Hey, Jim, don't forget me. You are the only person I have ever specifically UNinvited to one of my parties in over a decade of hosting same. I guess that makes you special.
You're confused. You're describe YOUR reaction to ME, not MY reaction to YOU. And I am unaware of being invited to a "party," and now that I've discovered what a sleazy person Alan Olsen and his merry band are, it is really doubtful that I would have enjoyed what was advertised as a cypherpunks meeting, but which you now claim was a "party." Your level of "honesty" is showing.
"Cypherpunk" is not a trademarked name. I've seen people say on this list (paraphrased) "I'm a cypherpunk, and I oppose unrestricted free speech because we must silence {homophobes}child pornographers|terrorists}" or "I'm hosting a cypherpunks meeting and X will not be permitted to come because I don't like his political views". I like reading this list, but if these views are compatible with being a cypherpunk, then I'm not one. --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
