Are you suggesting that running insecure webservers on the public
internet is as dangerous as pointing guns at people? Sometimes I
think that people take this Internet thing a little too seriously.

A truck, a gun, a toaster in the bath can kill people.

The Internet, on the other hand, is a game. Nothing more.
