LW is of course not obligated to let the word be free in his comment field, but I think it’s a shame that he strikes down hard on everyone who thinks differently. The comment field becomes completely meaningless and consists mostly of a lot of backslapping and “first!”

We can establish that LW is not so interested in being nice online. He doesn’t want to be our friend. And he doesn’t care if things go wrong sometimes. I think that’s okay. But it is undeniably a choice.

This will be the 107th comment.

Now, don’t take this as an excuse to only write posts where you praise yourself! 😂

Ah, thanks for the info!

Didn’t know about that, I wasn’t completely sure either, that’s why I wrote, “as far as I know.” Maybe he was just bothered by the family policy.
LW often rants about conservatives who he thinks are just dreaming of the past when things were better. Even though things weren’t actually better back then. 

You can see LW as principled with integrity when he removes things he doesn’t stand for on his own blog, but it can also be interpreted as him being against free speech and blocking different opinions. 

LW actually has children from his previous marriage. However, he rarely writes about it nowadays, I think the children are quite grown up.
(This is a Someone-was-wrong-on-the-internet comment.)

Ok, thank you for your response. It was a rather small minority that behaved that way, but I still understand that it feels disappointing when you invest so much time as you did.

I think one problem for LW is that he probably doesn’t have time to keep up. I guess there are probably many days when he doesn’t even read the comments and misses a lot. Probably requires emailing him to bring immediate attention to any transgressions.

Tankfri didn’t get to be around for very long, and right after the death threat, he left immediately.

BenDover, on the other hand, got to wreak havoc for a long time, he was often sharp-witted and even a bit funny but couldn’t help being really unpleasant. I agree that he should have been removed much earlier.

It’s a bit strange when some get banned right away and others stay for a long time.

I think he has an almost rigid attitude towards the issue of power tactics. People get blocked without even understanding why. For example:

“Johan, I think your analyses are often of high quality, but when it comes to xx, I think you are wrong”

It MAY be a power tactic, but for most people, it’s just that they want to soften the criticism by also expressing appreciation for almost everything else, except for what they intended to criticize.

Äh, Johan är bara långsint!

He wrote a long domestic political post which, among other things, was about the need to invest in families with children and ensure an increase in childbirth. Families with children were hailed as heroes and our only way to save Sweden in the future. He also described childless cat owners as burdens on society.

Depending on how one chose to interpret what he wrote, it could have been seen as pure SD rhetoric, someone got angry and accused him of racism.

Otherwise, this was probably what he was trying to convey:

The post also touched to some extent on conscription, etc., so it was somewhat about Sweden’s defense capability as well, but otherwise not directly relevant in the Ukraine threads.

Moreover, considering that LW is both childless (as far as I know) and a cat owner, it might not have been surprising that he chose to delete Johan’s post. I don’t think he sees himself as a burden on Sweden.

Anyway, after that, Johan pretty much left Cornu and is still sulking! 😂

Otherwise worthless blog but maybe it wasn’t on-topic 😀
