"An equally important part is to refrain from doing it" No, that would be closer to the "asking permission" philosophy.

  It's better to ask for forgiveness, but asking permission, when feasible and practical (Zed ignored the guy, after all) is nice.

    So the steps you really suggest are: 1) Ask permission. 2) If you don't get permission, do it anyway. 3) Complain and berate the people you crossed if you suffer consequences from doing it anyway. Gah. I think I've had quite enough of talking with you.

      Not exactly. 1- ask for permission 2- if you don't get an answer, assume the subject is not that important to the person you asked 3- Do it 4- If person who ignored you denies you permission retroactively, comply 5- Complain when the person who ignored you and then denied you permission to do what you already did, which you promptly removed from public access, also insults you for no reason beyond not getting his attention in the first place. I think that covers it very thoroughly.
