The Diggbar is only visible to Digg users and links shared by Diggers.So if Digg users are revolting against it, that makes sense. But obvious Digg haters like John Gruber revolting against the Diggbar looks like a cheap publicity stunt to me.Calling Digg users "mindless, borderline illiterates" and greeting them with "F* off" message to Digg, is just hating Digg. Doest look like this has anything to do with preaching standards.

As a Digg user, i dont like Diggbar on pages linked from Digg pages. But i would appreciate this,if the url shortening service along with Diggbar was an independent feature.
