One of the unwritten rules of the Internet is not to piss of smart, technically competent people. It is very easy to bring down large websites, and it's difficult to know, for sure, that you are secure. The people doing unreflected denial of service attacks are the ones that are getting arrested - but they're the idiots.

It's like dousing yourself with gasoline, then lighting a flare in the middle of a kerosene storage facility that is leaking all over the place.

You *may* not get burned alive, but the probability of it is astronomically high.  Poking a bear with a pointy stick, or walking through an active minefield are also apt analogies.
