Someone's persistence in poking the bear actually managed to take down a forum. Not merely a post. Not just a thread either. An entire friggin' forum. Now, no one can post in dozens of threads in that forum. He should get an award.
I figure Slinky did it as a BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR lesson to all of us. Maybe the next time someone goes off like that, others can warn him. Sort of a IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING tactic. It takes a village, you know.
