Not that anybody here will care, but the original article is mistaken when they state that you need to torture the captive in order to gain access to the Nexus quests. The torture quest can be quite easily be skipped.
The author is either lying to make a point or simply mistaken, but either way, their complaint about not being given a chance to walk away is invalid. Walking away is as easy as abandoning the quest and literally walking away from it. It's not as if the rewards from the quest are even that great.
Of course, just as in real life, when you step up to do the right thing, you'll get minimal acknowledgment and dozens of less-principled underlings will step up to do the job that you refused to do. That's life. Unlike real life, you won't lose your job or have any long-term consequences for refusing to do things you don't want to do.
I find it an exceptional occurence that the blast pushed down your left mouse button when it was over the "submit" button before destroying your computer.
Excuse me while I go write a virus that will replace the boot sector on all windows-running computers with a small program that displays my resumé and contact information.

Hackers can and will hack into your computer and make it explode. I learned this from the front page of a tabloid last week.
So in other words, everyone was too busy forking around to actually pay attention to what information was being sent.

I'm going to keep on using Web 1.0 until somebody shows me a Web 2.0 application that isn't a waste of precious kilobytes.
