The hacker scene is incredibly insular and interconnected. There are hundreds of people who know these guys personally. We all know Lamo and Poulsen. We are all aware that Lamo is a twitchy little fuck, not to be trusted. We also know that he is queer. And Manning is trans. This is why they were talking to each other. Vagaries of the TVTG world aside, the two have something in common: our society calls them weirdo’s. They obviously connected because of this.
So, we are here to fill in the blanks for you folks out there that think Poulsen is hiding something. Indeed, he is hiding something; he is hiding gayness. Sadly, in our ass-backwards fucked-up little country, gayness is considered a social faux pas. Poulsen is simply respecting the privacy of two people.
Gayness is really cool. We like gayness. But it’s not exactly something Wired should be reporting on. And by withholding the rest of the logs, they are not reporting on it. Rather professional of them, don’t you think?
Manning’s life has been fucked up already. We don’t need to read his dirty, very personal chat logs.
If Mr. Greenwald wants to do some actual research, he is welcome to stop into any hacker IRC channel and ask about the involved parties. We all know them, we all understand exactly what happened here. Obviously, we’re more informed than Mr. Greenwald and his Twitter groupies.
Here is the moral of this story: don’t talk to Adrian Lamo. Even if you think you are connecting with him on a personal level, he will still find a way to stick an unwanted dick in your ass.
We will now digress into the hilarious details. We really don’t give a shit if you believe us, we know these people and anyone else who knows them will tell you what we’re saying is credible.
