Well, that's very nice of you, and I'm glad it was able to keep the blood pressure down, as that was at least part of the post's intent. There are so many things going on here that it's good when there's someone filling the rest of us in so we can be on the lookout, since there's no one central information source.
The ankle biter idea is more or less my frustration spilling out. I kind of think they may be going about this the wrong way, though. I don't know if they're trying to make a point in a hurry, but if they really wanted to inflict damage, they would bide their time, build up their accounts and somehow their reps, and then start hitting folks. I'm not trying to give them any ideas, but putting yourself on the radar before you're really in any position to defend yourself isn't the smartest of moves in my view.
Of course, I don't pretend to know why people do half of the things they do here, so what do I know? :)
