    It seems like any discussion of the pitfalls of the GPL are beyond the pale on Slashdot.

    Sir. We meet again. I don't understand why you insist on posting these immature postings when it is clear to see that I won the last battle of words with you. Again, I find myself amazed that I bother to reply, but no matter.

    First of all, your smug little jab at the recursive acronyms that are the mainstay of the Unix world show that you have absolutely no sense of what is tasteful and good. Names like GNU (GNU's Not Unix) and GNOME (Gnome Network Object Model Environment) are quite clever and display a level of intellect that you can probably only dream of.

    Secondly, after I handly disposed of your churlish and surly lies and half-truths in my last encounter with you, you have the audacity to assume that you have any right to comment on things far beyond your stature?

    Thirdly, I let the biblical quote from your last childish outburst slide and chalked it up to your being a less evolved creature than myself. If only you could even begin to grasp how deluded you are in your personal beliefs if their foundation comes from a book of fairy stories.

    And so it is with a humble heart and maturity beyond my years, that I ask you to cease and desist now.
