1) I said modified open content belongs to the community even 
if someone declares it closed.

2) I said the existing trademark laws are preferable to 
additional protection for trademark owners under the OGL.

If you want to disparage me for holding these opinions
then fine.  I still stand by them.  

If you think I said something else then either I 
miscommunicated or you misunderstood.  That can easily 
happen since I am working from the basis that open gaming 
should favor openness and freedom to participate.  While 
others seem to be working from the basis that open gaming 
should help them sell units and prevent others from 
participating with compatible products.
