Man, I've just read through this whole incident and this is the exact same conclusion I got. Fair enough, he got his account suspended, they investigated and they reinstated his account. But the comments from the devs and admin is just disgusting, acting like this is a non-issue and calling the guy a troll. This is not the kind of attitude to have. I understand the homakov probably could have acted a bit more "professional", but not surprised he acted this way after the way he was belittled. He honestly comes across very shocked he was able to do what he did, and from the comments its obvious this was made a bigger deal by the users than it was by him.

I am not a rails developer, but I am pretty sure this would have woken up a lot of people for a lot of similar issues, there will be a mad flurry of devs rechecking a whole bunch of code. Had he reported this disacreetly what are the chances of this much publicity have been generated?!?
