Well put. Whenever a reporter needs to do a story about c'punks he'll look at the archive and see this huge thread of idiotic posts about bombs, and he'll say, "Yup, I thought so. Violent anti-government terrorist wannabes." At a rational level, that isn't true; c'punks
The thread is only about 15 posts so far. And there have been similar threads for the better part of a decade. Trying to discourage them is not exactly going to work.
Hey that is a lot more interesting than talking about bombs. At least styles change, and have something to do with aesthetics. Bomb stuff is just the same boring old stuff, and it looks ugly.
Heck, you could say the same thing about "cryptoanarchy wrecking the tax system" or "anonymous remailers would let terrorists communicate with impunity." -Declan
