"New Jersey's governor Christie has decided that all new motor vehicles must be sold through middlemen. This blocks Tesla from directly selling cars, without traditional car sellers. Although, New Jersey decided so this week, they are in good company: 48 states in the US ban or restrict direct car sales."

I looked at that post and first off, it is getting little attention on /.. Second, you post as AC and yet your "voice" rings a little like the poster on /., makes me wonder. Finally, proof? Perhaps you are a troll, an AC one to boot, trying to stir up trouble.
Given what this site has done, and the reason behind it, I find it incredible that commenters are being "blocked". You post as AC so your voice is heard. show how or where someone got blocked. If it did happen then that person could just start another username, switch posting location and show to the world the crime. No, the BS meter is pegged on this one.

Really? After all the drama of the last week, and the TOTAL LACK of transparency on the part of our benevolent overlords until the kettle boils over (which it seems to do every other day), can you feel safe in saying they don't block? I sure don't. That's why I'm using AC.

Look at the log [sylnt.us] , also mattie_p is providing ample transparency in his post.

Besides all that, we should remember that we are all really just freeloaders; freeloaders who contribute story suggestions and relatively interesting comments, perhaps, but still mostly freeloaders. We've contributed no money, so we have no actual right to demand anything, not even transparency.
Now since this is intended to be a community site and project, etc, it would be good if the powers that be were transparent--and I think they have been. But we should still remember that we have no right to demand anything.
The Web is like a series of fiefdoms. Each lord allows us peasants to play in his yard. If he doesn't like us, he can banish us. If we don't like him, we can take our ball and go elsewhere. The good part is that there are effectively an unlimited number of fiefdoms. The bad part is that getting people to play in yours isn't easy.
And then there's the human nature part: absolute power corrupts, people take free stuff for granted, etc.

Mmm, I think not. I was there, Khyber went nuts.
