“RF: "Theft is never innocent" … Interviewer: But notions of theft depend on
notions of property. RF: What is theft? … Examine the intent, would be my first
approach. We may or may not know what is ours, but we have a pretty good
idea of what is not. … [Reasonable, decent people] may or may not agree with a
declared position - "theft" or "violation" – but we will honour the position because
the alternative is … non-consensual & therefore a subtle form of violence.”
- King Crimson founder Robert Fripp on artistic theft and audience taping of live shows

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
