I really can't believe that this is happening. I only found out about this situation today, after hearing about the attack earlier. The service provided by BlueSecurity was invaluable, and probably even more so to those users who are even less computer oriented than us IT people. I understand and respect with the decisions of BlueSecurity and its CEO. However, I do not believe that BlueSecurity and the BlueFrog application should be allowed to shut down. All this has managed to do is show that if someone tries to stand in the way of spammers, then spammers are both justified and encouraged to attack them like criminals. Spam is an annoying blight on the Internet and BlueSecurity was one of the few groups out there that took an active stance against it. Now they are gone, thanks to a pathetic group of idiotic ingrates who piss people off as badly as stupid drivers.
In the end, I think those of us who greatly appreciated the services of BlueSecurity should do something to keep the company alive. While I understand that they wanted to avert a potential "cyberwar" that only us users could condone, I personally feel that if those slug spammers wanted to risk a cyberwar, then we should at least let them feel that their loss is both deserving and painful. In the end, it is those of us who use the Internet, loathe spam, and appreciated and respected the services and goals of groups like BlueSecurity who have the power and responsibilty to let the spammers know that they were wrong to attack these groups and that they are not welcome anymore.
I would like to know if there is anyone out there who would like to support me in this quest, just to get an idea if it is possible to do so, or if pacifistic apathy really has begun to take root in too many places.
