That is strange, I always saw both figures as being popular among the *ahem* politicized conspiracy theorist crowd that has become so prevalent online in the last 5-6 years.
- xtracto 5y agoAll these pro/against witch-hunts remind me of Hans Reiser [short] episode. When the Reiser saga was unfolding, there was a lot of support from people that identified with the "nerd" group. I remember reading so many theories on why "he couldn't have done it", how "it is completely normal to remove the passenger sit form your car", or to buy books on how to clean a crime scene... Not saying I sway one way or another with Assange or McCafee... just that, as in Reiser's case, I am sure there's so much information we don't know that running to make an armchair judgement is most likely bound to get you to the wrong conclusion.
