I stand by my statement that EFF did not assent to the "harmful to minors," and none of Brett Glass's attempts to translate nonassent into assent will change that fact, although he may succeed in clouding it. > [...] > > In short, you spoke glowingly of White's proposal and endorsed major > portions of it. Actually, we endorsed no portions of it at all. > Now, a lawyer (ahem!) might argue that you didn't endorse it 100%, but the > fact is that you gave the appearance of being quite willing to accept it. It seems to be the nonlawyer here who is arguing that black is white and vice versa. > That's the impression folks out here on the Net got, and it's almost > certainly the impression that folks inside the Beltway got. Actually, most people outside the rather hermetic world of com-priv seem to have understood us correctly. But, then, they aren't Brett Glass. Now, I anxiously await your next attempt to argue that when we said "red" we really meant "green," and that this is how everyone understands us when we say "red." Given Brett's insistence on personal attacks directed at me (he keeps mentioning my profession in non sequitur comments), is it any wonder that John Gilmore got irritated by his willful, bile-ridden attack? --Mike
