You missed the point of what I was trying to say, the nub of which is that claiming moral superiority is not a reason to go to war or attempt litigation. That's in my opinion.

I also recall a saying about people in glass houses who shouldn't throw stones

Or something like if you wish to hang a dead cat in someone's doorway be careful that someone doesn't hang one in yours

Apparently full of righteousness indignation, goldbugs feel that they have nothing to lose on their Crusade --- only to gain. They should do their homework more carefully. They should weigh their costs and benefits more accurately.

The true costs of litigation, counter-litigation and a possible defamation suit against whoever haven't yet hit home. All they have to do is upset one of the big institutions and they will see something.
