Beau Albrecht: January 2, 2025
I was referring to the style guide of this website…
—
I hadn’t seen C-C’s guidelines so searched for them and found this from 2010:
Commenting Guidelines:
5. Proofread your comments. I do not like to publish comments with missing capital letters, misspelled words, bad grammar, diction errors, etc. I will correct these if I think a comment is substantive enough, but I just don’t have time to fix everything that comes my way.
9. Don’t attack the white [sic] race as a whole or white [sic] racial subgroups and nations. There is a whole internet out there doing that. We intend to be a refuge.
I’m not the only C-C commenter who has pointed out violations of every guideline in #5 by know-it-all JayeRyanOD. C-C makes it easy to proofread a comment and edit to correct missing capital letters, misspelled words, bad grammar, etc., after sending. That boy is simply lazy, stupid or both, or just refuses to go along with reasonable guidelines.
It has been 15 years since Greg established C-C’s guidelines, but perhaps the time has come for capitalizing the word White when referring to our race. Like wise Wifewaffen wrote a couple of days ago, “it gives us dignity” and “It’s our language anyway; if we need to adjust a rule to respond to a new need, then we should.”

As for calling me a subservient journalist, that was a little much… That said, I certainly can’t fault you for your enthusiasm, but diplomacy is helpful too.

You’ve got me there, Beau. Diplomacy is not my strong suit. I apologize since I wrongly assumed the
style guide you followed was AP’s anti-White one. Hopefully, at least some at C-C have considered dignifying our race by capitalizing White when referring to our people. It is our language, after all
While searching for C-C guidelines I also found this from 2016: Dealing with Doxers
Any movement person who doxes another movement person must suffer the social equivalent of a death sentence: they must be completely shunned. They must be expelled from all movement organizations, barred from all movement gatherings, and blocked on all social media.
Their friends must be forced to choose sides. It is no deterrent if doxers are shunned by strangers. They must be disavowed and shunned by their friends. And if their friends stick with them, they must be shunned in the same way.
It’s one thing to say that, another to enforce it.
Wouldn’t it be nice if one could actually dictate such a wise policy across the greater “movement”? We cannot. Defamation standards in the U.S. are rigorous and difficult to meet, especially against so-called publishers, that Harold Covington claimed he was. Libels online are considered gossip, not enforceable at all in court — neither, certainly, is internet doxing.
Example: I would often stay at my mother’s house, the home I grew up in, when I was in Raleigh. “Big Lie” Covington, who resided in Raleigh at the time (1995), using his given name instead of one of his many sock puppet names, posted my mother’s street address to several WN and Skinhead Usenet groups, telling them that I needed to be “terminated with extreme prejudice” — a clever way to say murdered,
I could do nothing about that because Usenet, that was an early social medium, was just so much Internet bullshit. But when he wrote explicitly in his pissy “Resistance” newsletter that I was a “deep cover FBI Special Agent and mass murderer Tim McVeigh’s handler,” and snail mailed that to third parties with intent to cause me harm, knowing that was a deliberate libel,
that was actionable. I showed that to my old Raleigh friend who happened to be Chief Superior Court Judge for Wake County at the time. I showed him Covington’s newsletter as well as his Usenet nonsense, telling him that if I could not get legal relief from the asshole that I was giving notice that I would kill him myself — what I called a justifiable homicide. He believed me and said, “Do not kill him, Will. I’ll take care of this.” I had already consulted with a few attorney friends who would not help me with such a case even though it was cut and dry, rock solid.
A couple of days later an attorney called and represented me pro bono in the successful defamation case
Williams v. Covington. I had Dr. Pierce’s blessing if I could retain an attorney, serve the SOB, then prevail. I assured I could meet all three conditions. He paid for the man who served HAC for me.
It was the Usenet crap, doxing my mother, more so than the outrageous libels in Covington’s newsletter that convinced the judge to help me. My exceptional attorney was a legal bulldog and had to suffer being called the “Nazi lawyer” around the Wake County courthouse for representing me. He did not care. Covington needed to be reeled in by the court.
What disappointed me was that once I proved conclusively that Covington was an enemy of our cause, he wasn’t “completely shunned’ much less did he “suffer the social equivalent of a death sentence.” His fans were not “forced to choose sides (between what’s right and what’s wrong),” and his friends, the handful that he may have had, certainly did not “disavow him,” except for maybe Pastor Martin Lindstadt to his credit. Fans of his fiction cared not a whit for the proven sabotage he had wrought against our noble cause for decades.
Lesson learned for C-C fans of his fiction: character counts.
