Torizens, this is a concern troll: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%
28Internet%29#Concern_troll

They have repeatedly said they "support Tor" and "want to be wrong,
but..." and then spread poison.

List administrators, you have dedicated significant resources towards
stopping censorship, and I understand that you don't want to use the
banhammer lightly, but any unkempt garden inevitably becomes a bed of
weeds, and this is something you need to kill NOW.

Even if you hold the view that this person is not intending to disrupt
this list (which I don't think you have -- you're all intelligent people
and I think you can see where this is going), it should be obvious that
this line of conversation (i.e., "is anonymity only for criminals/the
wantonly evil") is not appropriate for this list.

List members, please don't respond to concern trolls. They're easy to
spot: if someone says "I would LIKE to believe the positive case for
Tor... But Tor is totally evil in practice," or in general, says "I
agree with you, BUT I disagree with you and you are enabling evil," they
are a concern troll. Just look for the abrupt about-face. Ignore the
veneer of congeniality. It's a lie.
