We're not disagreeing. I think your interpretation of tptacek's subtext is the same as mine. In some of his posts, he has been, however, comparing the researcher's dump to criminal activity -- something I am not in disagreement with. His implication that calling the researcher's boss is a sensible approach to intimidating the researcher for potentially criminal activity -- that in particular seems like a stretch if he's being truly objective.
