Go up one level in this thread


I just want to make a couple of things perfectly clear about my view, I have
nothing against you Steve for hosting CTF, i do have something against CTF, but
not the existence of CTF.

When a service is free then you can basically put anything out there and people
can either accept it or not, but when money is asked for in order to maintain a
service, i think that if one feels that sending money will help maintain
something he/she does not agree with (out of principles, political/religious
convictions etc) it is only fair to make that an issue.

I have been accused of being a cheap skate, hiding, using my views as an excuse
not to pay, being a hypocrate etc and that mostly by people who want to keep CTF
as they post there often and wanting to keep CTF is _fine by me_ i have nothing
against people who like CTF or post there for that matter.

When i voiced my opinion it was to make you aware that my donation was not
happening as long as CTF 1) Has the same password as CCC 2) Is hosted by the
same company (persons) that host CCC 3) It is linked with CCC.

This is probably the most important point: I would love to pay for CCC and as it
is now there is no way i can do that without going against my own principles.

Steve all this aside, i think you are a great guy who is generous and has a lot
of courage, keep up the good work.
