The motivation is unclear

Holy cow. Some dude thinks that the result of the drama is soylant selling out. He's pissed because he's spent money and time working with them, thinks he should have a say in the drama. So ... his answer is to cause bandwidth costs to go up by flooding it with traffic.

Some people...

The current drama there is too much for me. Pipedot looks like a better run site so far.

Yeah, way too much pointless drama over there. Changing the subject completely, I was meaning to ask if anyone here had any opinions on whether I should go with vi or emacs as my text editor?

Umm... vi.

Please, this is not a matter of opinion. This is a matter of truth vs. untruth. This is a matter of good vs. evil. It is time for people to man up (and woman up as the case may be, although surely women are too smart to use emacs) and do the right thing. Too long have people suffered under the ineffectiveness of inferior text editors with arthritis inducing key sequences and ONLY ONE MODE!!!

It must stop.
