No, I haven't gone looking for the two odd examples that no one can seem to find. And it's just as much a violation of the TOS to be broad bushing a group of DU members as it is to call them out individually. On the other hand responding to them directly is allowed. But I admit, ya kinda lose the whole straw man aspect doing that.
