Wise words on the events of the past few days from Hoder, who e-mails to say:
"Never give up blogging, unless you are arrested in Tehran and tortured because of it."

Someone said here "e-terrorist whose actions are every bit as condemable as those who kill"...
I am romanian, I do not agree with Daster's way of dealing with things but there's a huge difference between suspending someone's accounts and killing someone. And If you don't see the difference between them, you really have a big problem. Think that your e-mail account is hacked. It's unpleasant. Think that your son is dressed in an orange suit...dressed to be killed. Can you compare this two things? If you can, you have a problem.
I don't want to justify Dester's actions, but you, people, take the internet too serious. Internet is almost nothing comparing to human life.
You can say that a hacker is a full-time terrorist. But imagine that we've heard that terrorists that kidnapped our jurnalists saying that they are "fighters for freedom" and they are annoyed by the terms we use to describe them. Imagine that we don't refer of them as terrorists just because they said that they don't like it. Imagine an entire country suffering from Stockholm syndrome, blaming on everyone and everything but the "kidnappers".
Imagine that someone you know is on prime time news having a gun next to their head. Imagine that there are hackers doing small or big things every day. Imagine that you could write, before saying sweet thins to this Stu who is doing such wonderful things, an email to someone important asking for the freedom of our jurnalists. That's the first decent thing to do, than you can be as angry as you like at an hacker.
And remember: you can define your own system of values, and if an internet account is worth as much as a human life, you are humanoid but not human.
And Stu, if you are doing that wonderful things that people say here, why not trying to help some jurnalists in orange suits guilty only for doing their jobs?
Free innocent romanian journalists abducted in Irak!!!
