Every slashdotter swoons at the invocation of your name. We all love you.
But this is not the case with lawmakers in DC: in your speech at LWCE this fall you mentioned that many in Congress are fed up with you. To them, you are seen as a radical whose soothsaying has become nothing more than annoying. I'm curious if you think that the EFF is on track to gain a similarly distorted and damaging "fringe" reputation. If so, what is to be done?
Maybe you can also comment on the trend in general: if we in the technical community, who know the truth, are increasingly marginalized by ignorant laws and frighteningly effective rhetoric by goons like Valenti, what is to be done?
