencap did not work -
- MS Windows screen fonts and print fonts are sometimes a little different - here the screen font and the print font had different superscripts - CJs original GIF was a screencap and the only remarkable diff was the superscript th jumping up and down- hence a lot of the initial shiite about Ranther.

He also claimed he only outed people that had threatened him... but can't provide a link to me doing any such thing because it never happened.
He didn't ban me for promoting genocide either... actually I was one of the main ones arguing AGAINST genocide back when he left the comments alone.
He didn't ban me at all - I told him to delete my account because he had went fucking nuts... THEN he deleted my account and posted my full name after I had hit the tip jar multiple times over the years.

I never read the blog. (I mean past tense, I have not ever read it, not I do not currently read it.)
I signed up once a couple of years ago when super-sekrit open registration was going on, looked around at the site and the comment threads and found no reason to ever go back again.
I found the posts to be superficial and the commentary to be so chaotic as to meld into an incredibly ugly, boring sum.

As for linkbacks, it's considered bad form to cut and paste the entirety even if you do link. A short excerpt for subject matter is OK
Taking an entire story, linking back to a few AP source articles, and then at the very bottom putting in H/T so-and-so is considered assholery.
Even if Jonah only said "Wow", you knew of the story from his tip. Hit NRO, then the link to the source story.

OMG- CJ used to link to Zombie, with adoration, all the time.
Charles is a back-stabbing asshole.

Yea, and her only sin was, she didn't police and censor her blog enough to satisfy Charles' expectations to rid any offensive comments regarding the Lizard Fuhrer.
May have been because she rarely read the comment posts on her own blog and only checked in about every week or so, kinda like ace does.
I keed, I keed of course.

"That which was to be demonstrated."
Or, in moron, at the end of an argument, "so bite me".
Heh.
I musta bin a Moron 10 years before Ace of Spades even existed.
End of a 7 blackboard Euclidean proof (we only had 5 in the room) complete with diagrams and verbal explication (including on the fly Q&A, no notes BTW), I properly ended by chalking Q.E.D.
Bell rang, some students scribbled last minute notes, others gathered their back-packs and others just booked it for lunch.
I stood up at the board in kind of a daze.
The room was mostly empty when I next moved.
Unfortunately, my Professor was kind of in the doorway when I slam-dunked my chalk and eraser into the trash bin and shouted, "Take that, bitches! That's how shit gets proved!".
Forever after, he could not look at me without laughing a bit.

One thing the girlfriend should have mentioned is that Affleck had a conflict of interest in the matter: He'd only get famous if he revealed the crime. If he buried it, he'd remain a nobody schnoob.
That's a good point. I leaned toward Affleck but it was a tough call.
Explaining why would require giving away to much I think.

One more thing regarding Zombie. Since CJ gave her the the Birkenstocked boot, she has now become a regular contributor over at Pajamas Media. You know, the site Chuckles helped to found with michelle Malkin and then got kicked out of.
Thats got to sting like a thousand cigarette burns to his limp cheese encrusted cock.
His loss, not hers.

But truth was - he liked the adoration (and obviously wasn't going to get it on the Left after dissing Rather), but his pink little heart wasn't in it. In a way, you have to give him some credit for finally owning up to his liberalism (well, he didn't really - claimed he was getting put off by the Birthers, etc., but that's all transparent BS).
So, I went over to HotAir, and they banned me for dissing dumb voters and pointing out that the system needs to be changed if we're ever going to stop being ruled by socialists (too many people want to vote for people who promise to rob the "lucky rich guys" and spread it around). At that time AllahP was kind of up-tight about criticism from LGF - about letting wacko right-wingers comment at will.
Am pretty pleased here.
Ace, you're doing a great job here - forget Charles. He's self-destructing, and will soon be bought out by Kos or HuffPo - or simply explode and get disgusting lizard guts all over the floor. Thanks for being a haven for sanity.

He's liable to contact the FBI or Homeland security just for you saying you want to rustle up a posse against him. At any rate, he's not worth the effort. Sooner or later he's gonna get his pony tail caught in a rusty bicycle sprocket on his way to snap a picture of Overnight Empty Twinkie Wrapper and go tumbling headfirst into a canyon and raped by wolves.
Probably not, but one can dream, can't they ?

The thing that amazed me most was his vehemance towards the Tea Parties. These were organized to protest the government overspending and taxation. Their origin is in the fiscal conservatism. They never seemed to have anything to do with social conservative issues. They seemed like the perfect thing for LGF to be all for since he had gone off on his "Christianity is stoopid" campaign.
But people like Glenn Beck had already backed the Tea Parties so he couldn't be seen associating with them.

"Chuck~ hey wait... I think it already has! It must suck to be that fat, that unhappy, that stupid, that poor ("hit the tip jar, PLEEEEEEZE i can't even afford a new shirt!") and that ugly."
Also, if you recall the picture he used to have posted at his website with his hair all combed out and looking up as if he was some kind of stud, and yes you have a bingo there on your last post.
I do not believe he thinks he is ugly; quite the contrary if you saw that picture.

I usually make it a point to say something like, "According to Jimbob Jumpants from The National Thinking Spectator of American On-Line Commentary, "We Are Boned".
Then I'll make a link out of a relevant quote that steered me towards the news source.
But that's just me.
I would feel weird about following a link or two because I twigged to it from NRO and then present it as if it was all my idea, in the first place.
I will never be the man that Glenn Beck is,.

Big time. Blows his brother away. Excellent movie. Has anyone seen the Jessie James movie? Wasn't he in that as well....
I've never seen Casey, but I think Ben is a hell of an actor. Problem is, he's not often put in the right role. I know Asteroid (Armageddon? whatever) was dumb, but he was great in that, f/x. Like when Willis' character stays on the asteroid and stuffs Affleck's character back into the airlock, Affleck puts on a tear jerking performance. I think--there's something about him--he's just hard to cast right. I don't know what it is. But he can Act.
He was great in Good Will Hunting. That last scene? You know, where he goes to the house and finds that his friend has finally gone? Yeah, that one. Wow. Or where the briany asshole confronts him in the bar. In the right role, he can string together a ton of great "moments."
Plus, he's brilliant. He's the smart one out of the--who's that dogfaced guy? He's the smart one out of the Affleck-Damon pair.
If he boned-up on a more objective brand of politics--the kind not based on attitude and in-group thinking--and if he took a Reagan-esque right turn, he could run for anything. Any. Office.

CJ is a creepy slimy slug in the garden of life. Getting banned for disagreing with him was a good thing for me. I found this blog, much more fun and interesting then LGF. I mostly lurk and read the comments (usually hilarious) but I have to say I wouldn't let a closed minded asshat like CJ get to me. Most sites worth reading have taken him off their blogrolls which is a good thing. He just like "advertising" his drama to get traffic. CJ calls other people haters when he's the biggest hater of all.
Posted by: cherry oh at June 13, 2010 05:06 AM (p4rmQ)
CJ isn't worth "any" effort. Ignore him. I tuned out when he started his personal jihad against Spencer, Gates of Vienna, and Atlas.
Personally, I prefer the link to the blog, rather than the original article. If I'm interested enough, I don't mind a trip to the original source. I try to keep accessing certain "originals" sites to a minimum. I really don't like adding "hits"
to MSM sites.

Oh, wow. Flashback. That was when Maddow was on "Meet the Press" and shocked everyone -- I remember David Brooks even being dumbfounded -- by doing the third-hand guilt-by-association on Palin. What's particularly weird about that incident is that Maddow often has Dave Weigel on her show, and I've been beer buddies with Weigel since 2006 or so.
What the LGFers can't seem to understand is that not everything knowable can be learned via Internet. The Southern Poverty Law Center, among others, devoted considerable effort to assembling an online portrait of me as an Evil Menace and, frankly, it was quite an education to discover how I'd unwittingly lent myself to that depiction.
The SPLC in particular, and liberals in general, were only interested in me circa 2000-08 as a weapon with which to attack The Washington Times and, by extension, to impugn those nasty evil Republicans. Because my job was news, and not opinion, I was under orders to shut my mouth and not respond, not to explain, not to defend, etc. As unpleasant as that enforced silence was, I had time to reflect about what had happened, what it meant, and to think how I'd respond if it ever happened again.
Some of my blog friends are friends with Zombie (whom I've never met) and had referenced Zombie vis-a-vis the LGF episode, suggesting that I'd best be walking the straight path lest Zombie decide I was under-the-bus-worthy because, given the choice between me and Zombie, I wasn't all that important to them.
So whoever Zombie is, there's a lot of righteous blog-karma there. And for CJ to ban Zombie was therefore quite stupid.
How many of the commenters on that October '09 thread have subsequently been banished from LGF? Didn't Irish Rose at last get herself clobbered with the Banning Stick?

I found your site a few years ago through LGF, and after finding your site much more interesting, dropped LGF like a hot rock. Haven't been back since, and haven't missed the "LGF Experience", either.
