“It’s a badly formulated question, likely to lead to confusion.” Why? That’s precisely what I’m denying.
“So, can you specify what this cluster is? Can you list the criteria by which a behaviour would be included in or excluded from this cluster? If you do this, you have defined blackmail.”
That’s precisely what I (Stuart really) am trying to do! I said so, you even quoted me saying so, and as I interpret him, Stuart said so too in the OP. I don’t care about the word blackmail except as a means to an end; I’m trying to come up with criteria by which to separate the bad behaviors from the good.
I’m honestly baffled at this whole conversation. What Stuart is doing seems the opposite of confused to me.
