Do you also feel the same way about ideas from Peter Sunde, Kevin Mitnick, Shawn Fanning and the like?
Dismissing ideas because of the origin rather than the content doesn't seem very open minded.
- fandroid 6y agoWe dismiss a felon's voice at the polls for life. I don't agree entirely with this as they did their time, but that's not the case here. In this case, Mr Ulbricht is doing time, doesn't mea culpa (quite the opposite -- he and his supporters think he's a victim), and is now commenting on yet another technical topic (first was bitcoin) the impacts of which are detrimental to him in his predicament. If he were to have been an ex-con at the time of writing who took responsibility for his actions, I may have had a different opinion.
