A recently published article by Andrew Sass about the legal drama between LayerVault and DesignModo -- http://www.compylr.com/post/open-source-flat-ui-now-sue-me-sue-you-blues -- was censored after about 5 minutes on LayerVault's news aggregator (news.layervault.com). Andrew has since been banned and his account deleted for voicing his opinion.

This would be better suited to a blog post, and more compelling if there were supporting facts for the claims.

Designer News is not relevant to this world. HN it is. Let them do whatever they want with their elite community.
