I have also been thinking about setting op some kind of wiki on tor. To include documents and full names etc to throw over some bad people and practices. (and anecdotal stories)

Lack of integrity kills everything. This is one "resource" you start with, that you can only lose. There is no gain. Some people lost it all before they can understand what integrity is.

In Dutch, a pinecone is called dennenappel, so if anybody mistook a pineapple for a pinecone, you have dennen(pine)-appel(apple). I think we have more of this misunderstandings between Dutch and English (acorn is a fruit, but an "eekhoorn" which is pronounced in the same way is a squirrel, that eats acorns).
