Bzzzt.... Sorry, non sequitur. Yes, going from arbitrary claims that someone unethical to claiming to point out unethical action is indeed a non sequitor. I'm surprised you pointed out your own illogical behavior, though. > > Saying that someone is acting out of hatred and malice in an era > when hate crimes draw special punishments is mud-slinging of the > vilest sort. > Again, non sequitur.

Your grasp of English seems to rival that of Alanis Morissette. Claiming that actions are taken out of hate is mudslinging, pure and simple. If your claims happen to be true, then you aren't guilty of libel, but are still guilty of mudslinging. The bottom line is that every time I've seen you enter into such a debate, you inevitably wind up attacking Stallman. Resorting to attacking the proponents of an idea is always an indication that the attacker no longer has no way to attack the idea. Which is a fact you have yet to deal with. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
