it's weird how we can have differing views. not with each other but with ourselves.
i think we all have the right to paint or draw what we wish. to make it public or not as we see fit.
ye i feel that when something is published that we know will probably get us stalked, even at times to the point of death thread; (salmon rushdi) we shouldn't then expect the police to give us protection. if i poke a dog i know to be vicious in the eye with a stick i know i 'll prob get bitten, so i don't do it.
still, i do believe a cartoon is no worse that a verbal joke. and for me any verbal is fine.
as for the difference between drawing a cartoon and ddosing a site. for me there's a big difference. the latter can create financial loss. put people out of work even. a ddos is an attack that has a physical effect in that it stops us doing something. a cartoon affects us only on an emotional level. it doesn't close our site down, it doesn't stop us surfing a certain site. it doesn't put people out of work. the cartoon i can accept as humour, the physical retaliation i can't accept at all. though i understand them to a small degree.
