I thought it was funny. Jake did that shit all last year, and no one cared. In a match where the outcome is obvious, the humor is needed so the thread doesn't die.
Besides, the threats of red rep are kinda silly. In a close match or tie, the tiebreaker is written vote. Why on earth would you encourage people that aren't posting to post a written reason when it's going to come back and bite you in the butt anyway. So the best way to get back at the person making the threats, write a response.
