Docudharma Goes Stalinist
A few weeks ago I signed up at Docudharma as Davefromqueens. I didn't try using it. I noticed I couldn't log in so I thought I must have just made a mistake with my password. So it was resent to me. Still couldn't log in, something seemed fishy.
Last night I signed up as davefromqueens1. There are some there I like and respect. So I figured I could post on occasion some common thoughts. I also vowed to myself not to mention DailyKos or the Kos Kops. Not my intent to bring the meta over there. Having my weekly Sunday column which summarizes the subject is sufficient enough.
So what happened? Banned. What reason? Docudharma has his nose up Markos Moulitsas ass for it is his "blogfather." So Jerome the Dung Armstrong bans me and other Obama supports from Mydd. Stalinist Kos officially banned me after I said I was leaving. FSZ is no PFF. It's a clusterfuck of about 20-25 individuals, many of whom are anti-Semites, anarchists, and actual castoffs. And now Docudharma bans me so as not to displease the Kos. (Hey coward, then change your rules to make it clear you will ban people for any reason you want. Kos too should change his rules and be honest about them. Again I respect anyone's right as a private blog to ban any person they want for any or no reason at all. I don't respect dishonesty about it.) It never occurred to this turkey that you should simply let davefromqueens1 post and if davefromqueens1 brought the meta in, then you kick him out. And these people call themselves Democrats? Oh please, they are just as bad as Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.
Hey Stalinist gatekeepers of the Townhouse and their progenies! I've been exposing your loser asses for over 3 months now. You still haven't learned.
I was prebanned from Docudharma--as were a lot of other people who'd fallen afoul of the Kos Kops. I think they even prebanned Sabrina, who is anything but a troll.

It was surprising, I had no idea. Thing is
1. I planned on only posting there sporadically and;
2. I was never going to mention DailyKos or the Kos Kops.
And the great thing about my history is that while I'm liberal, I happen to be in the mainstream and pragmatic. I also happen to have gotten off my ass dozens of different times and gone out and made things happen.
James Pence of Hillbillyreport was exactly right when he said certain people have their heads so far up Markos ass that they would lick it if he told them to. Docudharma has proven to be an example. If I wasn't banned, their link gets dropped from Daily Kos.
Kos' strategy with dissenters is almost always to starve the oxygen and try to ignore you in the entirety. He read Alinksy's book and said, "How do I emulate those who wanted to silence Alinksy." However he can't do that with someone like me b/c I know a million and one ways to get heard if need be. Screen names can be changed ever so slightly that I could come up with 50,000 variables for just one name. Can't preban them all. There is that thing called a proxy to route the IP somewhere away from my usual locations. There are times and places to make my point without overdoing it or overreaching. For every way they starve the oxygen, I can find 10 new air passages to breath the oxygen. So this strategy hasn't worked out well for him.
The biggest enemy of Kos is Kos. He's doing a fine job destroying the site. I just don't want him destroying progressives and the Democratic party in the process, something he has already done. Fortunately for us, the a**holes on the Republican side are far more notorious so that Kos the admitted a**hole is seen as the lesser of two evils by the few who even know who he is.

SA I'm losing my touch.
Most Democratic bloggers figured out that Kos was an asshole by 2004-2007. It took me until 2008.
Most people realized docudharma is Stalinist excrement by 2007 yet it took me until January 2009 to learn all this.
Most people knew the Kos Kops were scum and the bottom of the internet scrape by 2006. I was 2 years behind the curve.
Why am I always slower than most of my fellow bloggers?
BTW, all us ex Kossacks need to show up at Netroots Nation in 2009 and make it clear who speaks for the netroots.
