I call them children because they're behaving that way, throwing temper tantrums, posting porn, and generally displaying the mentality of 12-year olds. I call them children because they think they're being clever hiding behind anonymizing e-mail accounts while invoking images of massive forces of darkness advancing on civilization, presumably to the tune of Heavy Metal (or whatever the modern equivalent is). It doesn't take any technical competence whatsoever to do these things. It certainly doesn't require any of the study that auto461723@...hmail.com asks if we have done. Okay, I haven't studied all that material and I don't foresee doing so. But citing it is not the same as studying it or being able to discuss it intelligently. And I would not imply that I could by asserting that others have not. Instead, as my black list grows, now all I see is pseudo-intellectual attempts to rationalize the "phrack" position. So the massive forces of darkness advancing on civilization imagine themselves blessed by righteousness. The first twenty years of a person's life might, if productively used, be spent learning to think. It is evident to me that the "phrack" children have not yet completed this process. -- David Benfell, LCP benfell@...ts-unknown.org --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/resume.html -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
