Thank you for those numbers, though, uh, are you pretty sure of them? I get zero response to my diaries at Open Left and Booman Tribune, which implies to me that they are not read. I also posted this at 'the seminal' on firedoglake, btw, a pretty well trafficked site. I used to post these at mydd as well, but they've messed with their site and made it much less diary-friendly.

I was disappeared from Daily Kos after that one diary. I'll return as fairleft4 or similar and be disappeared again. Repeatedly returning and being disappeared after rough and tumble discussion is good, at least, to remind some of those 600K readers of the anti-democratic truth (especially on the I/P issue) of the site they read and support.

The site visitor numbers are correct for all those sites (they have site meters), except for MyLeftWing. I stopped checking of course after MSOC pulled the site meter, but it was down to about a thousand by that time. The site has pretty much been taken over by right wing Zionists, with Karmafish holding their position.

I've also had poor response at Booman from time to time, but it has generally been good. Diaries at Open Left are poorly attended to. Restrict your self to a single source and use the Quick Hits. They are usually much better attended to. MyDD has self-destructed while trying to revamp the site programming. It's a mess. Also they have a diary listing of only the last five, and they are usually off the front page in a matter of hours.

Booman Tribune and Open Left are not subject to censorship in the IP area. On the other hand, if you want to return to Daily Kos, you might take up a different blogname. Your diaries will otherwise be attacked for who you are rather than its substance. There is also a suspicion that I am still there and have never left. There are many ways to ploy the internet, but I'm not saying. It takes a real personality transformation, which I am good at, given that I am the sockpuppet king at Daily Kos. Fuck Kos. He deserves every bit of it.

Thanks for the numbers, I'll definitely consider them in what I do.

I like not playing the Dkos whack a mole game; not playing makes explicit what hypocritical brown shirts the players are. And, I want the 'brand' fairleft to be recognized and followed, for those who appreciate my take (and I always have an off-site link in my sig). Anyway, like you say, there are many ways to deal with the censorship phenomenon, and I've chosen mine.

When my name is fairleft2 (0 / 0)

doesn't that contradict the meaning of 'sockpuppet'? And then there's my signature, to be even less 'sockpuppetty'.

I'm among the many disappeared for our leftist opinions, allowed to come back here briefly, till this point of view is censored again.

Good luck. You will be pounced on, of course, and probably banned altogether eventually, unless you use a program that hides your true IEP by routing your input through computers in other states or even countries.

Well as a publicist at heard, I've always encouraged writers on the IP conflict to plug into Daily Kos. The audience is overpowering in its potential numbers. Besides, if the Israeli hasbara services hates it, it must be a good place.

But don't ignore the smaller blogs, like Euro Trib, Boomans, and even Open Left. Stay away from Democratic Underground. The place is censored, no IP on the front page, and there is a censored and very biased forum on it, one of about thirty. They have pretty much buried IP in the tombs, and that's the way they like it, I believe. Docudharma is extremely small and like MyLeftWing, not worth the trouble.
