phoboslab.org— An in depth article of how digg wouldn't respond to my bug reports, how I exploited a cross-site scripting vulnerability to force everyone to digg my story and a list of all open bugs I found.

Sorry for the stress I caused you and your colleagues with this! Please put this story back in list views, as soon as you've sorted these things out :)
Not at all, IMO. Digg doesn't listen to bug reports, I've experienced it myself. You followed responsible disclosure procedures - report the bug, give them a timely period to reply. If they don't listen, writing a proof of concept is about the only thing you can do. This story wouldn't make it anywhere near the front page on its own, only stories submitted by popular diggers like mrbabyman do that. What else could you do?

I enjoyed your ingenuity here. Was that comment really from Tim Berners-Lee?
