... in the corner; out the way; down the street; where it can't be heard.. etc it doesn't matter the caveat.

The suggestion that other people shouldn't have to deal with protestors on the road, because "they're in the way". Well shit, the AFL is in my way! And they're playing for a good half a year or more as well. Point is, certain things people do, especially on our roads, are gonna annoy others.

Sydney Town Hall was a poor choice or a good choice then? To you.

Look, we're in protest positioning and tactics here. Its essential for the scope of ways to protest be necessarily broad, to allow for the creativity that often accompanies effective protests. You seem to be arguing for a quite narrow definition of allowable/effective protest, and we're just going to have to agree to disagree.

Just stop oil with the paint in the museums et al; Rosa Parks on the bus; Japanese Bus drivers refusing money; Palestine Action Group over the harbour bridge. They're all acceptable and creative forms of protest to me. Whether they're effective isn't the point, the point is we have a society built to accept and accomodate the fact that humanity isn't a monolith.

Lots of protests i don't agree with that I'm glad weren't effective. Doesn't mean they shouldn't have been allowed. Don't know where you're from, but in Australia we try to respect the fact all people are different and accomodate that fact. Emphasis on the try.
