I'm not suggesting I know what is the "correct" way of portraying the Hacker community.. I'm suggesting nobody knows. I'm also suggesting that Emmanuel seems to think he knows how to precisely define the Hacker community. That's the impression I personally get, maybe I misunderstand. Comparing it to Christianity (etc) is probably reasonable... "Christianity" is a term that envelops a shocking variety of practices and beliefs....some completely contradictory.. Though I disagree with him, I'd encourage him to speak his mind about it...I think this sort of discussion is good. I hope I didn't give the wrong impression, I don't think him speaking is counter-productive, I think his "strategy" of trying to distance this sort of vandalism from hacking is....especially since it's something that has always been a part of hacker culture, or at least has had ties to it and evolved along side of it.
