Help unblock Eve

Sandmonkey writes:
The Saudi female blogger Eve just had her blog blocked in Saudi thanks to the valiant efforts of the Saudi male Blogistanis who really hate to see women expressing themselves over the inetrnet, or like, anywhere. The other saudi female bloggers (Aya and Farah to cite an example) are fuming over it, not to mention afraid that their blogs are next. There is, however, something we can do to help: Go fill this unblock request form . Enough people fill it, and she gets her blog back,thus sending a collective FUCK YOU to any Saudi male asshole who thinks he has the right to tell Saudi women what she can say on her own damn blog.
Form filled.

ya issandr et.al.,

i think that the i.s.u. form should only be used by saudi citizens. spamming it with unblocking requests by non-saudis will only be counterproductive, as it may very well cause the i.s.u. guys to think that saudieve's blog is, indeed, a subversive blog.

The worst punishment the "blockers" can receive is losing out on her wisdom.

Let them hang themselves.

When I tried the form, firefox came back with an error - I think the one for DNS not being able to resolve the address.
