I'm sorry, I don't see where the abuse has occurred.  So far, I've
seen one message pointing out a server that has since been taken down,
and another talking about how bad this is.  I haven't seen the website
in question, but my impression is that it was a private joke that got
made public by someone else, and was then shut down.  Before people
start flying off the handle, I'd like some more information.

So far, it seems like the electronic equivalent of someone overhearing
a conversation in which they were being disparaged by one friend to
another.
