RE: Immature blabla / cisco exploit

["James Patterson Wicks" <pwicks () oxygen com>]

I have to agree.  I subscribed after hearing about this list on CNN.COM, but while most of the post are helpful and 
informative, the number messages used to insult/degrade/embarrass other posters is overwhelming.  I hope that the list 
moderators take some sort of action to cut down on the nasty postings so that we can focus on the REALLY important 
issues concerning our industry.

Oh brother ... What a load of crap. I signed up to this list yesterday
looking for good insights into our industry, and am signing off today
because the only thing that comes over it is from people beating their
chests and patting there own backs.

DuFresne - is that French?  I won't expect you to be fluent in English;
nor shall I expect you to use the word email in your emails.  Nice to know
however that you have national pride.  Unfortunately, the pride is for
France.

In the future, I suggest you not attempt to insult my intelligence on this
list, or in any other forum, else I will be forced to challenge you to
technical debates that beyond the scope of knowledge that you, or anyone
willing to proxy-argue for you, will be able to comprehend.  This will
undoubtedly be damaging to your image of a security-professional posting
incoherent banter concerning the use of grep(1) for source auditing,
rewritten material on commercial firewall devices you've never touched,
and your pleasurable arguments with your arch-nemisis, Matthew Murphy.

In short, the more ignorant readers of this list who think there is any
validity to what you say, will recognize you for the moron that you are,
and this understanding will extend to whatever clientele that purchases
your services.  Then you'll never be able to move out of your mothers
house, and will never have an opportunity to lose your virginity.

But all insults aside, let us now get back on topic.

My suggestion is to more clearly define what is considered appropriate
security material to go on this list.  I understand that you feel
threatened, since if the standard is raised even the slightest you'll have
nowhere to post, but resorting to these petty condescending attacks
against me will not help you establish the illusion of technical prowess
on your behalf.

Thank you.
