I don't think "mr. anonymous" has crossed that line... From: Gary Slinger [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 11:15 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: list delays
Nice. Very nice. ________________________________ From: Don Ely <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 08:19:43 -0700 To: NT System Admin Issues<[email protected]> ReplyTo: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: list delays For those that don't recall... Back in 2000-2001, there was a tool that chose to degrade women on the list for what reason I don't recall... Said tool was posting from his work account which made his comments all the more interesting... Said tool, was "responsible for exchange and all things security" at Labor Ready. Tool was asked to return to the shed, refrain from acting like a douche waffle in a public forum and apologize publicly. All the while, some "information gathering" was being performed. Captain Tool of all Douche Waffles was asked one last time to apologize, otherwise his employer would be informed at the highest levels of his behavior. For some reason he thought he was untouchable... Needless to say, Captain Tool of all Douche Waffles circa 2000-2001 remained combative and unwilling to show remorse... It was a interesting phone call from the CIO of Labor Ready. He was truly interested in how someone could know so much about the internal network of Labor Ready... It's been said, that he was very happy that their company received a "security audit/penetration test" on the house at the time... We'll just say that Captain Tool of all Douche Waffles was never heard from again and the breached levy's were rebuilt and better reinforced to reduce the attack surface... A $44k per year company with one employee (actually 2 if you really study the LinkedIN profile) most certainly isn't worth that kind of effort... Well, not to me anyway...

I don't see it that way. And if anyone from this list saw fit to speak to my employer or attack me personally via telephone or snail mail, I'd see fit to go over to knock on their door and have it out with them. I come from a pretty grassroots place so if someone's out of order we tend to see nothing wrong with getting down on the cobbles, if necessary, and sorting it out. Each to their own. I don't think anyone here would do that, though. Maybe I'm "naive geek", but I'm not worrying about it. IMHO, YMMV, usual disclaimers. Signature will soon be gone.

But....whatever. You know I've considered using my real name on here several times. However, after seeing how a lot of the "masters" of this list treat the readers of the list, I'll never do it. The "masters" find enjoyment in berating and personally attacking readers of the list. I wouldn't put it past some or the "masters" to actually look somebody up and either A) call a list member's employer to complain, or B) personally attack (verbally) in real life over the phone, via snail mail, etc. This list is still useful but there is a lot of unprofessionalism that goes on that has nothing to do with my 'cynicalgeek' email address not using my real name.

I've seen worse signatures with huge pictures, those are pretty objectionable. The list members have come down hard on people with huge graphics and whatnot in their signature. Is Mr Rankin's long? Yeah, but it's text and it doesn't stand out and cry for my attention, either. Turning this on its head. If you expect the courtesy of Mr. Rankin trimming his signature, why is it unreasonable for someone to ask you to use your real name? Or at least use an alias that appears legitimate. Community is built when people "know" who their peers are.
