I don't know who is guilty of anything (on any side), but I do see a severe lack of process. Making unsubstantiated claims (even if they are true) without opportunity for the other side to respond isn't justice. 3rd parties taking action against people (again, on either side) is vigilantism. This how good communities get ripped apart. Someone has driven a very effective wedge through the hacker community (not just Tor!) forcing people into us-vs-them tribal camps. This is why formal judicial processes are important; it doesn't have to be the state, but without some process all we have is a huge "he said, she said" mess and a rift of suspicion through the community as people are forced to take sides. (note again: I have not taken any side or made any claims about the people/orgs involved. I am calling for justice and formal process instead of vigilantism, assumptions, and reactions based more on emotion and partial information) "We have found our Kobiyashi-Maru."
