Following on from the last posting, the Manchester Guardian ask the right person to write a piece, and Danah Boyd makes an unsurprising amount of sense. The comments are illuminating.
Meatspace rules of engagement don't map well online. As experience with AGSF, uk.control, uk usenet in general, nipplegate et al have demonstrated with depressing regularity. However, it's futile trying to educate the sort of (self-righteous) activists who understand committees but don't understand when they're being trolled or that whoever is UID-0 controls their world.
I sense a poll coming on, but I'm mildly worried about the state of the results. In the meantime, I shall put up with that sort of behaviour as much as usual.
If you fully grok 'the right thing' then you're good. If you're a rules lawyer, then there's no hope for you and I hope you have a shit life.
Anyway. [/Clarkson]
The Czech Republic is clearly the world centre for mad transport and it makes me glad down to my little socialist/anarcho-syndicalist boots that we have an EU. Or it's a steam working day for the Titfield Thunderbolt re-enactment society. (Vaguely via RDD)
