Re:The Whole Story and Journalizism (Score 1)

/. doesn't write the stories, they just take the information from /.ers and post it for others to see. So, that takes the heat off /. As for the rest, well, there's a little known component of humanism: fight or flight! When faced with a creature higher on the food chain you have to choose. The ISP made thier choice, then took the time to do their research. Right or wrong, they did what was felt best at the time. Since researching the issue further, they realize that putting the site back up isn't a bad thing, so do so. Hey, at least they took the time to check things out and then rescind their earlier conclusion... points from me for that. As for any nastigrams people are sending to the ISP and their clients... well, stupid is as stupid does! Unless you are willing to step up to the front line yourself, never condemn the soldier with the gun. Kudos to /. for giving us a medium to see what is going on out there. Kudos to the ISP for doing their research and putting the site back up. 50 lashes to the FBI for playing "power" and not seeing things for what they really are! --- "Without education there is only ignorance"
