yeah its pretty shit, but its probably also a result of the very successful public campaigns to portray anyone interested in personal privacy as a tinfoil lunatic.
privacy advocates growing weary of being attacked and ridiculed, inevitably turning nasty themselves.
not saying its justified, just trying to identify the roots so we can hopefully fix them.
all of us may sometimes be at risk of falling into these traps.
