Someday I, too, will be briskly unpublished

Boing Boing‘s removal of all references to blogger Violet Blue has caused such a stir that even The New York Times weighs in, so the story must really be worthy of debate. The controversy is too convoluted to rehash here. Besides, my research on Boing Boing yielded no mention whatsoever of this Violet Blue, and I couldn’t think of anyplace else to Google her for information. It seems hypocritical for a site supposedly committed to the free-flowing Internet to act in such a fashion, but Boing Boing is a silly name, so such moves are not entirely unexpected.
