geenstijl.nl

Date April 20, 2004

One of the most popular weblogs in holland: geenstijl.nl will stop due to the beating one of the writers of that weblog got at his home yesterday.
With their kind of writing the geenstijl.nl crew had a lot of fans but also a number of enemies. Was he attacked due to his writing for the weblog?

I’ve not seen facts, I have not seen images, I’ve not seen any police report yet {where is the smoking gun?}.

That someone will be attacked for his writing: not okay someone must have the right of speech.
I think they stop for now and will start again cause they will not make way for terror. Ah.. and they get even more popular..

Update: Remco has some useful links with info about geenstijl.nl [dutch]

Update2: yes it was a sick joke, as expected. They wrote: our last joke without style.

    Yes, the attack was related to the weblog according to Retecool.

    It’s a sad day when voicing your opinion in the media can result in someone waiting on your doorstep.

    For your convenience: I’ve got a whole bunch of links to newspaper articles and weblogs mentioning the attack at http://rc6.org/node/view/1300
