we dont know who the victim here is.

strange seeing all these old inactive accounts suddenly posting in this thread.

its like somebody actually took the time to create multiple accounts, to astroturf a given thread in the future. pretty pathetic use of time if you ask me.

I comment more on these types of threads (random banning by big corp who never provides reasons) than the random software project ones because these are more substantial
