That type of attitude does not imply one of tolerance and understanding.
It conveys an absolutist view of ``good'' and ``evil'' and ``right'' and
``wrong''.
Rather than seek ``harsh punishment'' for those involved, it's more
constructive to become aware of the motivation that led to the deed.
Perhaps GNU needs to better covey its ideals.
- Remember, by less-enlightened individuals, punishment of ``taggers''
was called for. Now, we have come to realize that graffiti is a form
of populist art.
