Poll: Should WikiLeaks be targeted or defended?

9 points| whyme | 15 years ago | reply

I'm curious, based upon what you currently know and if you had to choose sides, would you defend WikiLeaks from onslaught by targeting it's enemies or would help destroy WikiLeaks?

Maybe there should be an option: "I will defend Wikileaks in my words and actions, but not step over any bounds in doing so" or is that the same as "I'm too chicken"?

That's along the lines of stopping child abuse by changing your Facebook profile picture to a cartoon character.

No one should be attacked, neither Wikileaks or it's enemies.

If I really had to choose "I would attack people making stupid polls on HN"

Obviously you have a limited interpretation for the word attack:

Amongst the others:

  .. .to direct unfavorable criticism against; criticize   
  severely; argue with strongly: He attacked his opponent's 
  statement. 
In fact your post is technically an attack suggesting no attacking. Still you feel justified to go around attacking?

Seriously - get over yourself - Do you really have nothing better to do than make comments like this?
