Even if they had not corrected that - are insane to take that seriously? It would never stand up in court anywhere.
That's like saying when you watch House MD on your Sony TV, that episode of House MD becomes the intellectual property of Sony Corp. Come on, use your common sense!

Another reason is because they can.

Another is because they want to.

Yes, because they can is a great reason... And because they want to is no reason. People ask, why you would want to use this mod and you say "because they want to". LOL

Another reason is maybe they hate Google, maybe they dont want to allow people who use Googles data mining products to access their site.

If they hate Google and they want to shoot themselves in the foot - sure. But they are also making the decision not for themselves, they are making that decision on the behalf of all who visit their forum. That's of course their right, but rather closed minded and totally against the principles of community and sharing - which is partially what a forum is all about.

Maybe they just dont want to hear people cry about how features don't work in a beta browser?

Haven't heard a single person crying about anything not working on a forum yet. Webkit is a very good rendering engine and Safari is a sophisticated browser. Ask any Mac user. Anything that works on Safari will work on Google Chrome, even in Beta. And if they do cry, they cry to Google. So what is the issue?

Should i keep going?

No, please don't.
