Sorry. Disagree. Words matter. I know that's not a popular take with the Psychopathic mainstream of American corporate society, so let me elucidate. At the beginning of the Iraq war (the second, perpetual one) I was reading an article in the SF Chron by an 'embedded' reporter. He was interviewing a grunt who had beat his way to Baghdad to occupy it and was discussing a civilian woman, whom the grunt had killed in the process. The grunt replied, in frustration "I'm sorry ... but the bitch got in the way" Words depersonalize, dehumanize, and sometimes, inside the office or outside it, can get your head blown off.As the security guard at the door of your workplace will tell you as you go through the metal detector... But in ioerror's case, I suspect he's more stable than ANY of the people who vilified and demonized him. Good thing that, eh? Or Torproject could have ended with a BANG! Rr
