Your reply just made it more confusing though. This logic is kind of backwards, don't you think? The joker at school didn't get off easy because the teacher "should know what to expect" when he throws a piece of chalk into another kid's eye. He gets sent to the office immediately and possibly worse.
So what's worse really? The person trying really hard to stir the pot, or the person eternally falling for the bait? Both ends are pretty bad really.
Instead of the classroom bully analogy used so often, perhaps looking at Drinky Crow as the current commander in chief will yield greater understanding of the current situation.
The lightning precision with which the forum was hit left us all wondering how secure an industrialized forum with this much consequence actually was. The terrorism itself was striking
not in its relevance, which was relatively paltry, but in its symbolic and exhibitionist nature. Without blinders on for the first time, GAF saw its own
degenerative and vitriolic bi-products slip right through its cozy security net. The administration took quick and decisive action in neutralizing the problem.
....And while they were at it, they may as well not squander the opportunity for POWER. Briefly alluding to an impossibly general threat (Nintendo fan....Australian) Drinky Crow aquires more power in the name of GAF SECURITY. This all makes sense of course, because Drinky Crow is particularly good at rooting out those viscious Nintendo Cells that lurk in the darker crevices of the forum. We all know that. The power grab works two fold in that it also gives the GAF public the feeling that those in power are actively rooting out potential threats....DESPITE THE FACT that
previous intelligence reports warning the administration of the terror to come were given MONTHS IN ADVANCE.
To all those with actively functioning brains, the logic on display here is about as valid as killing a clown because your sister choked to death at the circus. Drinky will continue to do what he wants to the benefit of those in power (in this case the benefit being gobs full of entertainment) under the pretense of forum security.
Perhaps the largest difference between George Bush and Drinky is the philosophical justifications behind their actions. While Bush follows the Christian doctrine of "working for a higher power", Drinky adopts a more existential mantra. More specifically; this smattering of ethernet is no more then an illusion. Conquer the illusion, and you'll see no more reason to hate me.
I hear most Nintendo fans are conservative, so perhaps this paints a more endearing picture for you when I say
"Who attacked our forum? The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated Nintendo fans known as the Nintendogs"
