To campaign or not

[Terry McCracken]

Well you better watch out and start learning some politics fast.

If the scientists had been learning some politics instead of researching for truth, you would be still living in the stone age.

If everybody had to construct a new and totally unique wheel when they needed one, we'd still be living in the stone age too.

Without blind followers, refusing to think for themselves and making enough noise to silence other thinkers, Hitler would just have been a strange angry man.

If the rule is that you can claim anybody's wheel as your own we are back at stone age for sure.

This is not the case here because Vas does not claim part of fruit to be his code.
Vas claims the car(rybka) to be his car when maybe there is a wheel from fruit.

If you cannot use an existing wheel togeter with original components to build your car then it is not encouraging to build a new car.

Paying to the person who build the wheel is logical but I think that it should be only minority of the price of the car and a rule that force you to give to the public all the secrets of designing the car only because you used an existing wheel is an unfair rule.

Interesting that you interpret me as a blind Rybka follower Tony.
I'd have stuck up for any engine author being persecuted and vilified in such a merciless and public manner.
And yes, I know you'll say that none of you have anything against Vas, but I'm afraid that it certainly doesn't look that way.
I hope that you never have to face such an inquisition.
If you felt you had a case, it should have been put together in private and then presented in its entirety as somebody else suggested.

Graham.

I have only been accused twice. Both times you were involved, so your remarks above sound really sincere (about as much as your excuses).

Tony

And did you notice that I apologised to you or does that not mean anything?
If I'd gone after you the same way you've gone after Uri, you'd know all about being persecuted.

Graham.

I think you have a problem realizing who the Spanish Inquisition is.

No, as I've said nothing warranting being sheared or fleeced.

I call it as it is.

I've always respected the way that you call it as you see it, except when you lose your rag.
I'm just calling it the way I see it too.

Cheers, Graham.

Yes, but I don't suffer from myopia.

This business of me losing it is a straw man tactic used by people who haven't an arguement.

Bad analogy.

The claim is to be able to manufacture another wheel in your garden shed or Guadeloupean equivalent.

Godwin's Law strikes again ...

Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies)[1] is an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states:[2][3]

"As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
