Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janx" data-source="post: 6181208" data-attributes="member: 8835">both are probably wrong, but calling 911 is funnier.There's also the difference that rallying a cause is me trying to influence others to support my cause, whereas calling 911 is me directly using a tool (911 and that technically worded phrasing) to make the problem with that tailgate art known to the owner.It's actually probably not a good use of 911 for other reasons.And at its simplest, knowing who the jerk-holes in town are and boycotting those individuals specifically is more valuable than trying to stop the source of the material.So in reality, I prefer that I choose whose practices I don't like and to avoid those people/businesses than trying to persuade other people to my viewpoint through a large public exercise.  Other people are free to observe the world and come to their own conclusions without me trying to lobby them to my cause.Naturally, there's some hypocrisy there, in that pretty much all communication contains attempts at persuasion.I'm less keen on the big scale persuasion attempts to try to shut somebody else down just because I object to it.</blockquote>
