He quit it after 7/7 atrocity in the UK. Now others run it." Well you're either being dishonest or can't get your facts straight. As for the anonymity factor, I don't blame LGFW, after all it wasn't them that got a call from the Feds about death threats being issued was it? So come on where's the "dangerous harassment activities" and "Vile and libelous attacks"? Proof please! “The original owner of LGF Watch was a poster at LGF pretending; all the while running LGF Watch. He quit it after 7/7 atrocity in the UK. Now others run it.”

They are simply there to push their agenda - LGF, JihadWatch, etc. These people don't give a crap about Digg. They don't give a crap about the social dynamic of the site. All they care about is pushing what they believe down the throat of everyone else. And anyone who disagrees? A 'moonbat'. These people have absolutely no intention of contributing to Digg.

At first their conspiricies were entertaining, but now it's just annoying, they mass digg up every story that appears on that site and don't realize why they're dugg down, it's crazy I tell ya!

I think liberals/conservatives/policy makes should stop whining about how fair the web is and just produce quality content. You know, "if you build it, they will come." I like Digg because of the tech news or interesting stories. Save politics for the blog sites and forums (on both sides). Don't whine about bias in a place if what your discussing is going to divide a community (and thus encourage your opponents to bury you). Sheesh! PS And yes, this GOES for both sides, especially with Google News! So stop whining! This is dumb!

This is typical LGF'er rubbish. Can't criticise their messiah, they may get all Waco. “years of constant and dangerous harassment activities. Years of dishonesty.

Plenty of true conservative sites show up on Digg all the time. LGF has nothing to do with conservatism, and everything to do with out-and-out racism.

It happens all the time. Get over it. Just face forward and focus on producing good content. I think it's going a little far to suggest that the entire Digg community is trying to maliciously censor you. Obviously, you can’t collaborate with those people who are. But if you sink to their level, you are validating their behavior and making the situation worse. You’ll get farther if you be the bigger person and lead by example to promote a positive social environment. If you’re going to participate on Digg then you have to accept that content gets buried.
