All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing…

The title was taken from Doug Burns post “Why you can’t just say ‘Stop feeding the troll’ …”. I don’t say I am a “good man”, but in this case I totally agree with Doug. Speak out. Speak out loud, and because Doug has his comment feature turn off and Jonathan probably will delete my comment, I write it down here.

I had a small deja-vu regarding Doug’s post, because when Doug and I had a small conversation on a bench in Dallas. One of the topics was web etiquette and one of my fears (just started this website), being sued by people with more money then me, while I only wrote down how I feld or what I thought was a correct (technical) argument.

If I am wrong, I am wrong. I will re-write my post or withdraw it, but first someone has to give me the correct arguments and test case to proof my fault. Lawyers are not in this category.
