They did, but I don't think most people realised that FPH brigaded because the details didn't make it into the news and weren't mentioned in the admin response. So for anyone who didn't dig deeply into it themselves, it looked like the admins had just banned it at random. Then rather than explaining it, the admins made a bullshit PR non-statement about how they were "banning actions not ideas". Really badly handled.

And... The fact that /r/CoonTown apparently wasn't brigading and therefore was left alone for free speech reasons is... not really badly handled?

Pick.
