@tqbf whistleblower actions should be judged in the context of what they’re blowinv the whistle on, IMHO
@tqbf I guess I'm making a moral judgment: Is [evil revealed] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [evil in revealing]? If so, latter is justified

@bascule Why aren’t you mad at Snowden for releasing distracting data that wasn’t in the public interest? -
@tqbf because two other people tried to "do it right" (ish?) and failed in attracting a critical mass of public attention -
@bascule Huh? So it’s OK to lie, because… wait. I don’t follow that at all. What exactly are you trying to say? -
@tqbf I guess I am trying to say there's a gigantic fucking elephant in the room and you're spending a lot of time talking about the mouse -
@bascule No, you asked me to talk about the mouse, and now you’re slapping me around for doing it. Who are you kidding? -
@tqbf perhaps my poorly articulated point is that the gigantic fucking elephant dwarfs any concerns about the mouse -
@bascule Give me a break. This is what you wrote:https://twitter.com/bascule/status/421778805091352576 … -
@tqbf well, if you'll give me the benefit of the doubt here, my point is the wrongdoing he revealed far eclipses any wrongdoing he did - 1 more reply
