No, I do not think panix.com will pull any plugs at all.
they made it clear yesterday by e-mail that their warning was
not for content, but for alleged crossposting and publication of
private phone numbers and addresses.

their position on the "crossposting and off-topic posting" was an
"invasion of privacy" and a "freedom of speech violation," but their
other allegation would have merit, except for the lack of any real
evidence of any "intent" by Dr. Fomin.

But panix.com and world.std.com and calyx.com and many more ISPs
will switch to uncensored news feeds very soon, I predict.
Chris lewis is going out of business very shortly.
