I Made My Point

[acushla]

Just wanted to give a big shout out and acknowledgement to everybody...thankful that you were ALL finally able to side with reason on the issue of 'When Is It All Right For an IP....'

It is a better day.

I really don't get the point of this thread.

I really don't get the point of this thread.

This was a new thread in recognition that the end had come to the 'When is it all right for an IP to reveal a client?'...and I simply wanted to thank everybody for recognizing that there are indeed situations that we would dispense with the rhetoric and get real.

So why not post in the original thread?

So why not post in the original thread?

As I have already stated...because that thread is finished.


Though I fully understand what you are saying.

I simply wanted to do it this way.

That's why I stopped reading it and discontinued notification. I seem to be doing that more frequently these days.

Can I say self control? Only with great difficulty.

I am not entirely sure what you mean by 'stop doing this'...and I have learned that if you are not sure it sometimes is prudent not to offer guesses. Could that be self control?

I waited approx. two days to see what response I would get from my last post...and none were forthcoming. A hot thread had suddenly become stone cold. I know various people who had been involved in that post had read what I had written...but no one, it seemed, was prepared to take it further. The silence was deafening...and I wanted to acknowledge that, to me, the silence simply represented one thing: people were prepared to admit that there were indeed (extreme) situations where the right thing to do would be for an IP to share information about its subscribers. I could have made my last example even more extreme and create a situation that a full scale nuclear attack was going to take place and the only way the authorities could thwart this was to have the IP reveal information it knew about it. I fully acknowledge that these are far reaching and unlikely scenarios...but it is not the scenarios themselves that are important. What is important is the realization that there ARE situations where an IP should release the information. Period.

The silence seemed to confirm that.

Never is a word that should not be used without some thought.

That's all. End of story.

I wanted to do it in a separate thread for this very reason.
