I suspect that it is the tone of the original post. It is one thing to say, "I don't like SF," and it is quite another to say, "I'll throw a party if it dies." The former is nothing more and nothing less than a person's taste. The latter implies that they will get pleasure when someone else is deprived of something that they enjoy.

Well, yes -- but I couldn't care less if they get pleasure from it.
In fact, the surest sign that I couldn't possibly care less what they think, is that they would think to think it.
Thus, actually reacting by getting upset about the alleged anticipated party, is entirely counterproductive to my determination to not-care.
I just think we'd all be happier if people would emulate me more...
The only thing I derived from that original post by the alleged partier, is a determination to gloss over said partier's posts for (at least) this thread. It was nothing but a crank, so why react?
And I am happier for it (although thinking about it indirectly, by offering guidance to Quexos, may have slightly soiled my ability to ignore it...).
