Hello, I'm one those who clicked on it (and to make matters wors : after it was discover and discussed). Why I click on it : it's a big thread and wanted to begin the reading with the first post ^^. The fact that I run it on a noscript activated up to date firefox doesn't change the fact that I run it without too much attention and I'm the one to blame it. So for the possible "aggressive reacions" : yes, but only about myself. To be frank, the first things I was thinking after seeing what was the link was "well : owned like a newbie".
