* When his DNS registrar bans him?
* When his payment processor drops him?
* When his broadband providers bans him?
You can't call this website "hacker" news anymore. Hacker culture is supposed to be about openness and anti-censorship no matter who the individual. In celebrating or justifying the censorship of infowars this community has shown it's true colors.
