Are you in the habit of running load tests on other people's websites without warning? Remind me to never tell you when I'm working on something.

In this specific case it's not exactly the same as running a generic load test against some website, given the advertised feature of this specific website.

You're intentionally making it too generic to portray the guy as an asshole, when that's not how things went down. Very politician-like. Yuck.

I'm not condoning this, but if your website can be taken down by one machine with ab, you're doing it wrong.
