Fortunately, we think we've come to an amicable settlement with Matthew. Smells Like Yukon has agreed that it will no longer make reference to Matthew on this site and, in turn, Matthew says he will call off his Taiwanese supporters. We are, however, still permitted to use the term "Bleeding Wolves" as much as we want. Thanks for the tips, Dave. Fortunately, we think we’ve come to an amicable settlement with Matthew.

The list for Taiwan is a depressing 225 lines long though. It might be easier to block the .tw top-level domain, but that'd be hard to do through a firewall or Apache config and, in any case, most visits will come from .com/.net/.org names anyway. Then again, there are an awful lot of Chinese people over yonder. Better they blow off steam on a faraway poll than devise new missiles to lob across the Straight.
