Vinnie the God and dictator of Gnutella has decided to heavily censor his board, meaning he can't stand not having control over what is posted about his spyware.

Here's the thread:

...BIG SNIP...

DON'T USE BEARSHARE TILL HE GETS RID OF THIS CRAP!

I agree. When I first installed it I thought Bearsahre was easy to use and functional.

Since then I've changed my mind. Something is not right with Bearshare. Vinnie has been too defensive and unwilling to listen to reason when it comes to the Adware/spyware. Now we find out about these encrypted packets and Vinnie has become downright abusive to anyone who questions his business tactics. He is also censoring the forums at BearshareNet. I myself had a post critical of Bearshare removed from the Adware forum.

So I uninstalled Bearshare and switched to Gnucleus, which I found to be BETTER than Bearshare, has NO SPYWARE, and IS OPEN SOURCE. Vinnie's attitude has been unconscionable, in my opinion. I no longer trust him, his company, or his software.

I'll add this to your assessment of Bearshare:

DON'T USE BEARSHARE UNTIL VINNIE GETS RID OF ALL SPYWARE AND PUBLISHES THE SOURCE CODE !
