My furious responses to provocation have probably made that clear, as well as my desperate need to have the last word. These are all shortcomings of mine. Even little things. When you said 'bully to you' twice after my one of my rants, I nearly lost it. I felt utterly trivial and lost. I literally felt crushed. I don't know why. I never call people immoral. I call their actions unethical, at most. Human nature is neither here nor there. There is no intrinsic evil. Actions can be criticised for their negative consequences- even so, I prefer to call such things unethical- it is a softer way of putting things, and 'morality' has 'religious' (?) connotations I would rather avoid. Also 'ethical' sounds better than 'moral'. It has a more... analytical air to it, rather than a gut decrying-type thing. I think Mario went a bit too far there, in comparing open-sourcers to 'misbehaving children'. Regardless of our disagreements, we shouldn't resort to blatant condescension. I'm sorry. To everyone really. I should (lol- there it is again) have stepped aside earlier. I'm sorry.
