   Without someone willing to go on the record or more details, I'm going 
to call bullshit on this entire blog post.  I'm an avid Tor user that 
runs bridges and hidden services from home.  And as a Comcast customer, 
I've never been contacted for this behavior.

   As for PinkMeth, disgusting people do disgusting things all the time 
without using Tor.  If I could burn that hidden service to the ground, I 
would, but that doesn't solve the underlying problem in our society.
