alanback: your opinions on cloaking are just that: opinions. they are your own subjective view, which is obviously not shared by everyone or there would not *be* a cloaking feature.

my own opinion about the "if i can't see you you shouldn't be able to see me" issue matches yours but going the other direction: i don't understand the "if i can't see you you shouldn't be able to see me" sentiment at all. it strikes me as silly and childish: "i can't see you? well then you can't see me either! neener neener!!!" - i see no logic behind it. i think that if you don't want to be seen, you should cloak yourself, if you want to be seen, you shouldn't, and i don't see why it should matter to anyone whether a person who can see them is cloaked or not. i don't understand how my being cloaked affects *your* privacy in any way. but maybe it does in some way i'm overlooking.

does it?
