MeTa post: metafilter.com redirecting to login page

This has happened to me on three different machines today. On one, I only got redirected to the login prompt once -- on the other two I got it multiple times. Everything seems to be normal again now and I'm pretty much out of computers.

MeTa post: Grow a skin, people.

I'm essentially a lurker and have never been inspired to write to MetaTalk before, but I did think that the second paragraph was gratuitous and annoying. Should an FPP really be used to drum up support for writing Wikipedia articles? The actual links are interesting and suitable, but the editorial at the end seems completely out of place to me.
