verne,
You wrote,[...your point...{should} be tempered with submitting to...authority...].
I see this discussion innitiated by Larry not as a call to rebell against the authority, but as a protest to the way the authority is adminiistered and to discuss ways to improve the administration of the site. I see the posters that said that they would do it anyway, in knowing that there was a rule against it, to be doing it because they thought that they were doing a good thing. The fact that others posted that they thought that it was not a good thing does not necessarrily mean that the posters that did do it did not think, to them, that it was a bad thing to do.
Are you quoting the bible passage that said,[..render to Ceaser...render to God...?] If so could you explaine the relevance that you think that verse has in respect to Larry's protest of how the administration is done here? I do not see Larry as advocating that people do not "render" to obey the rule about asking for money, but to express that in the case that he is citing , that some posters thought that there was just cause for such. Are you also citing the bible verse that states,[... submit yourselves to the government...] applys to Larry's post here? If so, could you clarify how that is? I do not see Larry as trying to advocate that others disobey the rules , but to address the way they are administered and seek constructive change via a discussion about how he feels about the way the cite is administered.
