An inglorious suicide
Jeff Jacoby (back to web version) | Send
March 4, 2005
Hunter Thompson's suicide was an act of selfishness and
cruelty. But more
depraved by far has been the celebration of that suicide by
those who
supposedly loved or admired him.
What does this have to do with cypherpunks? This is not your personal
blog. Most of the list traffic is forwarded or cross-posted news
articles, but how is HST's suicide remotely on-topic?
I absolutely agree. The value of Hettinga's posts to Cypherpunks and
the Cryptography list has absolutely gone down the tubes, to the point
where I have had to write special filter rules to isolate his posts
from the actual content.
The dozen or so full-length article on HST have simply no relevance
to either list.
If he had any respect for others at all, he'd give the URL and
a couple lines of summary. Or even better is your suggestion that
he use his own blog, or set up his own mailing list instead of
spamming the lists with off-topic crap.
His behaviour has sunk his reputation well into the
Choate/Matt Taylor range.
