No, I don't think so. This is coming from the same guy who claimed that the Apollo dev tried to extort him for $10 million and threatened him, when the Apollo Dev had the phone call recorded and proved that he only offered to sell the company.
He's feeling threatened and trying to make the users participating in the blackout look bad.

After the 30th, we might see it. They haven't exactly handled this situation well, so I don't have high hopes for the transition when they do finally enact their pricing changes.

Pets.com went bankrupt within 12 months of its IPO. It was ahead of its time.
