Okay, so here's the story. Some n00b named "Dude Bob" joined Pilots for Truth looking for a debate. From what I can gather, he posted something on "The PentaCON" thread there. I have no idea what since JDX deleted his post, and gave an extremely vague reason for doing so. Anyway, he wasn't too happy about having his post deleted so he made this thread:
*WARNING: Harry Potter spoilers are in this link*

Somewhere in his posts, he creates a link labeled "death threats". The link has the domain "governmentloyalistsite.org". Clicking on it takes you to a blank page.
I thought at first it was just an error, maybe he screwed up and made a bad link. But after just a few more seconds of browsing P4T I come across this thread:
http://z9.invisionfree.com/Pilots_For_Truth/index.php?showtopic=7948
Suspicious? Extremely. So I scoured JREF to figure out what Dude Bob could possibly be talking about when he writes about "death threats". This is what I found:

I can't be 100% certain, of course. But it is my contention that P4T forums have some way of manipulating hyperlinks so that when the domain "randi.org" is detected, it is changed to "governmentloyalistsite.org".
Some "truth seekers", indeed.
Not that I condone Dude Bob's trolling (he's plastered Harry Potter spoilers all over P4T), but, Jesus [rule8]ing Christ!
I think we should wear the label "government loyalist site" as a symbol of pride, the same way the term "Yankee" was originally used as in insult but came to be a term of pride for the very people it was used against.
LONG LIVE THE GOVERNMENT LOYALIST SITE!
