a bot just bought all the MSC on bter at 10BTC/MSC

Looks like there is a bug in this bot. It is basing everything on the future price of MSC.

A bit like David Irvine and the Mastercoin crims

David Irvine is a symbol of everything that is right in this world. You might as well get on the table and shout that you have a tiny brain hahahahahahahahahahaha
IMO the blokes an idiot, a fake asshole and although probably nievely and unwittingly; is
trying to create yet another part of the internet for a niche group of dumb liberals and pedophiles that represent everything I find sickening in this world.
Each to their own point of view I suppose, but I think you missed the context of the original jokey comment you thought was idiotic.
