Character vulnerabilities

[Peer Janssen <peer () baden-online de>]

Hi list,

I read so many postings on this list of people who seemingly do not 
control their anger, fury etc. which seems to bump their heads straight 
at their ceilings.

Do you really consider this as qualities of a security 
researcher/consultant/employee/...?

I'd rather consider them vulnerabilities which might expose them to 
social engineering attacks or to being blinded by their own rage, which 
can easily result in destructive carelessness in many areas.

I don't think that it makes a good publicity for a company to work with 
security people not mastering themselves. Why would you entrust them 
with your systems if they react so emotionally? Shouldn't they rather be 
clear-minded, rational, controlling themselves, etc., when dealing in 
any way with security issues?

So please, do yourself and those around you a favor and change; you CAN 
do it, and you will make everybody happier, and youself more efficient, 
if happyness is not your thing.

So cheer up, and take it a bit more easily!
Peer
