Censored!
Well, I'm posting this new post, even though I won't be able to see it due to this. Pete's friend Dave had this problem a couple of days ago, but I've only been blocked starting today. Gives you a new appreciation for the guarantees of free speech, I guess. Keep posted, I may have to move my site.

From what I've gathered:
ReplyDeleteIndian government makes a knee jerk reaction, orders ISPs to block a small number of specific blogs (individual blogs, not entire sites.)
ISPs, through miscommunication or incompetence, block entire sites. Blockage varies by ISP.
People complain loudly.
Indian government backsteps and lifts ban. (Politicians fearing backlash at the polls - democracy as intended.)
