But casually shitting on one of the last true cryptographers of our time is an interesting take.

@phnt I'm pretty sure the reason why is partially because djb has a recent reputation for calling everyone who disagrees with his opinions an employee of the NSA

@sam @phnt he is actually kind of weird and the appelbaum support thing is personally distasteful but he's also smarter and more right than everyone on cryptography. the concept of this list is weird for a lot of reasons, in part because of course the guy making the list is trying to get all these people isolated and destroyed (but not HARASSED)
