> People who disrupt business operations are bad people and shouldn't be propped up on shoulders.

Exactly right, which is why Paypal shouldn't have disrupted Wikileaks' account. Bullying the little guy is quite cowardly of these multi-national corporations.

Good examples indeed! Especially the one about Rosie Parks. Of all the possible examples in the history of the world of disrupting business operations in a way that inconveniences people, I can see why that one came first to mind. Perfect analogue for a DoS attack: Denial of Seat!. Brilliant!

You cannot seriously argue that Rosa Parks "shouldn't be propped up on shoulders" because she instigated the first event in a series of coordinated events that stopped the buses in Montgomery County. She was not a bad person. She made a stand against racial segregation, something we now all acknowledge as unjust.

The acidity of your dripping sarcasm appeals to my gen x sensibilities.

"Raising awareness" is what slacktivists say instead of actually doing something meaningful to whatever cause it is they care about it.
