1. What do you see as the line (however blurry) that seperates BH and WH? Try to give some examples.
The fine line between whitehat and blackhat is divided by what you use to edit your site. If your site is developed with Frontpage, then your site is whitehat, provided you use no blackhat SEO techniques such as keyword optimization (using a single keyword more than 3 times on a page).

2. Do you practice BH?
Sometimes, when I use Dreamweaver.

3. Why or why not?
Because I enjoy being a rebel.

4. If yes, do you own both BH sites and WH sites? Which do you focus more time on?
Yes, I own both. I focus an equal amount on my sites. I spend about 1/16th of my time working on my websites, and another 1/16th on Facebook.

I spend 7/8ths of my online time downloading movies,
3/4ths of which is porn.
1/8th featuring Jenna Haze.

5. How do you feel about people who practice what you consider blackhat?
They should be BANNED from the internet! THEY DISRUPT THE SANCTITY OF REAL WEBSITES!

6. Check all that you CONSIDER blackhat with an X. Check twice if you've done it, are doing it, or plan to do it. Check three times if you simply consider it stepping WAY out of line.

[X] Mass site generation
Comments: I don't believe anybody should own more than 3 websites, period.

[X] Content scrapers (possibly markoved)
Comments: Scraping can damage the integrity of server hard drives.

[X] Trackback spamming
Comments: Trackback sounds racist. Illegal.

[X] Comment spamming
Comments: This should be illegal

[X] Blogfarms on your own domains
Comments: If by blogfarms, you mean crabs and by domains you mean penis, then hell no!

[X] Automating directory submission, including topsites
Comments: This should be illegal, unless it could cause pain to a DMOZ editor, in which case, its all good.

[X] Breaking CAPTCHAs, or otherwise bypassing them
Comments: Any CAPTCHA that can be solved by a human on the first intent needs to be redone!

[X] Using social networks in an automated fashion to gain traffic
Comments: I don't know why anybody would want to do this. I use Myspace to chat with my girlz.

[X] Digg rings/exchanges, stumble exchanges, or anything of the sort
Comments: Is a Digg ring like a cock ring or more like a circlejerk?

[X] Keyword stuffing (including tricks to hide blocks of text)
Comments: I'm all about stuffin' the shit out of keywords.

[X] Cloaking - showing relevant but highly "SEO"ed pages to the search engines (this includes things like scraped markoved content - please specifiy in the comments), and more friendly content to the user
Comments:

[X] Buying/selling Links
Comments: Buying and selling links is like selling hoes, the page eventually gets worn out.

[X] Exploiting Widespread XSS Vulnerabilities to gain Links
Comments: Is XSS some sort of new ecstasy pill?

7. Any additional comments?

SEO is the root of all evil and therefore qualifies as blackhat. It hurts the REAL site owners who take the time to choose their site colors in Frontpage.
