The spammers, the DDoS'ers, the proxy scanners and rapists, the SMTP auth crackers. the trojan spreaders, the DNSBL-DOS'ers, the hardcore computer criminals are the evil army of one? The following well-remembered lines come to mind here, and excuse me if you hear a slight hysterical laughter from my direction: "First They Came for the Jews First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me." Pastor Martin Niem�ller
