While I concede that the majority of Digg users are either unintelligent or insane, there are still a good portion of relatively reasonable people like myself who enjoy the service. Personally, I don't believe I'm the type of reader Gruber should be telling to "fuck himself", but that's exactly what he's doing. A far more reasonable approach would be to simply redirect to an unframed version of the page. Otherwise, why not just display this lovely page to any traffic with "digg.com" as the referrer?

Suddenly, without warning, digg has transformed themselves into IE6. The vast unwashed majority that you really don't want to have to deal with, but are forced to.
The parallel with IE6 goes further than you might have expected. The Digg folks have managed to screw up the page rendering in at least one non-IE browser.
Curious - which one?

Then tell Digg to disable their stupid bar. Tell them again and again.
That's obviously the idea. The difference between the Diggbar and IE6 is that Digg can solve the problem whenever they want. They can even selectively solve the problem for certain sites, though such behavior would not be very nice.
