you might have a valid point and you might find some people that agree
you might have noted that the threads revolving around litigation by
RIAA against our neighbors is off-topic since there's no evidence of
Linux anywhere.
Personally, I don't see this as an issue of bickering like grade school
children at all but I would guess that we have differing 'tact filters'

More specifically though, I do have the feeling that this is an issue of
interest to a great many of the list members.
Lastly, Chris is certainly bright enough to put forward a cogent
argument for his opinions and I thought I was genial enough the first 2
times I asked him to make his point relevant. I would think that a
vigorous discussion (even dissent) is a healthy way to advocate an
opinion.
Besides, my dad is dead and before that, always made it clear that I was
to fight my own battles.
