Do you extend this same "unintended consequences" for Snowden's leaks when it comes to legitimate security issues, creating rifts between governments, creating discord among the population, accusing encryption of being the reason aliens haven't made contact, making it easier for FIS or terrorist groups to evade surveillance that has the potential to stop attacks against the critical infrastructure that John likes to take pictures of and post?

I take that part back, that's not a fair comparison. Snowden exposed national security secrets including those necessary for cyber defense (including preventative measures and identifying attacks before they happen) of critical infrastructure i.e. the energy grid, internet backbone, potentially exposing assets and risk their lives etc and strain diplomatic relations across the globe.

Whereas here, the consequences are you bitching and moaning about not being unsubscribed from a list. Which is the "end result" of a troll, somehow. Because spammers want to unsubscribe you from mailing lists. On the plus side, I guess I won't hear from you anymore about this supposed troll? .... I guess that's a fair deal.

1. If JYA had been willing to quietly verify that information in the first place, I wouldn't've had to publish it. Instead, he lied and said I faked the data.
2. I only brought it up because it was relevant to the GCHQ slide, which John refused to comment on except to tell me in an email to keep going.
3. As John has said, 'What if we harm somebody' or all this kind of crap. Which is strictly cowardice." When he didn't cooperate and then told me to keep going, I took that as his blessing.
4. The majority of those extra posts about Cryptome or using the word Cryptome didn't come from me, they came from people throwing accusations at me and deflecting from the real point which was the fxcking GCHQ slide. Because heaven forbid we talk about actual cypherpunk issues instead of accusing someone who doesn't worship Snowden or JYA enough.

I'm getting fed up with what feels like endless hypocrisy and personal attacks over a situation that I didn't play the dominant role in creating - JYA did. But I guess it's more fun to rabblerouse about shit and make accusations

Your trolling the list with the basically useless information that JYA
sold logs THAT HIS SITE OPERATION MAY NOT HAVE GENERATED (they may be
netsol's right?) created a spike in the use of the word "Cryptome" etc
on the radar of hackers and spammers, so yeah, you're responsible Mike. I can almost guarantee it wouldn't have happened without you. RR
