Wow. Just when I thought the Boing Boing 'unpublishing' some of its content because of burned bridges was ugly enough, the comment thread is rife with discourse I thought far, far below the average BB reader. Or moderator. (This Valleywag article was linked from a quickly-unpublished comment in said thread. Amusing, if not gospel.)

Okay, it was worth it for this: "Could we maybe actually discuss this, like adults or something? I know this is the internet, and that's a foreign concept here, but could we do it just this one time?"

One last edit: an interesting take on the little incident and the issues it raises. Another blogger writes she’s angry “because I know that — because Boing Boing taught me — that we’re supposed to call out sites that do shit like that. So that’s what I’m doing.”
