By the way, boys, I apologize in advance, but in throwing away the naughty
French version of Reliable, and going back to the good old American
version, I neglected to say that I make no representations as to the length
of time that will pass before I again embrace the delectable French
Reliable.
If I see too many instances of nastiness showing up on the net, I may feel
the need to jump back in and start monitoring again; blocking follows from
that ('censorship' to the Shyster); and after that, making known the id of
the scumbags responsible. It goes without saying that more sophisticated
monitoring will follow: keyword searches of content; monitoring the input
to the remailer, etc., etc.
I can say that I will never jeopardize or invade the privacy of legitimate
users, but people I suspect of being in the scumbag catergory, and it is I
who must decide who is or is not a scumbag, have, in my humble opinion, no
right to privacy: I will track them down like the skunks they are.
And, yes, I think that content is something that must be looked at, and
when it is found to fall into the scumbag category (according to my
judgement), may and will be used to censor the post: I will not (I mean,
possibly, and in the future) allow Eelbash to be used as a conduit for
every species of filth).
At the moment I don't have to tools to do the job properly: a keyword
search program is needed, but when I do, the temptation to use it may be
overwhelming.
Please note that none of this is the case now: I am simply reserving the
right to do it at some time in the future.
Think about it: American society has become so degraded that 'motherXXXXer'
is now a term of endearment! Unfortunately, the US seems to have a large
influence on other Western countries, and I don't doubt that 'motherXXXXer'
is also a term of endearment in many other nations, or is at least
considered a benign word of greeting and reference.
Do you want the remailers to be a part of this? Do you want to lie down
with the lice and get lousy, or do you want to apply the bug spray of
monitoring and censorship to destroy the little bastards?
Even if you are one of the lice, remailers that follow such an
irresponsible course will, eventually, bring down the wrath of the public
and politicians, and end up legislated out of existence.
Of course, remailers are klunky, and something like Publius, or WOF, will
probaby soon replace them.; I'm not sure how they work, but have the
feeling it will become more difficult for right-minded operators to do
their good work. That will probably hasten the demise of Publius and WOF,
along with all other remailers.
My apolgies again for misleading you, perhaps.
