You've made a number of accusations toward Appelbaum, a well respected researcher, without providing any evidence. This generally is a sign that someone is acting in bad faith.
Care to provide sources, or does the person asking me not to believe everything I read expect me to take his claims on faith and "entirely unsubstantiated rumor"?
- sneak 13y ago> a well respected researcher He's only well respected outside of the security research community. Those inside know him better than that. > This generally is a sign that someone is acting in bad faith. Indeed, this is why many people directly affected by his harassment, backstabbing, and general underhanded techniques employed in his pursuit of fame and glory choose to ignore him rather than directly and publicly address his treachery. Unfortunately, that means his past goes unreported. I hold lay opinions of my reputation in little regard, so I (unlike many friends of mine) have no issue saying what I know. It's all hearsay by the time it gets to you, though, as I'm the first hop away with many of these reports. I'm not interested in opening myself up to a libel suit. For a general impression of his behavior, please go review his own posts on the noisebridge mailing list archives. Don't take my word for it.
