the efficacy of hacktivism as a means of "fighting the power"

[go2]

Hi whitecoast,

I think your question for Guardian has merit, but not in the midst of the forum addressing a complex threat. In a heated exchange it is best to focus on the center of gravity of the engagement. It is not effective to evaluate strategy during a battle, if I may use that metaphor. Anyway, I have done the same thing without external considering many times and I probably will chase a subjective reaction to others minor errors again, although I am more aware of the big picture than I was even a few months ago. By the way, Guardian is a woman with great passion and energy which is a tactical advantage and differs from the more considered strategic questions of aim and method. They just don't mix well. FWIW

In retrospect that was probably the wiseacring "I" of mine thinking again that everyone just LOVES to hear my opinions on things. :(

Yep, that's exactly what it was. In truth, I was trying to politely point out that what you were writing was distraction, pure and simple - or provocation, but it wasn't until you actually started this thread that provocation entered the equation.

Either way, you were focusing on what you wanted to say - not what was actually being discussed and what actually mattered in this specific situation. Internal consideration.

Ahhhhh! I get a glimpse of Internal Vs External consideration. Very Insightful!!
