Update:
Tripp Gal finally shut down the disparaging Mac26x thread. I have been invited to start a new thread but feel the work is done. This is the post mortum published on SA.
*****
In the beginning there was the Thread - The Future of Yacht Design. The minions behaved well and respected the master, learning at his feet. Some disagreeable sorts like Bubba and Tripp Gal expressed discontent. But that was to be expected when building a new utopia. The master taught the magnificence of the almighty MacGregor, and warned against the false prophecy of the evil Teeters.
Then a demon cast himself as Robert Perry (the real Perry being a demi-deity respected by all the minions, but not part of the new utopia) and peeked into the new utopia. As the master showed the upstart the door, a minion named BHyde momentarily lost faith. Bhyde took advantage of the uncertainty that the minions felt while watching the master diss someone they believed to be Perry. He convinced the minions to abandon the new utopia and take their toys with them so that newcomers would find the Thread to be barren and unsatisfying.
At that moment the real face of evil, perhaps the partner of Teeters, appeared. His name was Haxor and he removed all of the master's sayings while the minions were eliminating there own. Haxor threatened the very structure upon which the Thread and all other threads existed. The master fought mightily and banished Haxor from the Kingdom of Threads, but not before all the master's sayings had been destroyed.
Out of the ashes arose the Church. The master is it's prophet
