Not to turn this into a private discussion, but I just wanted to clarify something in response to Carl since I agree with him in some respects. Oh, and I wouldn't have minded much if you unlocked it (I really only care if someone unlocks something without even posting to explain why).

I agree with your outlook on it from a content perspective, but I disliked the overall dismissive of the community consensus and the frequent condescension with things like "gay Colin", "jrrr hilarity" etc. There is a way to disagree with people without being dismissive and disrespectful to those of differing opinions. If this would've been framed in a manner not dismissive to the community or disrespectful to individuals, I probably would've just moved it to the appropriate Stage 3 thread.
