Just to clarify, which I also did on /. & reddit, that toolbar is no longer offered. I think you're right about what happened though. It had been identified as parked and then went unparked before the bot had a chance to get there. It would have been (and probably has by now) removed automatically. The toolbar never asserted it was evil, just that it might be "useless." His users extrapolated the rest. And if he had emailed, it could have been removed quickly.
