I'm not terribly concerned about the issue at-hand, here, but I am motivated by the level of idiocy that's appearing in my inbox right now.

I'm not sure free speech or free thought was at stake here, Jeffs; the topic was whether the use of bitkeeper compromised open source ideology. Colin (and certain members of the club) were voicing their concerns in a professional manner. Reducing that concern in an altruistic shriek against national socialism and your "violated freedoms" is a bit simple-minded. Your refusal to receive the petition in an argumentative way is indicative of *your* inability to exchange ideas.
Mr. Merkey, I think you're better off continuing to hand your two cents over to Novell in the future.
Cheers,
Kevin
