"An eighth-grade language arts teacher from Maryland has been placed on administrative leave after school officials learned he allegedly authored two books containing questionable content under a pseudonym.
Local network WBOC News reports that the investigation concerns two books published by McLaw under the nom de plume “Dr. K.S. Voltaer,” and one is about a fictional, futuristic school shooting that goes down in history as being the largest ever in the United States.

This is lunacy. School administrators are terrified there will be another Columbine or Sandy Hook and are overreacting, or are they. What could they do to prevent one. Nothing, nil, zero. No need to ask yourself 'why', say thank you to the traitorous NRA , the propaganda arm of the small arms manufacturing industry, for blocking any form of gun control. They have successfully infected the country with The American Disease™ almost unfettered access to weapons of war that kill with brutal efficiency. Sadly there appears to be no cure.

My misunderstanding then.
Interesting that you mention nicks and who they might be - many of the staff have completely different nicks on here than those they use on IRC. I'm often not sure to whom I'm talking!
Your comments are very much on-topic, although we would rather forget that terrible mistake. Still trying to get to the bottom of how it happened but I suspect it is nothing more sinister than human error.

That's what I suspect, too. Rather than forget it, though, I kind of hope it ends up like someone else said and just turns into an in-joke of sorts for the site. SN's own meme instead of borrowing slashdot ones. Probably healthier for everybody in the long-term than trying to forget about it and pretend it didn't happen. Shit happens, not the end of the world, just has to be called out and then forgiven. Maybe teased about it later ;)

So, this is like our Noodle Incident [tvtropes.org]? Perhaps it could be called the Crazy Hobo Post [soylentnews.org]?
