Why am I not surprised? (Score 1)

While I'm not an advocate of temper tantrums or pushing an entire group when your target is an individual, his or her business, wallet, pocket- book, whatever... The IRC has proven itself primed for Denial Of Service Attacks for more years then I care to think about. Combine that with Ron Levin's Anal Retentive behavior exasserbated by his delusions exasserbated yet again by his history and misbehaving OPN as well as his infuriating antics on the networks which preceeded OPN; I have to wonder why anyone is surprised. Furthermore... What kinda of network administrator cant divert an OC12 DOS into the bit bucket before it affects the host. I'm not saying its right. I see it happen constantly. Any network admin worth his/her salt knows how to divert the attach upstream falling back to any of 1 or more redundant backbones to the net. Perhaps you should speak to me about implementing a network that addresses the very issues you react to as opposed to anticipating, planning for, and are prepared to manage proactively. You bet... I can route that DOS into the bit bucket before my dual 7513s begin to feel the pain. Why is OPN a target? I've read the posts from beginning to end. I hear nothing but hearsay, inuendo, a bit of sarcasm along with a bit of humor. Just visit opn and #linpeople. Its easy to see why anyone from 7 to 70 or better might wish to beat #linpeople into oblivion. I read no proof that makes me believe with any moral certainty that 1). This is a kid or a dolt with destructive tendencies. 2). I have no reason to believe that these are DOS attacks at all. For all the evidence presented thus far... this could be inompetant administration complicated by a corporate IT move. Before "Community People" slips my mind again... Forgive me for asking... BUT, wtf is a community people? Are you folks in Silicon Valley back living in communitives of participants living in network ready Community Caves? Enough of this noise. The polls are about to close in Hawaii. The next president is more interesting then this noise. Cheers, S.L.Wicked
