Bunk argument. This is an issue that affects bitcoin directly. Wikipedia has far more need to remain neutral and apolitical than bitcoin ever does- you've read Satoshi's politically charged whitepaper or seen the genesis block quote.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Action The Wikipedia community decided on a full and global blackout. Bitcoin should do the same in unison with the rest of the web- sites like Reddit, 4chan and Wikipedia. It's funny / almost comical how you consign this to being just another issue or case of moral alarm.

There are always issues that raise ire and moral outrage. I would rather that bitcoin.org stay apolitical -- our users will appreciate this in the long run. -- Jeff Garzik exMULTI, Inc. jgar...@exmulti.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
