Stunts are a great way to draw attention to a problem. Michael Moore being the King at this I reckon. BUT the stunt has to have a clear message. I've participated in many stunts and engineered a few but I like to think that witnesses got the message. And no smallpiper, Eric Berne was meerly the observer of "The Games People Play" he does offer some suggestions about countering "bad games" but his focus is on observation (and on selling his book). He does not mention stunts like the one we are discussing, as such.
John I think your response was entirely appropriate and it highlights exactly the point I am making.
