The last two pages of this thread are now dominated by the discovery of Lauda's plagiarism, and now there are two more threads in Meta quickly filling with drama. The anti-Lauda crowd are pulling their socks out of the closet to add to the drama and trolling the Meta board.
@Theymos and Admin; please do something soon. The longer you drag this out the more drama, trolling, and repetitive and redundant mudslinging we'll find in these threads. In accordance with previous situations like this, where a valued contributing member has been found to have broken the rules, I think a fair approach is a temporary ban, along with a signature ban. If you fail to act it will only spur theories of special treatment and inconsistent enforcement of the rules.
