I'm only going to say this once.
First off, it was nearly 5 years ago.
Second, I made it clear in the post and the extensive discussion at
the time that Hereticnet and Freenet are (hypothetically) *two*
*different* *networks*, using
different (albeit related) software.
No need to defend, Matthew. The idea of internal censorship may be a
lousy one, at least it sounds like that to me.
But the conclusion our anonymous crusader starts out with: 'proof of
his hypocrisy' and you not to be trusted, is pretty ridicilous. Were
you indeed not to be trusted, you wouldn't have done this
brainstorming about a sort of censorship-from-the-inside in the open,
and were you out on implementing whatever backdoor in FN in order to
expose users, you'd surely not published about it at all.
That's exactly what I would do, if I was a malicious uber-coder, to win
your trust :D.
Joke, seeing the :D but interesting still.
Trust, IMO is given intuitively rather than gained by control, in this
case by peer review of Toads code.
To non-expert me it seems that someone smart enough to program software
for a complex network, surely is able to hide a backdoor effectively.
Seeing what all functions can be crammed in a very small trojan..
It comes down to: do I dare to do what I want to do with FN?, and that
is not so much determined by if I trust the person Toad but if I trust
myself doing that in particular using Freenet, the way I want to.
Me, I thoroughly distrust everything with M$ in its label, because the
company has so many times deceived its users and played foul towards
competition.
But that doesn't keep me from using its OS. It just dictates how I use it.
Peculiar concept, trust. One could translate the word with self
awareness. Do I trust my own judgment and instinct.
The remailing whistle blower above might wonder how he feels about his
own actions and attitude instead of wavering his finger.
