	Gadfly (social) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Gadfly" is a term for people who upset the status quo by posing upsetting or novel questions, or attempt to stimulate innovation by proving an irritant.
		The term "gadfly" was used by Plato to describe Socrates' relationship of uncomfortable goad to the Athenian politician scene, which he compared to a slow and dimwitted horse.
		During his defense when on trial for his life, Socrates, according to Plato's writings, pointed out that dissent, like the tiny (relative to the size of a horse) gadfly, was easy to swat, but the cost to society of silencing individuals who were irritating could be very high.

		The Gadfly is a student-run publication at Western Carolina University with the intent of provoking thought from its readers.
		For The Gadfly's purposes, sarcasm is inappropriate because it is an attack against a person "designed to give pain." Sarcasm is a low blow.
		We do strive for original and intelligent articles for publication, but because articles are solicited exclusively for The Gadfly from full-time college students (who oftentimes lead very busy and hectic lives), it is extremely difficult for us, as a publication, to always maintain the same high standard.

		We like to think it's someone (or a company, in our case) that "stirs the pot" -- bristles at the status quo, bucks the norm, etc. And in the record industry, there's a lot to work with.
		When people hear of Gadfly Records for the first time, they often ask "What kind of CDs do you release?" Quite simply, we specialize in offbeat and unique projects, whether they be singer/songwriter albums, releases from our ethnic and instrumental series, or spoken word projects.
		The musical styles are as varied as can be (from folk to rock to blues to classical to world, and on and on) -- but each project has that certain uniqueness that separates it from the run-of-the-mill, middle-of-the-pack releases in its genre.

		Soon after Gadfly folded with the March/April 2001 issue, the creative forces behind the print magazine launched Gadfly Online.

		A little over a year later, when Gadfly Online ceased publication, we had amassed a diverse body of work that by-and-large was apolitical, and existed like the print Gadfly, to celebrate the creations of artists and unique individuals, and hopefully, in the process, make our own contribution.
