The NYT reports that New York Magazine website went off-line hours after posting a story featuring 35 women who have accused the comedian Bill Cosby of sexual abuse and the article was inaccessible on Monday morning. "Our site is experiencing technical difficulties. We are aware of the issue, and working on a fix," the magazine posted to its main Twitter account early Monday morning.
A user called Vikingdom2016 claimed responsibility for a DOS attack on the site and said the attack was based on a hatred for New York, and was not related to the cover that features Mr. Cosby's accusers. As the website remained off-line, editors were working to find other ways to publish the piece, which the magazine said took six months of work.
On Monday morning, the magazine began posting audio related to the cover article on Instagram. The story is available at Web.Archive.Org's Wayback Machine.

A DOS attack? Jeez, no wonder they're having problems; you can't go that long without updating your OS and expect any security.
(DOS and DoS are not the same thing, damn it.)

Just how far do you have to be on the spectrum to make a capitalization flame?

Just how far do you have to be on the spectrum to misinterpret a joke post about TLAs as a "capitalization flame"?

It's not really a good joke if you need to explain it just after telling it.

The only thing funny about that post is that you thought it would be funny.
My guess is that you are just trying to save face by calling it a joke post now that its been pointed out to you how stupid it was.

You are the only person I have ever seen, in twenty years, complaining about this let alone spelling that acronym with a lowercase "O".
So if you ever feel alone on this issue, that is because you probably are.

How is a factual statement, about technical acronyms no less, a troll?

Your second paragraph was definitely not a factual statement.
Whether your first paragraph was factual, we have no way to decide.
