Parent article: A big setback on software patents

I would say the worst of this unfortunate line is that half of the
comment are completely unrelated to the very imoprtant topic of Patents in
Europe.

It is a natural tendency of everybody of always thinking that the-other
(whoever s-he is) is wrong in some way or another.
And it is a natural tendency to take the-other's remarks the wrong way.

Just to make sure we stay focused on the important issues, it would be a
good idea to try not to tap into these unfortunate instincts of ours.
(Or when you do, at least let it come with a smile :-) so that everybody
understands it is intended as a joke).

Writing is just a very poor communication medium.
