Further, I hurt for the people who made this decision; it's so difficult to be put in a position where you feel like you're driven to drastic action.  I wonder what it was that made them decide that our ordinary dispute resolution steps wouldn't work here?  Where is the consensus model in this?  Where did we, as a community fail?  DID we, as a community fail?  And, more importantly, how do we fix it to prevent it from happening again?

I'm a little cooler about it than I was when I dfound out - this was the 
first place I read about it, in fact, and I *still* haven't received 
communication from the blocking admin, nor do I want it.

There's a lot I could say, but, for once, I don't have to.  i'll 
certainly have more to say soon, but I'll just say one thing - I saw 
this situation coming ages ago.  I'm part surprised it took this long, 
and part surprised it happened when it did.

No use getting depressed about it, though - I've got an article to 
finish bringing to featured status and all my mourning is taken up by 
the cancellation of Veronica Mars anyway.
