Account is back on

No, I wasn't asserting any moral superiority... nor do I particularly have a side in the breastfeeding debate, we supplemented our three. And yes, given that I have a permanent account, Six Apart stood to lose nothing by my departure.

IMO, it was about them pre-censoring content on behalf of external conservative social or religious pressures... and greater participation equalled more counter-pressure, and it didn't cost me much, so why not... Anyway, I don't care what people use as their default icons, it should be their choice (not mine, Jerry Falwell's or their blog service's).

While they can certainly change the TOS at their discretion, doing so through retroactive FAQ changes leaves SA looking like incompetent idiots here. And large companies often place non-enforceable provisions in contracts, trusting in their deeper pockets (relative to customers') to protect them from having those provisions overturned in lawsuits. Customers have little enough power individually as it is, they can certainly band together to protest stupid corporate policy changes.
