Ok, excuse my sarcasm, but if you do some reading yourself you will find that it is almost axiomatic that many threads on blogs and boards like FT with similar suggestive titles as this one, are usually started by people who want to vent based on some perceived wrong. This inevitably results in a rant about this or that which immediately is either refuted by others or is shown to be a direct result of the original poster not having read the T&Cs or not having spent the time to really investigate before commenting.

A corollary to this is that many such threads inevitably become huge and result in a sparing match between opposing factions unwilling to concede common ground, inevitably leading to some derogatory comparison to Hitler by one side or the other. This is known as Godwin's law.

Here is another silly rant (IMO) example:
