Compare this behavior to that of people who have truly suffered at the hands of political leaders – for example, South Africa’s Nelson Mandela, Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi, or Poland’s Adam Michnik – and who managed to conduct respectful dialogue with their tormentors. Their tolerance, one suspects, would not have been diminished had they had access to the Internet during their incarceration.
如果将这些与真正曾在政治领袖手中受难者的行为进行比较——比方说南非的纳尔逊·曼德拉、缅甸的昂山素季或波兰的亚当·米奇尼克，这些伟人与折磨自己的人展开了相互尊重的对话。人们怀疑如果他们在监禁期间能够联网，会不会因此破坏他们的宽容。
