View submission: [Recap] The great xkcd mod-sidebar blowup
People who read xkcd already know that the sidebar links have nothing to do with it and the author would be against them. And people know that the subreddit is made by fans.
/r/xkcd has dealt with the sidebar for at least a year, so it's just weird that now it would become a big drama.

what about people who don't know about the comic and decide to read some then check out the sub? And you didn't address my analogy, would you allow retarded links to messed up stuff on your company's facebook page? Also the sub shouldn't have to "deal" with the sidebar because a guy hijacked it, the community hated it, they hate the mod, but the mods were total assholes about it and the creator of the comic itself admonished them. it's not some friendly slip up or misunderstanding. it's a guy being an asshole and pushing his beliefs while CENSORING any criticism of it.
