If its any consolation PL was better at SAD then the Goons, although the Goonie black ops squad were no slouchers. It took about 2 or 3 months of SAD to make BRUCE collapse, and I was there during most of that time. I tried to do most of my stuff late in the evening when the GOON's were winding down. It was easier to get away with snooping and pooping with them. PL was however a step above that, when there Black Ops squad was operating, I was very very carefull or just logged off.
The interesting thing was I really wasn't really mentally affected by it. I couldn't make isk, and trying to do any industrial stuff was a major pain in the arse, but I managed. The interesting thing was actually watching my fellow average Joe alliance members falling for there crap. Lock, stock and barrel. I had people who I had never heard of sh1tposting at FOOM at EVE-O, a year later. Talk about a mind game 
That was the main reason we left BRUCE before the fall, not because we were being SAD-ed, but because most of the idiots in BRUCE were falling for it. The Dead Parrot Shoppe actually had some very sucessfull anti-SAD operations going early, the only problem was virtually no one else was trying.
But hell thats ancient history. I got to hand it to PL though, taking down a 3000 man alliance with less than a hundred cloakie ships is quite an accomplishment.
I learned a hell of a lot about SAD from that experience. Several times we invaded the JQV constellation in Syndicate and SAD-ed whoever the locals were, out, so we could squat for a few months, and suck up some 0.0 resources. I had a lot of fun doing that. I was the master of the nuisance POS attack evemails. It was fun as hell warping in, taking one pot shot at a POS and then getting the hell out. Then cloak in the system, and watch the opposition come pouring in thinking there was an attack 
After a while they got lulled into a sense of false security and then we would launch the real POS bust 
Oh god those were some fun times.
But hey enough, this was a what to do during or around DT thread. So Ill shut up now.
