The problem is different: Tati was there, there was a meeting running
between hacker spaces and Tati was not at the meeting.
They are doing something, people that want to be involved get
involved. They are not the leader that should take care of someone,
they are a part of the community, and the community should help them.
not viceversa.

1. inform yourself before talking: I have a lotus elise, not a bmw :)
2. inform yourself before talking: i've never worked or collaborated
with police in italy
3. inform yourself before talking: the hackers profiling project do
not collaborate with any police in any place

If being good in my job, and earning money for that, is a problem for
you, it's not my fault, it's not my problem.
Me or my company do not work or collaborate with police, but would be
glad to do that: may be we could help them in harden their
infrastructure and better protect our data. I do not like they have
data about me, but they have... many CCC people do the same, many of
them quitted when they start asking to code malware to infect citizens
pc. what's the problem?
About HPP, do you really think that if we collaborate with police with
that data, FX of phenoelit would help us?

I'm really tired of you lying about me, being envy about my work (and
my money).
Please, inform yourself and stop lying: then we can discuss about
everything...

From them (Philippe, Bre, Nick) I only hear "send materials, help
us". I see no raised wall...

ok, so stop writing "... or we will delete ourself from
hackerspace.org ..." and start asking "how can I help you?".
usually this work :)

that was not so clear reading your threaten emails of past days ...

I'm quite sure that if more people will offer to really help, they
will not refuse some needed help to manage this huge project.
oh, IMHO help does not only mean "insert this text in this book" :),
but mean time, money, believing in the project, talking with people
(not insulting them) and so on.

a mayhem searching for more blue wine ;P
