If you read again, you may notice that I said nothing at all about ideology (except to note that it was irrelevant to the discussion at hand).

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all."

If OSS to you means "a nice knock-down argument" (and from your response, perhaps it does!), then great, but, eh, don't expect to be able to actually y'know _communicate_ with other people like that.
