In the profile there is a showdead option -- if you set it to yes, you can see stories and comments that have been marked dead by an admin. By generally, I agree, banning Valleywag is a slippery slope, or, at least, it doesn't help to solve the broader problems of social news this site faces.

How many people keep ShowDead turned on? Do you, rms?

  I do, but I doubt very many other people do.

    I do, but I'm not sure why.

      I do, because there was a dead post linked to that I couldn't see otherwise. Or something along those lines. Since then it hasn't been annoying enough to turn off.
