Last night, John complained bitterly… that it seemed someone or group of someones… was using a rather simple and primitive “brute force” temporary attack, to restrict access to the trio of authors’ blog website.
Such “distributed denial of service” attacks are now always only temporary, as any reputable internet security firm may solve it with a simple re-route, and cataloging of the offending IP addresses conducting the floodings. It takes but a moment to hop through the gateway, if you are not one of the attacking IP addresses. Thus it is more a symbolic stifling than a real one, post the year 2002.
Even so, this is not the way to go. Personally, I believe more speech — usually liberally infused with ridicule — of his uniformly loony bin notions… is the right answer to that malevolent, often hateful speech.
More speech. So we will gladly oblige. There is no need for denials of service — even if that was also the source of the trouble with his ViP event, the night prior — intended to stream over YouTube.
H I L A R I O U S.
So, let us eviscerate them in prose — not vainly try temporarily to stifle them with muzzles.
It is more fun to regularly out-think them, any event… and the victory is sweeter… more lasting. Just like Kentucky. And Virginia. Grin.
