Well, I equate these fools activity (fusebox.com) to register a 100 on a
stupidity scale of 1 - 10.
I mean think about this for a second ..... What company in their right mind
would basically tell a Not For Profit community of hormonely charged,
over-zealous, and unbeleivably talented web programmers to - in essence -
flush all the work they've poured into a community for 2-3 years, because
its "interfering with their marketing campaign" !!!! Thats just plain
assinine, and then to bitch, because they are gettng port scanned ....????
Who in the hell did they think they were telling to go get screwed ... the
girl scouts? SHUT THE ... already.
Could you even imagine - if say Slash the musican tried to tell the good
folk over on slash-dot - "Hey man... I have a new album coming out... and
you guys like need to relinquish your domain to me - or change it look like
mine, cuz well.. like 10 people might get confused as to where they are".
As if his site wouldnt get slammed with a DoS within seconds .....
These gomers over on fusebox.com drop a big ol steamy one right smack dab in
the middle of this here good thang - and expect everyone to just fold up
shop and waltz on back to whence they came - un phased? Nice try ......
