Re: [Full-disclosure] Microsoft Windows Help Centre Handles Malformed Escape Sequences Incorrectly

[John Jacobs <flamdugen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Consequently, in my humble opinion I think there should be less focus on the 
emotional interaction between Microsoft and Travis' findings.  Of course it's 
easy for me to assert this; when I wake up in the morning I don't have the same 
challenges of wading through a soup of emotional fog and displacing the 
priority of actual vulnerabilities in favor of emotional interaction with 
Microsoft.

While it's fun to be a Microsoft apologist, and even more fun to be ruled by 
emotion, I would be ashamed to have published what Susan did.  Even more 
shaming is the call to arms which you so eagerly answered only to appear as 
foolish as Susan herself.

It's hard to tell who the trolls are, perhaps Susan is indeed a troll, and 
decided to fork the conversation about actual vulnerabilities and security 
events and derail them by introducing drivel about interacting with Microsoft.

I believe this may be one of the disadvantages of an unmoderated list, perhaps 
it encourages or enables others to treat it like a social networking site.

In my humble opinion, he could have waited a couple more days just in case 
Microsoft decided to do the unprecedented.
In which case, I progressive change of policies at Microsoft are better than a 
couple of users getting hacked from pron sites...


Cheers.
