From: nfernandes at securitytimes.com (Nuno Fernandes) Subject: PHC replies to criticism Why don't you PHC freaks get a life. -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-admin@...ts.netsys.com [mailto:full-disclosure-admin@...ts.netsys.com] On Behalf Of phc@...hmail.com Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2002 6:16 PM To: full-disclosure@...ts.netsys.com Subject: [Full-Disclosure] PHC replies to criticism -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello, In response to Len's administrivia... We have decided to avoid self-defeating personal vendettas on this list and focus on those critics of PHC who possess the ability to think clearly and make cogent arguments. Such critics include Paul Schmehl and Steve Manzuik, perhaps the only critics on this list who have displayed clarity of thought and the ability to make logical and relevant arguments against what we have said. No names will be mentioned here, but we will be ignoring the following classes of people: 1. Those paranoid schizophrenics who make outlandish conspiracy theory claims suggesting that PHC is a government project or that PHC has been influenced by the government. We're not sure if these people are serious, but anyway. The meds aren't meant to taste good. 2. Those weak-minded individuals who, as we have mentioned in a previous sermon, resort to nothing but ad hominem attacks such as "lamers," "scriptkids," "newbies," and so on -- attacks they can't back up with evidence when challenged, i.e. they ignore the challenge totally and throw out further unsubstantiated, vaporous drivel. This makes them look like stubborn intellectual midgets who are capable of nothing except baseless monologues. 3. Those people unable to focus on the points raised, but instead choose to go off on a tangent with their self-promotional rants about how they are reformed blackhats and such. The transparency of these people in their job hunting process is truly laughable. This is a really silly thing to note here, but one of these individuals who has been online since 1994 has called PHC "fresh bloods," when in actual fact the majority of PHC has been online since before then, as is clearly evident to anyone who researches old ezine releases and knows enough about PHC to make accurate connections. As if time online necessarily relates to "skillz" or other irrelevant crap, anyway. 4. People sending in "narc" logs that have been floating around for a long time, not realizing that they are actually doing us a favour in vindicating us of terrorism motives. Well, OK, we will mention one name: the fake 'nwonknu' who also appears to be the fake 'shiftee'. Do what you may, but you are welcome to email us and express your grievances against us. Don't read into this as a passive assimilation tactic, though. As an exercise to the reader, see if you can classify the expected replies to this post based on the classes outlined above. The person who posts the most accurate classification attempt will be awarded op status in #phrack (yay).
