If we start deciding who are the good and bad guys based on the "I was only following orders" defence then we are becoming totally subjective.
I'm sure that there are people who would tell us what a nice guy Kent is and point to some charitable work that he's also done in his time but it's irrelevent to this issue.
If I question the behaviour of Phorm's staff, BT's staff, the ICO, ministers and MPs or anyone else who has been in any way involved in this no-one complains so there is no way that I can accept that it's right to exempt anyone including Simon Davies from criticism on the basis that it's "bashing".
Once we start making excuses or applying our own justification for some people but not others then we are guilty of discrimination and we will be guilty of bullying certain people because we chose to.
The role of Simon Davies in 80/20Thinking and Privacy International raises serious and relevent issues and needs to be open to discussion without prejudice from any quarter or from either side of the debate.
