I guess I'm stating the obvious here, but showing the world that you "don't tolerate censorship" by taking down a public website is a just a wee bit silly.

By that logic, locking someone in jail for kidnapping is a bit silly as well.

They both involve not allowing someone to leave confinment, but one is punishment and the other is a crime against personal freedoms.

It's not a very good analogy, but yes, if you locked up a kidnapper because you "don't tolerate forced confinement" then I think that would be silly.

At least in your example the real kidnapper was locked up.

Or the death penalty for murderers. This is hypocritical (and unconstitutional).
