Happened over the Thanksgiving Weekend of 2013. I remember because I was going to be out of town and without Internet. I came back to smoking ruins here with people cursing each other and vowing never to come here again. The Mods took a ton of verbal abuse. All of that vitriol got removed, as did a number of regular members, including rothn, fifteen thousand posts, who was probably the most clearly respected member here at that time. He forgot that he didn't own the site, that he was a guest here, like everybody else.
The cause was a political topic that turned into a shit slinging chimp fight. That occasion is why political topics aren't allowed here.
