Although you've answered twice, you're still avoiding the question.

He asked you if you prefer war over script kiddies, and said he's disgusted that you seem to. I agree.

Do you or don't you prefer actual war (including torture, rape, cluster bombs, starvation, etc) over "cyber warfare" (including script kiddies, copyright violation, web site graffiti and defacement, leaked email and photos, cyber bullying, doxing, inappropriate use of apostrophes, etc)?


I wouldn't put doxing in the same category as "web site graffiti and defacement". It has the potential to be psychologically every bit as damaging as rape...


I'm sure Alfreda Bikowsky was psychologically damaged by being doxed as the key apologist and senior officer at the center of the CIA's torture scandals. But not as badly as the people who were physically damaged and killed by the torture she ordered and flew to witness because "She thought it would be cool to be in the room".

So how is what Alfreda Bikowsky did and was doxed for not as bad as anything script kiddies have ever done?


That is a straw man question. Meanwhile drone strikes are run from europe and whining with no action is considered good form there.
