You have 1 post immediately after OP, then you have 1 post that I initially responded to, and now you have 3 posts telling me to read the other two (hint: those don't count, if you can't figure out why, you're a bigger idiot than I thought).

Would you like to clarify whatever point you were making in this post, or are you just gonna posture all day?

Yep, I read it, right to the end - even referenced it in one of my posts. wrabbit seems to be saying that all TOR use is risky and illegitimate, which I disagree with - primarily because he ignored/confused technical aspects in making that assumption. He has yet to refute, he's just getting his little bunny ears all ruffled, instead.

I had hurried back to clarify all my posts, just for you. I feel like it was a wasted effort because you never noticed I made it. Sometimes I can't catch a break, man.

I even put a "please" in there, meanie.

And there you are talking out of your own ass, telling me what I meant, when I linked the story.

And why did I bump a months quiet thread about TOR?

Because I care about TOR.

And that's your mistake.

YOU are conflating the terms risky and illegitimate.

You're in the military...your work is risky...are you illegitimate?

It's always for a Good Cause.

Just like when I use TOR.

Speaking of Good Causes, Applebaum and crew are working literally today (11/30) to liberate Syrian communications, because Bashar al-Assad is trying (and failing) to prevent news of his genocide from leaving the country.
