It was indeed at that do that the terms were coined - but I wouldn't say that they were b@st@rdised.
From memory (and there had been a LOT of HP's conusmed prior to - and since - that event) it was a Gold (possibly myself, I think there may have been another one around) who - in the presence of all of the Platinum's, said something about being a mere scum gold (may have even been on a thread on FT before the event) - the comment was picked up, along the lines of "Well, if you golds are scum, what are we platinums?" The answer was, of course, wankas. And the rest is history.
