I still think you are "equating" what Zero said to something you think is
similar, and then attacking your "equivalence" of what he said, not what he
actually said.

Thanks. Just for the record: I think Zero can take care of himself. I was
more worried about what newcomers would think of your behavior. And even
while I was defending Zero's rights to speak or not speak what he wanted, I
do agree that his ideas are threatening and bogus. My whole career is based
on keeping secrets, and I make a hell of a lot of money doing it. I have
personal secrets, family secrets, client secrets, industrial secrets,
military secrets, and national security secrets that I don't want to be made
public.
