No, I resisted the obvious first opportunity, and didn't compare you to the terrorists when I first posted on the subject. I even resisted the next three or four opportunities as you drew that comparison. But as you kept on shouting out your hatred while at the same time hypocritically stating that such hatred is bad, it kept getting harder and harder to resist pointing out that what you were spouting was indeed hatred I will agree that mine was a nasty, vindictive attack. On the other hand, what you do not see is that your attack on RMS was at least as nasty and vindictive. They are, essentially, the same attack - comparing someone to a lunatic with no regard for human life. You are doing what I predicted anyone with an agenda would do, and trying to use the emotional energy generated by this disaster to help forward your own agenda. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
