Man, everyone's freaking out about this, but an attack like this was bound to happen sooner or later. BCX may be an asshole, sure, but it's better for this to happen in the open rather than having it just suddenly be sprung out of nowhere to kill the chain.
Hell, even the fact that this attack is being publicly pre-announced should be enough to tip most of you off that this may not be nearly as big a threat as people are making it out to be.
And out of curiosity, what laws will BCX have broken by doing something like this?
