You responded:

    It was a recommendation of OpenBSD rather than an attack.

It was neither a recommendation of OpenBSD nor an attack.

Your message did not talk about OpenBSD, but if it had, that would not
be an excuse.  If you post information about an exploit through which
someone's site can be attacked, you can't evade the responsibility by
including some opinions in the message.

I would not call your message "an attack", because encouraging attacks
is not the same thing as making an attack.  It is not the same, but it
goes in the same direction.  I hope that the other OpenBSD developers
will repudiate such conduct.  Surely we can disagree without resorting
to encouraging sabotage.
