The country doesn't work because some forum members called out another member for cluelessly starting a "news" thread about an old topic? That seems pretty reductive.
Most intelligent, thoughtful and mature people wouldn't give a damn about it. It wouldn't be a big deal. If one person read it for the first time, the whole post wouldn't have been wasted. It would probably amaze you how much stuff I let go because my life is not such that trying to be an Internet bully isn't that important to me.
The difference between us, other than maturity and having priorities, my life is not so drab that I have to follow a multitude to try and entertain myself at someone else's expense. Go ahead and flame away. Show me how much free time that you have on your hands to try and put someone down.
