Uh... Wow...

For the record, io9 has won my heart back entirely.

Exactly what was bothering me they were sensitive to.  Absolutely wonderful response.

I was really happy that they said *why* they were pulling it and gave a reasoned arguement and it wasn't just marketing speak, 'We're sorry you were offended'

I was also happy to see the idea of highlighting awesome fanfic, and the amount of support the idea had received in comments (at least as of the time I looked at them, won't go back because I hate their new comment structure)

I need to check out io9 more often. This is a good essay and a good decision.
