Like a vast network of communication systems/hardware, uncensored (pun intended), that can talk to each other. Every list, channel, or whatever I go to now a days...within a few posts there is always that bright and cheery message: STAY ON TOPIC. Because why could a different topic or cause bring like minded people together to talk about other things? Arguments aside, making any conclusions from these posts would be ridiculous. It could be the greatest list in the world or the worst. All these big words in these emails...too hard to understand. It's pretty crappy that on one side of the world, the threat of death is held over someones head because of their spiritual beliefs (atheism, governmentism, whatever) and to talk about the actions of others and governments will get you killed (past events, real world coverups), but the best and brightest here spend time bitching about stuff like this. I could attack a persons character everyday, that video makes me want to hit someone in the face really hard, but you know what I am going to do? What the hell does "foreign" or "made in usa" have to do with any of this? It just sounds like Ben is angry...but considering all the content that pops up in my news feed...I do not know what to take seriously. It could be he just likes to talk a lot. Lets just all admit that most of the best stuff is made on Earth and that the lines that divide us suck. I am sure the person hacking away across the planet on some ancient hardware, with no internet access, is just as good as all us folks. Jim seems like he deserves some respect because of all the hard work that it seems like he puts in. No offence, but I have never quantified it. Ben wants to defend something that he has spent a lot of time on and its a bit angry over what Jim said. I know someone Ben knows, and that guy seems pretty cool and I once wrote and email to Jim that took at least and hour or two to write and he never responded. Ben + Video = What the Hell? Jim + Email = What the Hell? If I where Ben, and I ran a business, I would want Jim to back up his claims that I just dupe other lists, and admit to myself that my senseless attack on his character is meaningless because what the heck really does Jim know about where I get my links from and what does any of this have to do with foreign affairs. That video is like neat and all, but it sounds like your just mad at someone and blaming a group of people that you do not know anything about. Is that really what you want people to see when they are thinking about using your blacklist? Even if two lists are the same or similar, it could just be the same collection process so what the heck is Jim talking about? Did Jim go through a bunch of different lists and run a statistical analysis? If I where Jim, I also wouldn't use the phrase "and likely" because it sounds like a roll of the dice. And I am sure, that this carefully constructed response will fall on deaf ears because they are too busy listening to transcripts of twitter posts and github comments. Why does everyone top post on this list? _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
