Wow, was it a computer fraud abuse act thing, I mean claimed to be? Obviously nothing violent!

Thanks for sharing.

I plead guilty to financial fraud, thanks for the interest!

Curious how you project certain assumptions, though. Makes one curious about your own activities.

:( hey I didn’t wanna be rude… I retract the question

Smart hacker news poster comfortable talking about their legal history… feel like I suggested they set out to gleefully hurt people or something

Few who paid their debt to society and moved on are excited about random strangers wanting to do their own petty little performative mock show trials to sit in smug judgement over them. Please stop.

Almost as if there's a limit to how many demands strangers can reasonably place on a person before we as a society agree that the person should put up boundaries (like, say, putting on headphones and outright ignoring the demands) and even go out of our way to encourage strangers to respect those boundaries.

I'm not calling you out, IncandescentGas, you're right and you're doing a good thing. I'm just saying its ironic that you jump to the defense of somebody who has made it clear that they don't believe others deserve the same courtesy you are providing them.

No defence needed in my case. I made a mistake and paid my price. I feel bad for people who are so bored and miserable in their own lives that they feel the need to elevate themselves by trying to diminish me.

It's too bad that they don't live more fulfilling lives that don't require them to feel the need to attempt to insult people.

Smug?

Show trial?
