I'm kinda with Adelina. Are we missing something? I just don't quite understand the venom this thread gathered. Yeah, it put a bit of a damper on the happy vibe we've got going here, but we're not usually so sharp-tongued. When I first read this thread, I just assumed it wouldn't get any attention and would drift off the home page in short time.
