?! Where do you get this from? I dunno about you but I don't really step on
other people's toes when I implement my right to free speech. You'll have
to elaborate on this.

Yeah but you're assuming that everyone naturally gravitates to White
Supremacist sites. Also, most of the simple web page hacks don't really do
much in the way of advocating any particular point. They hack the site and
srawl the equivalent of "WE KICK ASS AND YOU SUCK! HAHA!". Like you say, an
essay WOULD be better.

This isn't always the case first of all. Second of all, I'm aware of the
fact that most site just go right back up after they get hacked but they
are still denied what might've been crucial hours of time to get their
message out. Also, in doing so, all we do is get people annoyed at us and
have them either attack our own sites or refuse to give more effective
methods of hacktivism support.
