It's a shame, the fact that he decided to rm -rf ~ has hijacked the point he was trying to make in the first place. Now everyone's discussing if there's a better way of making his point rather than downloading random scripts on the internet and running them. And the dramatic irony is: he tried to warn people that bad things can happen if they run scripts without verifying... by doing _exactly_ what he is warning about -- doing malicious stuff to you. It wasn't well thought out, was it? Lesson: one can make a point without deleting someone's home directory... (or something equally evil)
