You're missing my point that you're still beholden to the domain name registrar that manages your domain name on your behalf. That account getting permanently locked out will have all the same bad consequences for your online lif

It doesn't absolve you of guilt whatsoever. If you're feeling lots of guilt over what your employer is doing, then you should resign. There are absolutely companies I would never work for because I morally disagree with what the

A corporate office is not like an administration building at a soft-handed university. There's no way you are going to successfully take over an office for any real amount of time unless you are willing to use real violence and potenti
