CypherPunks,
Is there anyone out there thinking that in several years all of us will be looking back on this (The Detweiler fiasco) and remarking on it as being something of a ground-breaking flame war that would have repercussions throughout cyberspace and the future? I was thinking this
I totally disagree - as far as I can tell, Detweiler is wrestling with some emotional issues that most people work through while they're in their middle-to-late teens. Problem is, he thinks Eric & Tim are his parents. Either he's gonna figure things out, and in a few years this is gonna be a really embarassing episode, or we're going to wake up one morning to find him on the front page of the newspaper, surrounded by bodies in the lobby of some post office, screaming about MEDUSA and TENTACLES and FAKE MAIL and SODOMY and DRUGS. As I see it, it's either 2.5 kids, a station wagon, and a house in the suburbs for him - or getting shot by a SWAT team. I'd say the odds are about 50/50. -- Greg Broiles Lemon Detweiler Pledge? greg@goldenbear.com You're soaking in it.
