It's like when you have a TV sitcom where the main character is an obnoxious bastard, say like Blackadder. You watch all the episodes thinking what a dick he is, then you see one where he's up against, say, the German "I voz zer sheep" guy played by Hugh Laurie, and suddenly you find yourself routing for Blackadder because, he may be a cunt, but he's OUR cunt.

I think a lot of opinion was divided. Some people, such as myself, didn't like Moggy after the peado posts. I have to confess I was surprised that some people I respected didn't seem to care too much just because there were giggles to be had. I cannot possibly talk for anyone else, but for me, it was a step too far even for B3ta and a lot of the time if I logged on and she/he was flavour of the day i logged out again.

Industrial Revolution, when the ordinary people got screwed over and the wealthy bosses got very rich (much like the Olympics organisers).
More dancing. A few dozen Beatles clones mixed in there for some reason.
Big dance number involving a giant Voldemort and Mary Poppins clones.
