Sorry everybody, I should know better to feed the pidgeons. FWIW though, this one made me chuckle. Audible, real-life, endorphine releasing chuckle. =D In the spirit of the original question/complaint/troll, and to reiterate my points (which I felt were made rather gentlemanly, if I do say so myself), you can call Tor a lot of things, but a scam is simply not true. Scam is, by definition, not a accurate assessment of the Tor project, onion routing, and generally anything produced by the talented folks who DONATE their time to the project. So by extension and assumption, I feel comfortable with my overall comprehension of your (again, directed to the OP) messages. I call your concise and meaningful and raise you logic. And, I'm all in! As for taking you for an idiot, of course not. I stopped interacting with uninteresting people years ago... well anyways, I'm in it for the meat, if there is any. Plus, you made me chuckle. Facing inadequecies in projects head on with open minds is one of the many reasons open source software and the communities behind them are so important. > > On 10/18/15 1:05 AM, Virgil Griffith wrote: > > I re-iterate a request for the tor-opentalk@ list. > > > > -V > > > > On Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 2:58 PM Josef Stautner <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > >> Hello Juan, > >> > >> I can't understand why you subscribe to a list of "scammers" then. > >> You escalated very quickly and showed a rude attitude most people > >> can't stand and normally silently ignore and laugh about.
