The sheer stupidity of some people really boggles my mind.

How, exactly, did they thing that a denial of service was going to force the guy to pay? So the site is slow (or down) for a couple of days.

The site is just too busy looking.

Dude, if you really wanna extort someone, threaten to link their website to Slashdot.
