Abstract

In a sensitive project the objective, as has been stressed before, is not to kill off opponents, it is to convince waverers and passives. These groups like people who succeed by being honest, nice, polite, skilful, peaceful and hard working — what are called white knights, in contrast to black knights who are evil. The best way to counter opponents without appearing aggressive or nasty is to call on one’s allies.
