View submission: The history of the /r/xkcd kerfuffle.
XKCD has its own forum. This is an independent forum, Randall or any other IP owner has no right to it, and the idea they should be able to take over the sub if they don't like it is stripping it from the community just the same as this squatter mod is hijacking it. Reddit is not here to act as someone's free official forum, they can host that themselves and have all the control they want, IP rights have nothing at all to do with control of an independent discussion site, and I would be very surprised if Randall himself did not have a very similar opinion. He can sign the petition, and spread the word about the issue, and whatever else he can do to get it back *in the community's hands* if he wants, but he can't have any direct say over it.
There's nothing here!
