I acknowledge that. But I think a protest that is focusing on a small
number of unified goals is better than a group that shouts 5 different
things that to the uninitiated may seem unrelated. Also, boycotting
Adobe right now does not help us meet our immediate goals.

I'm not going to call for civil disobedience, and I'm not going to be a
part of a protest that does -- at least not until there is no other way.
We need to stay focused and stay civil -- getting too carried away is
not going to help matters.
