Compare that with Digg, which is *not* a deliberatiive community. You saw what happened there.
For those that didn't:
1) Diggers added lots of stories about the key. 2) Digg started removing them. 3) Diggers added them more frantically. 4) Digg reacted harder, deleting faster, blocking accounts and eventually blocking all new submissions. 5) Other sites like reddit got spammed by comments about the digg controversy 6) Digg management caved in/did a backflip and decided to allow all stories about it, and to hell with the consequences.
