Vigilante "justice" is not justice. Whether you're talking about DOSing email scams or shooting abortion doctors or unilaterally toppling dictatorial regimes, failing to follow the rule of law is to join your enemies at their level.
Taking the law into your own hands assumes that you alone know what's right and wrong, and that your judgement is infallible. There are appropriate methods to achieve your goals. To remain within society, you must follow the social methods: those which have the proper procedural oversight and just review.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
