Politically motivated in this context clearly means related to Wikileaks and nothing else. All I want to say that it isn't.
That's why comments like yours are pedantic self-importance that only want to derail the discussion.
- Natsu 14y agoWikileaks itself was flagrant disrespect for the political system, whose secrets it exposed. I don't see how you can say it's this kind of politically motivated but not that. I see that you've retreated with that "and nothing else" part though, admitting that it is, in fact, a factor.
- arrrg 14y agoPlease stop putting words in my mouth. The British justice system is motivated to get him because he is behaving like a prick in public and managed to escape them. That's all. Not really politically motivated at all.
- Natsu 14y agoThe "and nothing else" part was a direct quote from your post as of the time I read it. If there have been edits, I have yet to notice them. I believe the distinction you are trying to draw lacks a difference. You may consider that pedantry, but being able to communicate precisely what you mean is important, particularly on a story like this where tensions run high.
