Greg, Joe and I seem to think you're missing the point.

It's not that Mr. Nobody's article was OFFENSIVE; I can deal with
and even appreciate offensive.

No, it's that it was cowardly (anonymous) terrorism, ENCOURAGING and
FACILITATING, not merely advocating, action that could cripple the
net. By posting that command line, Mr. Nobody made it possible for a
lot of people to be a lot closer to silencing anyone on the net they
don't agree with. I call that terrorism, and I say it has to be 
CONDEMNED and punished.

Hear what I'm saying? It's a long way from saying "someone shut
Cheryl's mouth" to showing them how they can do it. It crosses the
line.

By the way, what about the path that jj listed?
