Rishab Aiyer Ghosh: As it so happens, hardly anyone here knew about Norton Encrypt so we got embroiled in this argument. If we were to adopt a consistently (and solely) moral stance, we would accept Detweiler's position that remailers are bad and should be banned because they can be easily misused.
There is a difference between believing that something is wrong (a moral stance), and believing that force should be used to stop it (a ban). A consistent position, for someone believing remailers are bad, would be that they personally wouldn't run a remailer or tell other people how to do so. It would not require advocating bans on remailers. And trying to _convince_ other people not to do something, without the threat of force, is not _banning_. -- Ken Arromdee (email: arromdee@jyusenkyou.cs.jhu.edu) "No boom today.
