Pardon the pun and the recursion, but do we agree that there's also exploitation of child exploitation? We are living in a cruel world and the real clashes for power, wealth, influence and control are more serious than breaking virtual spears and hurting egos in forums by downvoting or banning - those clashes kill people and make the whole life of many innocent people miserable.

Have you read Rick Falkvinge's "Cynicism Redefined: Why the copyright lobby loves child porn"?

falkvinge.net is down ATM, is this yet another crazy conspiracy?

Another common sense question is why the lead developer of a transparent free software project would agree to participate to a closed meeting? What exactly stops you from telling them something like "if it's not open and transparent, then no thanks, I'm not going there"? That's exactly your best bet for staying safe against kind demands like "Hey Gavin, can you please add a backdoor to the bitcoin client? Of course you are prohibited to tell others that we have asked and if you do it - you end in Gitmo". Why would you refuse such a safety opportunity?

We can occasionally see people pointing fingers at RMS and laughing, calling him crazy and all that stuff. But nobody ever dares to even suspect he has a hidden agenda that's different from his public point of view, because he's straightforward, open and transparent about the things he claims to believe in. Do you think these shady meetings you get yourself involved with contribute to the trust level the [often not enough informed] community has in you as lead developer of Bitcoin project?

And by the way "moderated by somebody yet-to-be-determined" just SCREAMS CENSORSHIP, I really hope that's not your own wording.
