sigh
please update RES.
you're only 4 minutes late, but your ALL CAPS and YOUR TONE is unnecessary.

My tone was mock melodrama. I guess I wasn't over-the-top enough for the humor to be apparent. I tried to lighten up a serious issue here, but I suppose I have to agree with you that humor isn't necessary in life. I will try to intone the text I write in a robotic voice just to be safe from now on.

a quick tech note: the link rewriting was happening for CPU performance reasons on browsers that don't support adding history natively, so they use a shitty iframe hack...
that aside: most of the stuff coming from DA fanatics freaking out over the link rewriting has been much like your post came off -- except with no intent of "humor", and often laden with profanity and hateful words... occasionally threats (granted I don't take some idiot threatening me over the internet seriously, but anyway...)
so it's hard for me to guess / assume there's humor coming from anyone complaining about that particular subject... the way people have reacted has been, shall we say, slightly over the top...

It's cool. I checked the settings and asked people about fixing it. I didn't come straight here to rant. I'm just happy it's fixed.
I use mock-melodrama as a defense mechanism for when I am upset about something but I also think that it is too silly for me to be that upset about it. It may need some polish for use in text. nervous laugh

Okay, I just saw the post about 4.1.2 and a mention of Deviant Art. I thought the software was going to destroy another part of my life.
TL;DR Things are working now in 4.1.2. Crisis Averted.
