[techtalk] Enough!

[Maureen Seller]

Ok, I would like to throw my vote in for calling this officially "over the 
line".  The flamewar spawned by this person's original email was *hardly* 
interesting enough to justify all of the traffic, but now we've sunk to 
PERSONAL THREATS.  This is unacceptable!  Stop this crap now!!

Listmeistress, I hope that you will kick this person from the 
list.  Threatening to ruin someone's academic or professional career by 
forwarding slanderous or inflammatory emails about their "cup size" *ought* 
to be unacceptable behavior on at least *this* list!  (We'd be all over 
this person if we could prove they were a man - the gender of the person 
*making* these not-so-idle-threats ought not to be an issue.)

For those of you who may be attacking this person's network, whether out of 
rancor or curiosity, please demonstrate that you can be more mature than 
she is, and leave her network alone.  Please!

>I would like to address several issues quickly here.

>First to the person who thought that it was foolish to have security set 
>at medium on a linux box.  rtfm.  That is where security should be set for 
>a client machine on line.  High and paranoid are only for servers and 
>render the box useless for everything but solitare.

>To the owners of ip #211.72.43.234 & #10.91.218.147, if you continue to 
>attempt to break into my computer I will take the time to hunt you donw 
>and locate your employer/college and I will send appropriate 
>documentation, log files, and a letter to your respective 
>employer's/school's and inform them.
>(Same goes for anyother ip numbers that show up in my log files)  It has 
>been 4 days you have not gotten in.  You will have to do better than 
>running someone else's kiddie scripts.  Get a life.  (and some computer 
>skills while you are at it.)
>
>To Jenn who thought using 'pretty' in my email address was inappropriate.
>How about the email you sent to Connie about your triple D tits?  His wife 
>is still laughing.  She did ask that I mention to you that insurance will 
>cover the surgery necessary to fix your disfigurement. If you deny this 
>she will forward the email, with your ip and message number to everyone 
>who ever posted here.  She is a very good friend of mine.  She isn't 
>working now and might even take the time to send it to everyone in your 
>school/employer's office.

>These are open source firewalls and security tools for linux. These tools 
>are painless to set up and use, one not need spend valuable time playing
