No, you should have ignored the story, because there wasn't one. It's 
quite rich that your story criticizes journalists for doing exactly what 
you did: give Vulis far more attention than he deserves. In case you've 
forgotten what you wrote:

                 What does Vulis's ouster
               mean to the community that
               sprang up around this mailing
               list, of which he had been a
               member for nearly three
               years? Many of his peers think
               he did it for attention or
               notoriety; one longtime
               list-denizen declined to be
               interviewed for fear of
               encouraging him. (If that's his
               goal, he's already succeeded.
               Will Rodger from Inter at ctive
               Week and Lewis Koch from
               Upside Magazine are writing
               about this.) 

As much as I'm tempted, I believe no further comment is necessary.
