Please desist with the ad-hominem ("literal-minded idiots," "brain shutting down," etc.) attacks. Please stop arguing about the argument itself ("can't follow a discussion for more than two articles," "come up with some new arguments," etc.). Please stop accusing others with whom you disagree of various sorts of ritual uncleanness, invoking mystical murmurings about poor software engineering and virus-based licenses. Please try to restrain your use of emotionally-laden terminology - it just might light someone's fuse, and neither the match nor the explosion is welcome. Get up from your desk, walk to the other side of the office, pour yourself a cup of (decaffeinated!) coffee, and watch the snow for a while. You'll feel better, and so will everyone else. I did, and I do.
