It's a pretty funny solution to slop bots, and it's clearly effective enough to upset the exact type of loser it's designed to reject.

The insane part is launching a DDoS attack because some guy online insulted your favorite toy.

I’d argue both sides are acting insane; there are no good guys in this story, only people who got way too worked up about software choices and started lashing out in inappropriate ways.

There's a person who decided to ban bot traffic from their own site, and there's a person who committed a felony in response. Definitely a 'both sides' situation according to HN comments.
