I've gotten a number of emails asking if complaining to Salon could help reverse the decision. Just so I don't have to keep responding to these emails, I'll say here that I got the impression that it would not — the decision seemed very firm, and made with an awareness of the popularity of the strip.
But if you want to write to Salon to express your disapproval, I guess I shouldn't discourage it. If you do, remember: even when provoked to anger, Tom the Dancing Bug readers are always courteous and respectful.
