Its just sheer madness and stupidity that it went so far as it did and someone has ended up losing their livelyhood because of an innocuous comment and other 'made up at the last minute' reasons have been used to try and lend weight to such an outrageous decision.
I suspect that you'll find that Neil and Ben are nothing to do with this one but that is for them to say, however given what has happened and the speed, I'd say that there we're other forces at work. mind you it is an NTL server so the IP wouldn't have been too difficult.

As for something beyond what is warentted, I suggest you look up the term 'Object lesson' and see where that will take us.
