Wow this blog post makes djb sound like such a scumbag. The idea that he would ask people to consider the allegations "false" is absurd (there's a difference between presuming innocence vs presuming the the allegations are false).

I would love to hear his side of the story.

Since when are targets of blatant and long-standing smear campaigns given the chance to tell "their side of the story", and what good would it do if they were, since there is no story of which they could tell their side? You've fallen right into the trap of thinking there is a story which needs to be told, rather than questioning from the beginning, "where is the evidence for any of this?"

What's incredibly sad is it took his detractors this long to find someone willing to fabricate such a transparent story.

Is this the same Dan as the author of qmail? I feel I cannot use that software anymore in good conscience

Shouldn't we wait to hear Dan's side of the story before we get out the pitchforks just yet?

What I want to know is what Jacob Appelbaum is blackmailing Dan Bernstein and Tanja Lange with.

> Jacob learned of a plan to help him correct his behaviour at the next Tor meeting

If I "learned of a plan to help [me] correct [my] behavior", I'd react extremely poorly as well. What utter bollocks; what savage lies!

> My right eye, into which Jacob placed an irritant eye drop, has never really felt the same since then

How can a story written by someone who is so obviously mentally ill and in need of help, not publicity, make it to the top of HN?!
