A letter on self-restraint from the Unabomber
(lacking a heavy helping of comedic self-awareness)

[TEXT OBSCURED] email in which you wrote: "Somebody like that Norwegian who tried to wipe out the Labour govt in Norway (I think he killed 70 odd people, all leftists)--Anders Behring Breivik--that's the kind of people the anti-tech movement would need."

Both Deb and Susan were appalled at this remark, and for good reason. ...

I know why you wrote those remarks: You're very angry at the technological system, and rightly so. But anyone who wants to do serious anti-tech work has to be prudent and has to exercise self-restraint. If you just blurt out whatever your emotions lead you to say, then you're dangerous, you could seriously harm our group, therefore we can't afford to have anything to do with you.

So what have you got to say for yourself?

Yours,
Ted Kaczynski
