“…that is the nature of protest. I am sure the owners of the tea dumped in Boston harbor were annoyed. I am sure the white diners at the lunch counter during the civil rights protests were annoyed. I am sure the soldiers getting daisies placed in their rifle barrels at the Pentagon during the Vietnam war protests were annoyed. While it is easy to say what I am doing just makes people angry or moreso - it is perhaps over time that real change may occur.”
Dude…you are actually comparing pissing off a bunch of FPS gamers (a hand-full at a time) to: the Boston Tea Party…to Civil Rights Protesters…to putting daisies into armed and loaded guns.
“My gesture in the game is a simple, pacifistic action. It makes a point.” I would say a little too simple. I little too pacifistic.
