This would be partly true as the server is open to exploit.

"someone"?
No prizes for the lottery winner on this one. The fact the cross-poasted 
threads are not a subject of attack has escaped your notice?

Those "quotefix" posts are a feature of Hipcrime. The java enabled version 
(NewsMaestro) has been in Derbyshire's possession for quite some time. Given 
all the aid cljp has provided in assisting with sorting out the bits of code 
which did prevent the script from running it is no surprise to see the group 
targeted, as the group population declared Derbyshire persona non grata.
More of a double whammy "thanks" posting series?

Derbyshire is frolicking among the kooks in alt.usenet.kooks taking solid hits 
from the regulars with assorted kook awards coming his way.

All three of the above are apparitions of Derbyshire's invention. All three 
have been focused on a failed "coup" of a/u/k. How familiar to cljp lifers does 
that appear? Most are now being forged in lampooning. The pegboi is not happy.
The action cljp is seeing is a standard reactive for script enabled kooks 
hellbent on having their last word.

Join the dots to either wait it out till the open server dies or filter on a 
set field, is all that could be done. Those with balls could also contact the 
Sympatico Bell abuse desk asking if those posts are being pumped into a Tor 
network or socks4 host via their Bank St. (Ottawa) server.

Given past examples it is not likely the shitstorm would ease soon.
