yeah. i am of the opinion now that someone is fucking with me, but to what end. and given that the phone number listed in caller ID matched the number provided on the Montreal division of the Civil Court of Quebec. and given that they didn't ask for any information?
― The SBurbs (Alex in Montreal), Friday, 10 December 2010 22:51 (thirteen years ago) link
like...no you are not normally notified by robocall that you are party to a suit, nor are you usually warned in advance that you are underinvestigation by things you have not yet been charged with BUT who would stand to gain from fake calls to canadians re: wikileaks.

This Assange guy has a fangirl Tumblr dedicated to him that boarders on the creepy, pages upon pages full of fan art and gushing over how "hawt" he is with the white hair. Is Tumblr the new LiveJournal or something?
For me, WikiLeaks case isn't even exciting. I don't think we'll be seeing people with "Free Julian Assange" signatures in tech forums like Usenet users did during Kevin Mitnick's case two decades ago.

whoa, just re-reading this thread, did caek and history mayne think i was posting the ralph nader citation in comment to the comments right above mine on the issue of what constitutes rape? i came here to post that and didn't read the most recent comments before i submitted the post...
― jeevves, Saturday, 11 December 2010 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
i've seriously been wondering for two days what the hell they were on about
i can't remember. iirc you were saying that nader being framed was a bit like assange being done for rape. i was saying, nader being deliberately set up is different from assange having something he actually did used as a tool to bring him down for "other reasons".
― man dem coalition (history mayne), Saturday, 11 December 2010 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link
sorry if i wasn't clear about that. a member of my immediate family is a rape victim - i definitely wouldn't make that assertion if assange had actually done something. rereading my post it looks like i was commenting on what someone was saying earlier, but i was trying to make a general comment.
― jeevves, Saturday, 11 December 2010 17:33 (thirteen years ago) link
e.g., if assange is prosecuted for something he actually did he is in no way like nader. sorry i really want to clarify that.

Those were called "Julian Assange masks" on some news site (possibly bbcnews). They either don't know they're V For Vendetta Guy Fawkes masks or Assange has started growing face hair in jail.

It was bbc, but they've corrected it already: it was the photo caption here.
