To the people who say Scoop is acting immaturely: Do we want Scoop to have a nervous breakdown after being flamed so many times? He reacted much better than I would have. If he is constantly flamed and he does nothing, there will be no motivation for him to try anything new and the site will stagnate (design-wise, not content-wise). If he kept the site up, we would have lashed out at everyone another way, and that would have been in the form of less updates.
To Scoop: Go all the way. Keep the site down until a week after the release of the 2.2 kernel. (But not indefinitely please) Maybe a few people will learn a lesson.
