Actually I think they handled it quite well. All the posts are all still there, unedited, three clicks from the corporate home page, readily linked from here or slashdot, and /community-member?user_id=58307 tells the world exactly what they did and why. If you can get the same treatment from PeopleSoft, Oracle, Microsoft, or ANYBODY, I'd like to know where.
In the dim dark past, I got myself banned a couple times (including once from an anti-censorship mailing list, without notice to the list members, which was interesting), and I was never treated as well as you.
I count myself Gravely Concerned about aD's future, but I haven't given up like Don has. As long as Eve, Tracy, and Ron consider it a good enough place to work, so do I. I'm not surprised they haven't joined in the flamefest. I've been on that side of the breakdown as well.
