So, paranoia rules but that can disguise the real threats here. May I suggest a theory?
Suppose, just suppose, Dopers, that the brouhaha and bullpucky has just been a front and diversion?! Think about it! We’ve been so hornswoggled and befuddled with obvious wackos that a stealth board-snatch is attempted in plain sight!
So…who’s flooding the board, just when voting is taking place? So…do we really know that Coldfire is really Dutch, friendly and harmless?
HA! If Coldfire isn’t an alien (in the C#3 sense) isn’t the coincidence just a little bit suspicious? Consider the coincidences…
Martha Stewart. Global warming. Tulip blight. Windmills as alternative energy. Clog prints found on the “grassy knoll.” Celine Dion. Watery beer. Junk science…
And that’s not even to mention what’s happened to all the damned Elm trees, or the deep trauma bein’ visited on the youth of this fine nation by that insidious jump ropin’ game . . .

That Coldfire, who’d a thunk it? He fooled us all, son. G’wan home, now. Take care of the family. None of us knew he was the evil mastermind behind smilies, deforestation, PMS, nuclear proliferation, the Illuminati, jock itch, Yeti extinction and linguistic drift.
Be sure to get the wife, kids and dog down in the cellar. Looks like there just ain’t no hope.
Smilies??!? Oh, Coldfire, you poor demented soul. Don’t you know what you’ve done? You’ve gone and gotten ChiefScott pissed off! Once he realizes the horrible truth, your tuckus is charcoal!
