I'm just using this quote as an example, nothing personal implied to the quoted poster.
I don't believe that remarks like this are going to help the cause against Webwise and the like. This campaign should I think be fought on reason and facts and not innuendo.
When someone of influence blogs/ politician/ article writer/ etc. incorrectly states facts about Phorm then we should concentrate on reasonable correction rather than vilifying them. We want to get people on our side not antagonise them and end up fighting the wrong battle.
If I remember correctly Baroness Miller was given incorrect facts by K E and when the true story was pointed out to her she came over to our side and has helped publicise the true story about Phorm.
I know from personal experience that ranting on about Phorm to my relatives and friends just turned them off about the issue. I have had more success in slightly understating things. For example, asking them if they would like their mail opened in order to be targetted with "relevant ads" was much more effective strategy in getting them interested in Webwise and what it really stood for.
I don't understand most of the technology behind Webwise but nor do I suggest the majority of the public which is why the analogy about opening mail seemed to work for me.
