Buckeye State Blog bans contributor

Jerid Kurtz of Buckeye State Blog has banned regular contributor Paul Ackerman of Linwood Campaign Services. There’s a big argument going on in the comments to this post at BSB. Paul’s bio was removed from BSB’s About page.

Dave Hickman’s been posting comments about it on this post of mine. Quite gleefully, I might add. It’s hard to know from the outside what’s really going on there, but it doesn’t look pretty. Maybe they should read up on how poisonous the Ohio blogosphere is and… think of the children. Or something.

    Oh of course…

    Tim Russo’s little tirade does the obligatory “Hickmania” dis…
    http://www.buckeyestateblog.com/a_lament_from_blogosphere_exile

    …is it any wonder why people like Tim Russo, Russell Hughlock and Jerid Kurtz keep mentioning my name on the BS Blog (even though I’ve been banned from posting there) ??

    The reason is that I was one of several individuals who took-up the cause to expose the untruthful nature of the inappropriate propaganda/hackery and wild-eyed yellow journalistic melodrama of the BS Blog that has been administered by both Russell Hughlock and Jerid Kurtz (with their trusty co-pilot Mr. Lie and Earn Todd Hoffman, online communication director for the Ohio Democratic Party).

    So, every time you see my name appear in a BS Blog post and/or comment, you’ll now further understand that some things I did against the BS Blog Bashers had direct and/or indirect effects and/or affects on those who contributed to all the BS at the BS Blog.

    C’est la vie… can’t say I’m sorry regarding the BS Blog’s demise. Myself, as Hickmania, am proud to take responsibly for my part of framing certain messages and talking points that had an impact on the BS Blog.

    However, I’m more glad that so many other people have participated in our completely uncoordinated experiment to counter Scott Piepho’s NEO facist-like concept of him and his BS Blog buddies taking on the role of being the “blog police” for the Ohio blogosphere.
    http://phosnorkapages.blogspot.com/2006/06/blog-police-they-are-inside-of-my-head.html

    Sorry Scottie (Pho)… guess that didn’t work out for ya… now did it ??? BWWWWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA !!

    Regardless, I’m looking forward to the day when I can say “good riddance” with regards to ending publication of the idiotic BS Blog and seeing frat boy Jerid Kurtz go away… but I digress…

    Ciao for now.
