Yeah someone linked that the other day on another site (I think it was Bruce Schneier's). Most of it seemed to be fairly logical and not prone to working as well on a really large and/or properly structured site but a fairly interesting read none the less. Mixing humint with sigint.... who would have thought.

I suppose an xkcd link is required for this sort of post/thread http://xkcd.com/1019/

Read a little bit, seems like some bologna concocted in order to scare forum operators out of allowing anonymous posting

I can't help but notice all the "Rules of Disinformation" (apart from the last five) are just bad debating / transparent trolling tactics. Straw man argument, name calling, ignoring valid points, avoiding direct questions, avoiding key issues, changing the subject, drive-by-posting, etc. etc. It's irritating but pretty obvious troll behaviour.
