You claim I am evil, and this is true, but remember: "when your name is
evil that is good or so you think, but you're so very wrong. It's evil.
But being wrong is right so you're good again."[1]

Though some only think of me as the offspring of SCO, I am no such
creature. I am SCO++. I am the next incarnation of SCO. In high school I
was voted most likely to become a mad scientist/physics professor or the
next Bill Gates. It is true that I will provide many of the offerings
that my lesser sibling does, but also I will ensure you that you will
not have to stop running Linux!  With a licensed version you are
completely safe when running, and free from any danger.

I feel that one of my constituents has already responded aptly to this
argument, and will refer you to the email provided by Mr. Holt.

> SLANDER!  BLASPHEMY!!! BURN HIM!!! 

Google defines Slander as:

1. False and defamatory spoken words tending to harm another's
reputation, business, or means of livelihood.

In no way are these statements meant to hurt my opponents. I do not see
how you could construe these statements to mean such. Unless, however,
this harms my opponent's "means of livelihood". Simply put, My opponent
is planning to live off club funds instead of work for a living![2]

Google defines Blasphemy as:

1. Evil and reproachful language directed at God, the Virgin, the Saints
or sacred objects.

I have done no such thing. I am offended that you would even insinuate
that I would say such things.

Where did I say anything about using the club budget for SCO licenses?

Created nothing? I beg to differ: https://mahonri5.net/svn/wntr. Also
consider the fact that I received a 25 out of 25 on my creativity
take-home this afternoon. Therefore, I must be creative. It is simply
others taking my original ideas, my IP, which I will not stand for!

Who needs a EULA to do this?[3]

I affirm that no lawyers will be present at any meeting of the UUG, now
or in the future.

Once again, I point I am not SCO. Their actions do not reflect my own.
They may be indicators of future action however.

Yes, yes it is.

How dare you consider that I would demean such a sacred thing as Steak!
I would never provide anything less than the highest quality USDA
approved beef steaks. Preferably rib-eyes, but there are many other good
cuts of beef. I guarantee only the best Steak for my constituents!

I'd appreciate if you left my brother out of this.

If we pay attention to my opponent's previous email, she personally
approved the message. There is no proof that this message has no been
approved by my opponent, and you should disregard it.
