This has to be trolling, right?

I find it hard to believe that anyone, no matter how dense, could come to this conclusion after this whole saga.

Maybe? It just takes one after all.

I've met some people IRL who are so engulfed in their own greatness that it simply cannot be that they made a mistake (in planning and strategy). Therefore this is all a great injustice towards a poor victim and doesn't that sound like a great argument for some charity money.

Most of them grow out of it, some become politicians.

I'd say it's a 50/50 chance.

Sadly there are lots of unintelligent people out there who are incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions.

yup, same thoughts here. I think someone is trolling the irc members. It's so over the top, like an episode of 'the office'. I'd be amazed if this were an honest message.

And for $200/mo they can now sing the song that ends the world.
