Of course, it's a free country, and a free message board, so ... act as you wish.
I will help out those who sincerely ask for it. However, what the OP did was not sincere; it was not honest. He was talking about trying to stir things up, to put bluntly, to rub something in the face of both a people and an organization he does not like. Something he thought he could get away with. As he has just recently stated in another thread, he likes the opportunity to "gloat" (his word). And he thought this would be an opportunity.
Or to put it this way, if I see someone grab a hammer, and say they are going to smash their toes, I will not try to argue with them, other than to say "you might not like doing that". I will not go into detail as to why. If someone wishes to do something so stupid, that is up to them. As you say, its a free country, so heck, I'll let him do as he wishes.
But you also know from my record here that when someone has an honest question, I try my best to answer (if I am on the site at that time). People may not like my answer, but I do try to answer honest questions.
