Aside from the fact that I don't see much logic in your argument,
and that therefore I don't see you as defending logic -- I don't
really see where static logic is the issue.  The issue is that
Microsoft (and others) is engaging in monopolistic practices,
you are defending those practices, and I consider those practices
evil.  Therefore, you are an agent of the devil.  Simple enough
for your feeble mind to follow?

Fine.  Go ahead and use it.  I'll continue to try to save some
souls, thank you.

To the left?  Bullshit.

I hope I sound scary enough that some people out there will stop
and consider what's really happening.
