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.
