@bhoggett,
I too like the Bunny. That's why I bought (and renew) the domain name to help out. I got tired of having to remember the flyingmice.com URL, which doesn't seem related to the site (in a mind-logic sorta sense).
I don't think Christian's actions are politically motivated. I can only guess, because to me it's not even worth asking about. We're all pretty much painfully aware that there is bad blood between Christian and BBRV. Most people can't even begin to guess what's really behind it, and it's not even really our business to know.
Taking into consideration the recent alleged legal threats by BBRV, my guess however is that Christian feels very strongly that showing any type of support for sites that are Genesi sponsored somehow puts him in jeopardy. On the other hand, he may simply not feel like dealing with it any more. There are times when I very well understand the feeling.
One thing needs to be pointed out very clearly here that everyone's more than happy to overlook. Note that Christian and crew have not stopped the news stories regarding Genesi from being posted. Neither has he (they) interfered in any of them, which I think -- all things considered -- is very admirable of him, not that he needs my admiration or even support.
I say, more power to him.
My suggestion to Christian (if you're listening) would be to pull the whole damned block altogether and put up one of the "links directory" programs which lets him post "newest links" rather than "preferred links".
