Earlier today I predicted that Unicorn's satisfaction with tmp's "apology" would be short-lived, that the so-called apology actually looked like a dead ringer for Detweiler's "abject apology" to the Cypherpunks list several months back. I predicted that Detweiler/tmp's latest "apology" would presage a major new assault. Faster than I imagined, it arrive tonight. Filled with invective, forgeries, thinkly veiled death threats, and more accusations that Black Unicorn is the mastermind of a plot to cause the collapse of Western governments (let's hope Unicorn's Swiss clients are spared this one). Unicorn challenged me today about when the last time I responded/defended myself against tmp's rants--I said it was a couple of weeks ago (and then to expand on a point, not to answer the juvenile rants). Generally, any response, no matter how reasoned, not matter how measured, produces a ten-fold resonse from Detweiler. It's pointless to respond. Detweiler is apparently now persuaded that Unicorn cannot touch him, and plans to go for the jugular. If Unicorn's True Name and True Phone Number is known to LD as a result of their recent negotiations (which were apparently moot), I expect we'll see this soon enough in Detweiler's phony sig blocks. (Fortunately, in all the months LD has been attaching my phone number, 408-688-5409, in his various sig blocks, I've never gotten a phone call asking what the hell is going on. Restores my hope.) Anyway, the action is raging in talk.politics.crypto. For whatever reason, Detweiler has to date made only limited use of remailers. All hell will break loose when he really starts. --Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
