There are currently four separate posters who have been flagged out of existence, as well as a couple others in that thread who have been downvoted to oblivion. One of the posters kept re-posting the same comment after it got flagged, although it seems that has been removed. At the time of my post that thread was the largest discussion thread on this article (it still is, although it's at least been downvoted enough to stop appearing near the top).
