I think it is saying something that in 2 pages we get almost everyone just questioning it and not using it to hammer another nail into adam.

Theoretically, this whole situation was used to promote gun control and an increased invasion of privacy....So the event didn't go far enough to cause our society to scream for additional limitations on our liberties.....So, this added 'story' gets created. The story gets created to push for finger pointing at federal agencies, 'you suspected him for something but did nothing about it' regardless that they didn't really have anything against him at the time, but 'something'......So they take a small hit for not doing something a decade ago, but now have a cause-effect to take even harder action against others in the future......"we took bob into custody.'....'why?' ....'because he is mentally unstable'....'why?'.....'because he wrote a story and hacked OUR server'....'uhm?'......'you don't want another adam lanza, do you?'....'oh, okay, carry on.'

Sorry OP. Not to be insulting, but this is a classic example of a post hoc fallacy.

Agreeing with some of what he said doesn't preclude you from being disgusted by his actions. Hitler outlawed vivisection on animals, that's something I agree with. However, it doesn't change how I feel in general about him.
