Thank you for your honesty and openness; However, we all know that the precedent has been set and the deadly countdown has begun. This little (and seemingly harmless) act of censorship will not pacify the aggressors. Oh no, it will only make them hungrier, and eventually you'll be forced to remove all the "undesirable" content, essentially turning this place into a desolate version of reddit. So, are you going to take any action to prevent future bans (or, rather, to prevent future attempts to make you and us bend the knee)?

We need to get the funds to fucking sue these companies for this bullshit.

I guess we can thank IP2 for being the "disposable target" for the aggressors while the rest of the site can hopefully move on without DDoS and such. Or perhaps you are correct and "they" will be unrelenting. I wouldn't expect them to be able to cry wolf too many times before we find some alternative solutions. There's always a way. There's a good quote about the nature of the Internet that escapes me that would fit well here.

not like they had a choice in the matter

Really? No choice? Act like animals because it's just in your nature? No self control?

If you say so.

Jason your comment could be applied to any sub-saidit that is banned in the future for meanie words. As for the ddosing, it's not the members from IP2 doing it. Yes they might have caused it, and mag held out as long as he could, but this doesn't set a good precedent in my opinion, as this will happen again eventually.

The bad guys won today, and that's sad.

Maybe you could apply it anywhere. I couldn't.

The Pyramid Of Debate exists for a reason. It's not complicated.

M7 let them slide down faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar more than he should have.

" The bad guys won today, and that's sad. "

Agreed.

Perhaps a letter stating that they won't make additional requests like this unless its for the same reasons? We should be wary of giving the left an inch. The will take a mile.
