We have always been strong supporters of free speech and at the same time we believe deeply that children deserve special protections as well as the victims of violence and hate. We tried to implement a policy that walk that line and we did it poorly, we are all sorry. One could say that no matter what we did we would either be accused of opposing free speech or endangering children but I am sure we should and could have done this much better. I hope you can forgive us and we can regain your trust.


Barak Berkowitz, Chairman and CEO Six Apart

Well, some of the explanations are a tad wanting (the "I like x" bit begs to be thrown out on its ass), but he's a good deal smarter than I would have guessed. I mean, hey, a corporate CEO who actually knew when it was time to issue an apology? That's worth something in my book.

And the more reasonable SixApart is about all this -- even despite their initial freakout -- the more ire and suspicion will be rightly redirected back at the "Warriors For Incest" kooks and their pseudo-moralist ilk.

Works for me.
