Some of these bullies, like Paul Bradley, realize that they don't know
the meanings of the words they use. Paul Bradley not only posts nonsense
about brute force attacks on OTP, but also harrasses anyone who exposes
his utter ignorance, in en effort to intimidate them into shutting up.
You don`t seem to realise that not only is my reputation unnafected
by your worthless drivel about "brute force attacks on one time
pads", which everyone else apart from you and Don immediately
accepted as a simple misunderstanding of the topic of the message (I
was talking about stream ciphers), but I am finding it rather amusing
to watch the level of your rants deteriorate to the point where you
now label anyone who actually posts about cryptography on this list
as a "k00l hAcKiNg D00d" who knows nothing of what he is talking
about. And as for harrasing people to shut up if you had been
watching the traffic on the list you would have noticed that I
disagreed with John over throwing you off the list. I simply wonder
if the reason you appear to be so calm offline but a foaming at the
mouth lunatic online is that you are scared someone is going to give
you the good kicking you so rightly deserve.
...
"Cypherpunks'" opinion of any proposed new cryptosystem is worthless and
irrelevant.
And I suppose the opinion of a man who cannot control his urges to
post rants about "sovok jews" and armenian refugees is of great value
to the learned and worthy???
Paul Bradley packs so many lies into 30 lines of text, it's almost remarkable.

First, I don't post rants about "Sovok Jews" to cypherpunks. Paul lies.
(I happen to be Jewish, which is one of the reasons why Tim May hates my guts.)

Second, Paul Bradley's own words do more to expose his own ignorance and
stupidity than anything anyone else could say about him. This is my article
which immediately preceded John Gilmore's shameful act of censorship:

Paul Bradley spoke about OTP, not stream cyphers. He lies.

Third, Paul lies about his "opposition" to John Gilmore's censorship.
Here is an e-mail Paul sent to the non-existent address "dvl" in
response to an anonymous article on cypherpunks:

<stupid sig snipped>

It's clear that Paul supported John's "removal" of me from the list.

Paul Bradley sent me dozens of hate e-mails. When he started mailbombing
me with multiples copies of my own cypherpunks postings with obscenities
appended, I set up a filter to bounce his junk back to him. Paul appears
to be obsessed with me.

Behold the collected works of Paul Bradley before the bouncer was set up:
