Gotta Admit... I'm Pretty Baffled By The Split And Depth Of Feeling Re:The Assange/WikiLeaks Story

280. The point is...

As with the "editing" of the diplomatic cables, and the complete backtrack on the alleged BoA materials, you are trusting the "editor" to give you a complete picture. Recapitulating the entire history of the court order that was served on Enom would take a bit longer than I have time for here, but Assange's characterization is false and personally attacks people who had nothing to do with it. That tells me all I need to know about the kind of person he is, and whether he is trustworthy.

And, again, insofar as the "editing" goes. You are told it is being done "responsibly". All you have done is to trade government secrecy for Assange's secrecy. He has information, and has decided for your own good to withhold it from you. Isn't that really the same thing?

And you can shove your faux "sympathy" for people who had nothing to do with the issue, didn't even work for the company, and had to put up with the bullshit he inflicted on them. Wait until you get caught in the crossfire of a ranting egomaniacal asshole sometime, and it becomes a hobby of people with too much time on their hands to harass you.
