That's the crux of the matter! I read this article on WSJ and voted YES. Anthony is interesting reading, a little over agressive, but considering his line of business he prolly has to be so.
Having said that, I have mixed feelings about rescinding a decision that was ostensibly made on the basis of a clear set of rules. Perhaps, the SI community should vote on the "Terms of Use" of SI on a point by point basis in order to come up with a "popular" version of same. Otherwise, a special vote reeks of partiality towards a "celebrity". The WSJ article mentions that 5-10 users get booted off SI every month--presumably on the charge of "violation of Terms of Use"--perhaps they should all be individually voted on?
Or maybe the whole thing is a publicity stunt from Anthony, or even SI?
In any case, I hope I don't get whaled on/booted off SI for typing my minds...
