But I think that calling Brett's posts "hateful" or "extremist" are a bit of a stretch. I don't feel like Brett's views are moderate. But that's just *my opinion*. I come to expect Brett to chime in on GPL issues. My views don't seem to be the same as the average person on this list either. But if everyone on the list had the same views, this would stop being an interesting list to read.
