Another 'Mafia Hit'

I published a story about the attempt to shut down Gay Patriot. It turns out Michael Rogers wasn&'t done with his vendetta. When Robert posted the same article, complete with a 'Gay Terrorist' headline, Michael Rogers contacted his CSP and got his site shut down. Note please, that Mr. Rogers did not try to work things out with either blogger, or discuss the issues. Nope, he tried to cause trouble with one guy's job, and harassed another guy's Service Provider into dumping him. First Amendment? Never heard of it, I guess.

Here is Lime Shurbet's write-up. Note that Robert has saddled up with another provider. That alone deserves respect.

More details about Mr. Rogers gotta whack free speech' campaign can be found at My Pet Jawa.

I want to mention that I differ on the use of the word Gay Patriot and 'terroristdescribe Michael Rogers , because I do not use the word 'terrorist'; for anyone except a particular class of villain. That does not mean, however, that Mr. Rogers has any basis or merit in his vindictive attacks on honest bloggers, especially as he is apparently unable to argue his defense through facts or reason. Given the tactics he has used to harass his political opposites, Rogers is actually validating their charges against him, I would say. He's not a terrorist, but he is a thug. -- DJ Drummond
