Joe Kohn, Bible Thumper? No way. Basic respect for the laws of this
country does not reside exclusively in the "Bible Thumper Club"-- the
law of the United States of America on Copyright violations is quite
clear. You had no right, legally, morally, or ethically to download
pirated GS software and offer it to the world at large. Put simply,
the software license for the software said "This is not to be copied."
You copied it. Anyone with more than 3 working brain cells, anywhere
on the political spectrum can tell that you're wrong.
No egos were shredded on this side of the fight. However, you're
the one who's continuing to act big and tough, as if you've been
halfway important or "won" a battle. You also keep claiming to be "one
step ahead of me." Thanks for exposing your back; I'm not above giving
you a good kick in the rear.
