I agree with this, and I was similarly amazed when some folks calling themselves Anonymous started dumping personal information about law enforcement officers onto the web, you don't pick fights with people who are going to hunt you down and eliminate you. It may be they will just lock you up, it may be worse than that.
That said, there is a history of people who have done that, paid the ultimate price, and later been honored for their sacrifice. Seems like history can go either way sometimes in judging the act, hero or idiot.
I'm all in favor of people keeping their eyes open though as they walk into it.
For me things like Flame just tell me that what I knew as an engineer could be done, actually have been done. And that is always a bit of a wake up call.
