::Maybe, but we shouldn't be doing the work for them or whatever party is interested in blocking [[Delivery]] of [[Consumerium]] [[Features|services]]. Rather if someone has thought of a [[worst cases]] scenario, [http://www.consumerium.org/Juxo.gpgkey encrypt] it and mail it to me. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 16:27 Jun 23, 2003 (EEST) | ::Maybe, but we shouldn't be doing the work for them or whatever party is interested in blocking [[Delivery]] of [[Consumerium]] [[Features|services]].

:::If you stick to that policy, you doom the project. No insult to you, but you are simply not smart enough to understand all such cases, not wise enough to know which matter when, and require a lot of help to think of how to deal with them, and what policy to take. Especially on complex matters like protocols and licenses where lots of experience and input is required. This is exactly the argument against [[closed source]] for security products. Aside from all that, a high-overhead way to submit such cases, that only a few people have the tools to use, guarantees you will not see most cases people think of. Successful projects like Wikipedia have revealed and discussed many [[m:worst cases]] and show no sign of being wiped out yet. | |||
:::If you stick to that policy, any worst case that trolls think of, will appear somewhere else and be easily found on google as a Consumerium Exploit or some other obvious tag. You will not have write access so you will not be able to block their visibility to others. So your choice is not "hide or publish", your choices is "publish here or lose all control" over the presentation of such [[worst cases]]. You may take that as both a threat, and as a statement of inevitability. Trolls are trolls. Consider yourself to be bitten on the leg. We are not helping you create a [[monopoly]] you do not deserve (yet), nor are we wasting our time on a stupid and provably-wrong strategy. So, reconsider. | |||
------ | |||
[[Threats]] has now been created, some of which may be [[worst cases]]. If you see a threat you actually believe in, or can construct a worst case that you really believe could happen out of what you see at threats, add that to these other worst cases. | |||
[[Stories]] will help too. They can be either based on [[worst cases]] or [[best cases]]. The best stories are those that show how a best case becomes a worst case by a small difference in the system's design or governance protocol. Like say the difference between [[Gus Kouwenhoven]] getting to grow his business, or his buddies deciding he's a liability, and wasting him, using him to feed the same loggers he is now feeding chimps (cannibalism either way). | |||
