LOL!
   Supporting what would be censorship, an attack on freedom of speech,
   merely because someone wrote something that generated negative
   publicity really is trolling gold.

     I heard something on NPR in the car, part of their "This is Think"
     series, about an article on Harpers about ... Assassination
     Politics!
     The NPR story referenced Jim Bell and cypherpunks a bunch of times,
     and
     rehashed a bunch of shit that is in the article (which I wasn't
     familiar with).  It also talked about scammers with fake AP markets.
     One of the things that struck me is that it seems most (none) of the
     intended victims were *not* being killed for being part of the
     government or being cops or anything remotely as Jim has idealized
     it.
     They were people being targeted for the same old stupid reasons
     idiots
     are always killing each other: unrequited love, jealousy, rage, etc.

     Couldn't find the NPR bit online, I imagine it will show up here in
     the
     next day or so (it seems to be a couple days behind):
