Yes.
If people don't like a thread like this, they don't have to come back to it.
And we certainly don't need any dopey white knights trying to defend a poster by misstating the issue.
It's very simple, if people don't like the subject matter of the thread, fine. Leave the thread. But don't attack the original poster, who is one of the most solid and reliable on the board.
I am going to use this thread/post as an opportunity to make another plea for posters to avoid purposely vague titles.
With a title like "Wow," it's difficult to avoid the thread and unclear until you click it whether there will be anything approaching specific information. And then some people will be offended when they click it and there isn't any actual/specific information. Most people will ignore it and go on avout their day, sure... but if the thread was titled, "It's about to go off (no specifics)," I doubt most reasonable people would be upset (and maybe more people would avoid it).
