I was part of the small group (wearing suits even, when in Brentwood, dress like the Brentwoodians, I suppose) who went to Wilson and Associates' attorneys offices to deliver a letter asking them to reconsider supporting Chase's efforts to foreclose on a 78-year-old civil rights activist.  Chase's chosen alternative to working with Miss Bailey is to lose $20K-$30K by taking the property to a foreclosure auction.

We made no secret that we were coming to deliver a letter. They refused to open the door to their reception office when we knocked, repeatedly.  Then the UPS delivery man wheeled his cart out and we let him through, only to find there had been people hiding (literally hiding) behind the door to shove it closed immediately behind him.

After that they refused to open, to answer their phones, and ultimately called security and police to have us leave the premises (we were as peaceful and quiet as it comes, for the record -- film forthcoming). We tried to slide our letter under the door and it was block

Some new relationships between Bounded Contexts:

The Double Agent:

   Starts out as a Conformist or Customer/Supplier.  You fail.  So you start replacing / wrapping parts of the upstream.  You ultimately leave your job and go work for them.

The Subversive:

   You are in a Conformist or Customer/Supplier situation.  You eventually cannot get the data you need.  You reverse-engineer or hack the stream/library where the data exists to get what you need.  You realize this gives you a competitive advantage and decide not to push for upstream changes.
