Craig, your post touches indirectly on a very important subject heretofore not discussed on this thread: SI's culpability and, more importantly, potential reaction to this mess. If there is a lawsuit, SI will surely be a named party much the same way AOL was named in the suit by a Clinton aide who was labeled a wife-beater by a columnist there.

When I joined SI late last year I don't recall seeing any disclaimer nor hearing of anyone begin tossed. In the spring they added the "Terms of Use", which is prominently displayed everywhere you look. Peruse enough threads nowadays and the odds are you know at least someone, like Y2Kster, who has been recently tossed. You can just hear the lawyers whispering in SI's ear again with this P vs W controversy.

If you're SI, you have two options: 1) vigorously defend Pluvia and all SI posters' rights to free speech, or 2) protect your ass from future problems by kicking people off left and right that make you "nervous". Let's see, which choice is the easiest and cheapest of the two?
