Anyone who supports Slush's attack on BTCG is wrong.....
Actually this wasn't an attack, just a test. I didn't want to hurt btcguild and I was ready to switch DNS back asap in case of any troubles.
Semantics.....
Someone is firing a machine gun at you and the bullets are piercing and damaging you, so you knowingly turn the firing gun onto to someone else to see if they bleed too ?
....because you THOUGHT they might be bullet proof ? Or the attacker would remove his finger from the trigger once focused on someone else ?
Let's see THAT argument stand up in a court of law.
Pretty bad analogy. Slush is not in control of the gun, he is using a shield and analyzing the bullets bouncing off of it.
This whole thing got pretty grey when some pools started allowing botnets on board. I am not faulting them, they have very little choice. But once that line was crossed, pools that down allow them and are being attacked at least have the right to try to figure out what is going on.
