> Johnson’s response, in thousands of cases, was to block their accounts and ban some of them from viewing the blog. "Get off my Web site" was a common farewell. (Johnson insists that this is not true - that no one has ever been banned from L.G.F. merely for disagreeing with him - but the anecdotal evidence to the contrary is voluminous, and the fact that the offending comments were instantly and permanently deleted makes it impossible to check others’ records against his.)
> Even longtime commenters have been disappeared for one wrong remark, or one too many, and when it comes to wondering where they went or why, a kind of fearful self-censorship obtains. He has banned readers because he has seen them commenting on other sites of which he does not approve.
His banning of anyone who disagrees with him is why LGF is also commonly nicknamed "the little green echo chamber" because only those who echo his sentiments are permitted to stay.

What's more, it's not a 'liberal' blog, it's a blog dedicated to getting Democrats elected. The FAQ specifically says it's not a liberal blog, and most of the people who get banned are liberals.
