Ah, you forget details. Before they went to the trouble of looking up the nic contact info for Amazing Forums, they wasted time sending me certified mail w/ email backup demanding that I take down that post. I don't know how long it took them to get around to finding out who actually hosts that forum, or if they even went to the trouble. More likely, the hosting provider would throw that one post to the wolves rather than give up the identity of their paying customer.
So, what sort of gossip was making the rounds during that time? Shh? Ya' here? What kind of hate mongering was going on back in August about the evil, diabolical Amazing Forums who was being cagey and coy and intellectualizing about deleting that post that yenz dislike so much?
Think one of the over-zealous parents, kids or graduate staff or a graduate trying desperately to prove to their parents that they've had enough treatment might have taken it upon themselves, Timothy McVeigh or Eric Rudolph style, to boost the effort?
That would be my best guess.
