Readers have been pointing out that Charles has resumed his cowardly practice of redirecting links from hostile blogs (such as this one) to the IDF website.
There's a simple way of getting round this problem, and that's to download the de-refer script for Firefox and configure it for LGF.
Granted, CJ can still block individual IPs (and he does), but for that problem there's another solution: proxies.
Hey, Charles, haven't you heard the fundamental rule of the Interweb yet? Information wants to be free!
P.S.: Nice catch, Sphinx!

Can you tell me a little bit more about proxies? I've got a few visitors who use them & they annoy me. I think based on what you say they must use them because I've banned them for being trolls. In particular, I've banned the Israeli-Armerican Kahanist Steven Plaut fr. my blog & yet he at times has revisited using a proxy.
So if he does this is there no point in banning the proxy? Or will banning the proxy IP prevent him fr. using that proxy in the future?
Richard, I don't think banning an entire proxy will bring anything, because there will be 548934 others the guy can use. In your position, I wouldn't know what to do to keep him out. Comment moderation is a blessing though.
And re "Nice catch, Sphinx!": Thanks a lot :)
