Not agreeing with Onno = inflammatory? What the! I think calling someone a
troll, asking for the discussion to be moved OT, and calling someone's
postings drivel is probably a better description of inflammatory.

All I have done is put forward an opposing viewpoint, and refused to easily
accept paraphrased and probably inaccurate views of the situation. So far, the
argument has changed from 'to stop people from using the linux name for bad
things' to 'to stop people from using the linux name for things that arent
linux' to 'to stop someone else from trademarking the name'. All of these
arguments are flawed in the extreme. Id like to explore that, but it seems
blind acceptance of decisions from up high are in order around here.

Here's your bat and ball. Perhaps the manager will see this for what it is:
healthy discussion of a linux related topic on a linux mailing list.

By 'contributed' do you mean 'agreed with me'?

Im sorry Onno, but I simply refuse to accept things that dont make sense
simply because someone tells me to, and then gets annoyed when I dont.

Thanks for your input.
