This link is really disturbing.

The poster seems to go out of her way to frame all accusation against Jake Appelbaum as a setup to discredit him. She even begins with an apology that claiming that wikileaks and Assange are worthy of excusing him. Bascially, 'but he does good work'...!

The text analysis reaslly outlines just how far people are going to try to drown and reject any allegation. Violet Blue's post contains dozens of precise allegations, with employer, locale, people and precise situations. Many of the incidents she describes can be verified, his getting fired and the emails. Yet, we're being served the same 'but he does good work.'

that's a very long-winded way of also saying "but he does good work"
It's a long-winded way of saying that the anti-ioerror camp is led by a group that has logical inconsistencies and possible dishonesty throughout its accusations, is attacking the people it claims to be trying to get justice for, and is scortched-earth inviting harassment upon uninvolved people who happen to live in ioerror's building.
The "anti-ioerror camp" is not a single group, the idiots attacking the building have very little support I would imagine.
