The Atlantic can spam Hubski all it wants, if they spam it like they "spammed" Reddit, having an engaging commenter always online to talk to other users about his submissions. Still not sure what they were so pissed about.

I'm with you. I wouldn't care if someone only posted fox news links as long as they were engaged in dialog. If I didn't like the content, I'd just use the ignore function and I'd never see it.
I'd much prefer it be the Atlantic though, I love their work and I'm always glad to see it here.

Perhaps they are afraid that their frontpage gets dominated by a few sources akin to what happened with Digg v4.

Not exactly sure either, as far as I can see the reddit admins are being a bit vague as to the exact reasons for the bans. Plus, there are a ton of sites I would have banned before sites like 'The Atlantic'.
