As for being grateful for such individual thinkers, I think not. Chinese students and women's campaigners yes, breakers of rules that they themselves support as well-founded - no.
You're at it again. I've certainly never "sneaked" into anywhere. I've never "proclaimed" anything. You may disagree with my philosophical position, but your attempts to use loaded and contemptuous language to colour the debate in your favour is really quite poor form.
We've already established that the term "flout" is being used inaccurately. We've already established that no harm is done to anyone or anything when accessing certain sites out of hours. It's fine that you don't agree with that. That's your right. But it's not fine that you insist on sneering at and denigrating anyone who holds a different view. I'm not sure how much clearer we can be over this - I (and I assume others) agree that there are certain sites where it is entirely inappropriate to tread off the official path, access them at all, or access them out of hours. Silbury Hill would be an obvious example. However, I (and I assume others) feel that all rules do not need to be adhered to dogmatically. I would bet that the majority of people who contribute to TMA have stepped off the public footpath at some point to take a photograph.
