At first glance, this seems to be yet another example of "Company <X> is being bad, so let's punish the users of Company <X>'s machines." Very similar to the FSF boycott of Apple, et. al. It goes farther, though. It says: "Your site is downstream from mine, and I have the power to censor what you read based on MY Politically Correct viewpoint." That is scary. -- Drab fiefdom psycho-dynamic <pld@abp.lcs.mit.edu> commedia dell'arte reconquest flywheel
