The problem with holding this belief, as good as it sounds, is in order to be effective in a lot of situations you will have to "fvck yourself".

the point wasn't to be effective. i suggested it as a feelgood/philosophical boycott that was less potentially self-crippling. the whole reason i came into this thread was because i thought that an 'effective' boycott (one to push sony to take some sort of action) was unnecessary.

This is exactly what you are trying to avoid. It is rare that one defeats a ruthless villian without being ruthless himself.

i'm not trying to avoid it because it's painful, i'm trying to avoid it because it's unnecessary. it was obvious to me that sony was going to get screwed 6 ways from sunday by the press. if that wasn't the case, i would have been happy to do something more drastic.
