"Until Gizmodo publicly apologizes to Gray Powell, this is going to be in my /etc/hosts and in all of the DNS servers under my control:
127.0.0.1 gizmodo.com
127.0.0.1 www.gizmodo.com
127.0.0.1 m.gizmodo.com
127.0.0.1 gawker.com

So now anything on his network will fail to load those URL's; rather I was thinking there was something larger at play that was going to be disruptive beyond his local. Don't ask why I was assuming this.
