This story is a good summary of the recent brouhaha over Dave Winer’s shutdown of weblogs.com.

From the Wired article:

“People have been really afraid to discuss this,” said a New York blogger who asked that his name be withheld. “There’s a lot of concern that any nasty comments will result in Dave not getting around to making a copy of your blog.
