The Ethics of "Stealing" a WiFi Connection

[rance]

And yeah I troll this site from time to time, that is when I am not busy hacking your mamas box! Hehe.

Okay, ewwwww!  Oh wait, you meant her computer.  Have at it, it's chalk full of forwarded jokes and chain letters.

Rance,

nicely done my friend

[eth3real]

As long as he's doing it ethically, I guess it's okay.

Most mature thing to do with childish behavior is ignore it.

or ban it, but what do i know...unethical...

[EmanoN]

Please tell me you’re not that big of a newb and think it’s so easy to ban someone from a public forum. If you do, then I feel sorry for whoever you do security consulting for. I know I don’t really belong on this forum because I am not part of the so called “ethical” hacking community. I belong more to what you might call the “underground”, but I never have done anything malicious. As Don pointed out, it’s better to just ignore comments on a forum that you might not like. I find myself doing just that here myself often, but occasionally I can’t hold back!

Don't tell me that you're an unethical hacker/cracker/dark hat. don't get involved in that... The FBI, CIA, and the rest of the alphabet is watching you Emanon...

[LSOChris]

blah blah blah... but occasionally I can’t hold back! 

you dont belong here because you are a troll and thus far have provided nothing original or constructive to any conversation.  if you are so underground then surely there are MUCH better forums for you to impart your vast sums of "underground" knowledge and where your trolling would be appreciated.

[geekyone]

At least EmanoN is a funny troll!   

[iSmith]

yeah. i say somebody should remove him from here

[EmanoN]

Ha Ha, whatever you say noob.  Actually I agree with your entire post 100%.  But at least I am not a hypocrite about being “ethical” and at least I don’t get all excited because I cracked my neighbor’s wep and have to hurry and post it on this forum like some giddy teenage cracker because I think it’s the hack of the century. To me you should be more embarrassed by that than any of my so called trolling. But hey, to each his own.

yeah. i say somebody should remove him from here

And ismith, god I guess you don’t get it. Well if this forum keeps filling up with noobies like you, which seems to be the direction its been going of late, you don’t have to worry about getting rid of me, I will just go!  Yes Don please ban me from here so I can teach some of the noobs here how hard that can be on a public forum like this.  Hey, I am a nice guy and am willing to do my part to teach people the most basics of the internet if I am called upon to do so.

I wasnt going to post on this thread but as someone that has been a member of this forum for nearly 2 years I felt I needed to.  I think Don should lock this thread since its going no where and certainly has run its course.  You dont need to ban anyone, just ignore posts you dont like. I know its hard but believe me if no one responds to someone they think is being a problem, they get frustrated and stop. Its that simple.  Starting a cat and mouse game of trying to keep someone off a public forum is waste of time and energy.  And could escalate into something no one wants.

Emanon,  you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but you really would be taken better if you posted with ,say a better style. Unless your entire intention is to cause problems.  I hope not because if you do have the experience you claim, you could be a valued member here.  Thats my simple and humble 2 cents.

I am locking this topic, because once again it is going way off the intended path. As for EmanoN:

Hey, I am a nice guy and am willing to do my part to teach people the most basics of the internet if I am called upon to do so.

That is all I have every asked of anyone who is a member of this site. So here is your call to action to show your "nice guy" side and share quality information. I'd like to see you start a few threads on your own that truly help the newbies in a positive way to learn something and point them on the right path. Can you do that? I am calling upon you to make a major life change to the white side... that includes who you are, how you are and what you share. Are you up to the challenge?

If not, that's OK. I will not ban you, and you are free to "just go!" as you put it. But I am a true believer that people can change, so I will leave the door open for you. That always has been and will continue to be the direction of this site.
