Really? You're a seasoned follower of Hacker News and you don't know who Lawrence Lessig is and what he's done?
Clearly, I've offended you. But I don't know why?

Thank you for saying this. You are brave and beautiful.
You call me a scold and accuse me of scapegoating. You claim that "no actions of any commenters here lead to Aaron's death" and imply that Aaron should have been able to survive the onslaught of financial ruin and the…

They use the internet to collect the data.
Dinosaurs were not cold blooded as it turns out. They live on today as birds.
What I am saying is that you are accusing Schneier of setting up a straw man when in fact you and he have a difference of opinion. This is not a straw man. He left nothing out of his assertion. However you did. Care to…
