When Everybody Has a Right/Access to An Attorney/Lawyer (But Some Get Funding From Malicious American Corporations to Spend a Million Dollars on Many Lawyers and Several Barristers)
And send about 75 KG of legal papers to the residence of the "opponent"
We've had a reasonably good and productive year (winter), but we are still eager to document what happened in past years (several cautionary tales for others to learn from because we see similar patterns in other communities/projects [1, 2]), taking up a lot of our time and energy, not to mention loads of money. Our lack of outsourcing and our decentralised, community-based nature makes us more robust.

You know who I'm talking about...
After he moved to a forest and quit shaving he decided to stalk me like a spy (24/7 in several channels) in IRC, using his authenticated account, and do anything in his capacity to stop me talking: (he had done this since 2012)
He is trying to trick people (social engineering) into thinking he possesses knowledge and skills that he does not (poor implementations speak for themselves). Or that he respects women. His own spouse* says (in recent month) that he cannot code and cannot 'hack', either. Showmanship - or acquiring credentials out of a vacuum - is the name of this game and that helps a phony in efforts such as pushing back doors and worse things (TPMs, DRM etc.) on behalf of large companies that pay him a salary to do this. I am grassroots and speak for a community's interests, I cannot afford to pay $1,000,000 to hire lawyers for 2 years. In his case, it is third-party funding [1, 2]), including a boost from Microsoft staff that spent time in prison for strangling women while earning almost $150,000 per year from Microsoft. █

* What probably scares him the most these days is his spouse, whom we can no longer keep involuntarily caged.
