Freedom of speech is for "Cypherpunk critics" too

Funny, I notice how many of the critics of Cypherpunks and supporters of this express train approach to repealing the Bill of Rights are themselves hiding behind Cypherpunks remailers, Hushmail aliases, and Ziplip nyms.
If you're upset that "critics of the Cypherpunks" are able to speak freely then you shouldn't have supported the technologies that enable them to do so. Free speech is for everyone, not just those who toe your line of violence and blood revenge.

No, I'm not "upset." I said it was "funny," as in "ironic." The main critics of anonymity are the main users here. Hilarious. --Tim May

Bull, your implication was they were hypocrites and cowards. Don't white wash it.

Hilarious.
Actually it isn't. It's a perfect example of why annonymity tools are needed. Not all violent people are against anonymity. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

Ninny. That's exactly the point. I understand Tim to be merely pointing out the irony that "critics of the Cypherpunks" are enjoying the fruits of the Cypherpunks' labor while simultaneously calling for their demise. Somewhat hypocritical of them, if you ask me. -MW-
