All this does is encourage them to look for the lists that people are
using to generate the attacks on their lists (like list-managers), and
give them leave to come and attack THOSE lists. After all, you're
starting it. And they have better attack tools than we do.

Doesn't this simply sound like encouraging folks to drop to their
level? Does to me.
